Valentino Uomo Intense opens with mandarin orange and clary sage and settles into a sweet, leathery base of vanilla and black leather; it is made for men and has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: The sweet side leads; sugar fans, this way.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading, while business and daily use trail behind. It is mostly seen as masculine.
Sweet, gourmand and spicy accords dominate. Mandarin orange and clary sage lighten the opening, then iris adds a powdery softness and tonka bean a creamy sweetness in the heart. Vanilla and black leather close it out, and the woody, leathery side keeps the sweetness in check.
