The perfumer of Uomo according to Bassnotes is Olivier Polge. Other notable fragrances by him are Dior Homme, Viktor and Rolf Spicebomb and Flowerbomb, Van Cleef and Arpels Midnight in Paris, All the Salvatore Ferrigamo F fragrances, Dolce and Gabanna the One (both EDT and EDP), Paco Rabanne Invictus, and Bleu De Channel Parfum (the EDT and EDP versions were Created by his father Jacques Polge).
The perfumer is indeed skilled considering his resume and that he is the current in-house perfumer for Chanel.
@@iconz255 Also a shame he hasn't brought out a new men's release. It's been 10 years since Bleu De Chanel came out so many of us were expecting something new for 2020.
Wow this dude has quite an impressive resume - I’ll have to check out more of his works for sure. Thanks for the info
That resume is unparalleled

Voilà!
It is a Masterpiece.
This was the first fragrance that truly wowed me. I tried dior homme later and just couldnt choose it over uomo ever
Same i was accustomed to smelling just fresh and blue fragrances and this one opened up my journey.
I think you'd love reviewing Dior Homme Parfum, if you can get your hands on it of course. It is so much more than Dior Homme itself as well as super complex and interesting. Considered one of the best designer masterpieces of all time.
This is one of my favorite designer fragrances of all time. Love this one
Before I was into fragrances, somebody sprayed a sample for me and a friend to smell this fragrance in London/Selfridges perhaps around 8 years ago. To this day I’ve always remembered the scent and always associated it with Christmas/winter as that’s around the time of year we were in London.
This is such an incredible unique smelling fragrance.
That would make sense, this officially came out in 2014, but department stores might sell it a few months before official launch so around 2013 - 14
Glad you're appreciating the true genius of Oliver Polge! He took over Chanel after his father's retirement. Can't wait for all the masterpieces he has in store for that brand 😁
I’d love for you to review Valentino Uomo Intense. I find it to be very different from Uomo and in a great way.
Yes!! 👆 I adore VUI 😍
Yes, but get the pre L'Oreal batch.
I have both and intense to me is just woodsier and less sweet. I love both very much
I've still got a full bottle of Uomo Intense that I purchased in 2016!!! So glad I bought two bottles as the reformulation has killed it's performance.
@@shanesoni4175 I'll have to check my batch... Mine is almost entering beast mode
Great review Aaron, your reviews matter PERIOD! 🙏
The most informative and interesting fragrance reviewer 👍
Here I am again enjoying my bottle. Whenever i buy something new be it a bottle of Valentino or a new firearm or a new watch, ill open it and listen to RUclips. Its a ritual at this point. Out of the hundred or so fragrance youtubers I have 4 or 5 that I can enjoy and trust at the same time. Thank you for enhancing the journey my friend.
Perfect timing btw
@Aus Tronaut that's cool 😎
I've always enjoyed fragrances even in highschool. I'm a firearms instructor now in South Carolina also I buy and sell handguns. Only recently have I started subbed to the fragrance community. Maybe the last 6 months. Are you in America too?
Awesome fragrance. One of my favorites for this time of the year. Uomo Intense gets all the love but this one is far more interesting. So happy you enjoyed it, excellent review
This one is a great scent. Also for me it's far classier and always got more compliments than the intense version that gets over hyped.
I've just finished my intense bottle and I'll be buying the original instead this time. The intense version is very different but I find Dior Homme Intense does what it does but, just, better!
Great video :)
I agree, please no false advertising! But essences are great. A great perfumer can create as accord, of rose for example, that is either easier to mix, better smelling, or better performing than simple rose oil. Like you said, they can create here an Iris smell while removing the things we don't like about Iris. I heard from another youtuber I like, Babbs, that mixing certain incenses like benzoin and opopnax with ylang-ylang, you can re-create that iris-lipstick vibe. . . natural ways to create accords better than the originals!
No performance issues on my skin. I've always loved Valentino Uomo.
Really love this fragrance..light and really well blended..Hazelnutty iris and utterly gorgeous..an iris designer fragrance done to perfection Valentino really got it right with this one but I've heard their discontinuing it..Nice one Aaron 👍
projeta bem ?
This is one of the better designers. Very well executed.
I always preferred this to Dior Homme, even though people rave about Dior Homme. Valentino Uomo is better for me. Glad you agree! Btw the same perfumer did this and the original Dior Homme. His name is Olivier Polge. :)
Okay I have a strong opinion on this one. I have worn this since 2014, when it was released and I have had many bottles of it. But I just finished a bottle and bought another 50ml, and boy what has happened! I thought something was wrong. It smelled so watered down and the beautiful gourmand, chocolatey, coffee accord has practically disappeared. It's like it's heart has been ripped out, literally. It was so rich, I have both bottles old (some left in the bottom) and new and there's definitely a difference. It's night and day. I read into it and apparently it was produced in Spain previously but has recently moved to Paris. Does this mean it's undergone the dreaded 'reformulation'! I am not big on reformulation talk but my, this one is so darn obvious. It's upsetting because for 6 years I have been loyal to this fragrance and I have so many memories attached to it. But will I buy another bottle of this new one, no. It's makes me so angry. It's why it's so hard to find a signature scent nowdays, reformulations etc.
All I am saying is if you can like this one, then when it was released in 2014 you would fall head over heels for it. I did, it was such a great designer release and different to what's churned out. I'm so upset, this was my signature scent for 6 years!!!
Yeah I was actually quite surprised Aaron didn’t mention any of the gourmand qualities of this fragrance because it was such a very strong aspect to the fragrance back in 2014. A shame 😢
Valentino broke my heart too, 8 or 9 years ago Valentino V was discontinued. It was my everyday for years. I still have approx 10ml but ill never wear it again. Hurts too much. True story.
@@Chief-Solarize Dua D Pour Homme is the only inspiration I know of, but it's very nice. I recommend it if you miss the Valentino and it's parfum extrait so it's very strong.
@@marcjohn9404 Awesome , I havnt yet tried that one but ill remember that. I've kind of settled into rotating bottles now. Mostly oriental woody spicy stuff. Code profumo ,Aqua Di Gio profumo, La Nuit, Dior Homme 2020 are my dailys now. Thanks for the heads up!
@@Chief-Solarize if you're looking for a valentino v vibe or clone get.... rasasi daarej it's very close
I love this, been using it for many years, have consumed 150 ml and just bought a new 100ml.
Is the new bottle reformulated you feel?
@@shahidgreen996 still the same with my new bottles
Do you think it could be worn by a 21 yo guy as signature fragrance?
I seldom spend full retail price on a perfume but this one was a great acquisition. Masterpiece
Fantastic review!!!
As soon I smell this scent I feel the masterpiece on it
the architecture of the fragance is a pleasant effortless elegance to admire!
That's what it makes me feel this fragrance the first time I try
It doesn't knock your hot of ...you take of yourself to enjoy the aromas play whit your hair your senses a beautiful scent you can ware as your only clothing dress whit elegance and gentle attitude!!!
Well done review sir I really love your toughness of the scent!
love the reviews... the breakdown.. like a scientist and a artist.. like a Davinci of fragrance! :)
Its been on my list. I also just recieved my Animalix. I am rediscovering many of my fragrances layered on it. So far I love it. The dirty side of them.....fantastic!
I love this one. Sadly performance is not on pair with scent quality.
100% accurate!
If you're looking for Orris/Iris and liked this you'll be mindblown with Givenchy Gentleman EDP
not mindblown, but good.
i like the dna scent of Valentino Intense more.
I love your channel man
I like your character you're very focused and passionate keep on going 😀👍.
Subscribed.
I find this one too sweet. Dior Homme intense is my favourite.
Great review! I also agree that Valentino Uomo is prettier than Dior Homme. It smells a little bit more refined.
Great video as always ! I am so glad you liked it , it's one of my favorite fragrances :)
I really like this one and prefer it to Dior Homme , i always get a very slight clash with Dior Homme whereas Uomo just smells spot on. Great review as always. Normally i hate parma violets with a vengeance but this one slipped past me, missed the note completely lol
I’ve been wearing this today (Valentino uomo) - I received a sample. There is something very lovely and unique , like I’ve come across those accords before .. perfume can be so captivating at times . It would be sad if that knobbly refracting gold etc contained an average scent. So I’m dead chuffed it does not. Must buy . Thanks Aaron , peace ☮️✌️
so, what is the difference between an accord and essence
thank you for the very technical review
I love your reviews, A.T.! I actually enjoyed both Dior Homme and this scent and with your depiction of the differences between the two...I know which one I am more likely to buy now for date night! But it would be reversed for the gym - since Dior Homme has a Sport version which I really loved for a gym setting/scenario. So I will go with that for that occasion, and Uomo for date nights and formalities! Thanks again for your expert opinion & details ⛽⛽👃🏽👃🏽💯💯
Excellent review. How do you compare VU vs VUI?
Superb review! Thank you!
Valentino Uomo Intense please? I really dislike the scent. I wanted to love it so bad!
But please be beware of the fact, that there are two different versions. The old one with the build-in sprayer and the new one with the cap. They smell different
Awesome review! Would love to hear your opinion about Prada Luna Rossa Black, which is quite hyped yet.
Hello aaron, I love your oud, I must get another bottle soon and I'm going to leave it untouched for a year or 2 to see how it matures, in fact today I found a bottle of unscripted (Patrick dempsey) my mum got me from avon about 12 years ago,lol, it still seems ok tbh, haven't got the heart to bin it. How long can you actually keep stuff for before things go off as I'm told some fragrances can. Keep up the amazing work.
Great review I really enjoy the Iris note in fragrances! U mention Dior Homme which might possibly be my favourite..u've made me put Uomo on right now lol. You should try D.s. & Durga Amber Kiso, it's a woody amber fragrance but it has a really enjoyable Iris note in it...well I thnk so anyway lol
I can't wait for your perfumes to drop like I just need me some good perfumes and senses
I bought this one a couple months ago.. It was a blind buy... And I really like it. Great review Aaron 👌🏻
projeta bem ?
@@brunorafaelnunesvianaviana5800 it works reaally good on my skin. It projects about 1.5mts... and everybody seems to like the smell. Several compliments every time i use it.
Do you think it could be worn by a 21 yo guy as signature fragrance?
@@gabrielebrioschi6027 of course... and you will smell different! Not a Savauge or Y(YSL)like everybody else👍🏻
I think the perfumer on this is Olivier Polge, who was also the perfumer of the original formulation of Dior Homme. Francois Demachy took over making Dior homme for subsequent formulations. Hence the similarity between Homme and Uomo. One can say Polge attempted to improve upon his original formulation.
Exactly this one i sprayed on me today. Smells very good , but weak performance. That's why, later on, I had to spray 1 time from Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian 🤷♂️
It’s very hard to find fragrances with real orris butter. It smells completely different from typical ionones, it’s usually just alpha ionone and methyl gamma. They will never compare, i’m pretty sure orris butter contains indoles which gives it such a lovely scent.
Real iris butter is out of this world
I have this whole range, LOVE every single one, gets tonnes of compliments
Hello Aaron !! I had this once a few years back and loved it, however now owning Dior Homme Intense and to me these two smell identical, I think Dior launched first (?)
Great passionate review as always. I have the intense version would it be redundant with the OG. version?
Hi Aaron, Irish subscriber, loving ur unique take on perfume reviews, interesting and refreshing to hear the thoughts of a trained perfumer. Would love if you did a 'quality' top ten fragrances, fragrances that you think have great ingredients and that are worth the price tag. Also random request, any recommendations for a good chocolate or gourmand fragrance? Tis the season.
My oxytocin is heavy in rich dark choclate
Thanks I will try
New to your channel & a fan of your reviews mate. Can you please review Valentino uomo intense review (alone) & a Side by side comparison with Dior homme intense?
Do uomo by salvatore ferragamo
This fragrance give me Dior Homme Intense vibes but with a gourmand touch... I still enjoy wearing this and I don't find it to be dated
UOMO AQUA is amazing.
How about the new formulation under L' Oreal? It does have spike around the neck and it does not include hazelnut/coffee notes.
Can you make a comparison please with the Puig version?
Great review. Can you review Montale intense cafe pls. I bought some online and when it arrived i thought I was going to collapse. Not for the faint hearted
Dior homme vinegary note i get that shu badak. Synthetic iris can have that intense doesn't. He prefers uomo over homme. 7:20 Dior homme lots of fixatives sharpness. Dior homme intense better
Does anyonr know if this one has a lot of vanilla in the opening or in the dry down? I do not like when it's an over bearing of vanilla. Which notes exactly you smell during the dry down?
My favourite fragrance. I was dreading watching this in case he thought it was shit. Phew!
Just sold this off. Its good but it last 3 hours! And i got dior homme intense. So why have this. The uomo intense is another story, fantastic.!
A fantastic video in a fantastic mood.
I grabbed a few bottles yrs ago and on discount, i have no problem with longevity, easily 10hrs plus on my skin. Performance ni problem what so ever not sure if its been reformulated
Can you review Kenzo Power? Such a beautiful, underrated and melancholic fragrance from same perfumer
Have both Dior Homme Intense and Dior Homme Parfum, now I'll have to check this one out.
Please try Divine- L’Homme de Coeur which is one of my favorite iris root fragrances for men along with Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier- Iris Bleu Gris
Packaging is visually orgasmic. Notes sound delicious, although gourmands tend to freak me out. Can one really sense the chocolate and the coffee?
To be perfectly honest, when I first smelled this I couldn’t find any similarities between it and Dior Homme, at least with whatever the current formulation was at that time. I’ve never smelled the original 2005 version of dior homme.
It the same in the kitchen. Most people like balanced meals. Greetings, Dominik Mauer.
One of my favorite designer fragrances! I'd be really interested to see what you think of the intense version! The new crap Valentino has been producing is absolute garbage bubblegum bullshit and its such a shame
I want to get this one for my husband as well as Yellow Dream (which is getting a lot of hate) based on the notes.
Please review Thomas kasmala No.4, would love to know your thoughts
This is a Fantastic scent! It’s by far one of my most complimented perfumes ever! Women tended to stop me at the Mall to ask me what I was wearing! Simply EXTRAORDINARY
Wow! What a shocker! I'm putting together a formula for a perfume for my husband and just today I was thinking it might be a little to sweet and powdery but hearing you say that most men like sort of sweet,fluffy perfumes I feel comforted.
I adore Dior Homme and Dior Homme Intense but can’t stand Valentino Uomo and Uomo Intense. I’ve given all 4 another wearing and I think it might be the hazelnut in the Uomo line. I think nutty notes in perfume never have the same effect on me as the odour of real nuts do. It’s coming across a bit funky in Uomo and I can’t move past it.
Can you do a review of Fan Your Flames by Nishane?
Thank you Aron
I cant find it anywhere! Did they stop selling it in 2021?
Dior is way to ruff for my nose, this one is brilliant and alot smoother and last the same exact time on my skin.
Smells great ,for an hour or two .....
Dhi more for me
I personally would be very interested in something petrol-y. Garages and gasoline are some of my favorite smells, I don't know how it would work as a personal fragrance but I'd like to experience it.
People say Dior Fahrenheit smells like petrol.
@@PhilosophicalDance oooh thanks!
If I want to smell like petrol, I would go work at a service station 😏
I thought that Valentino Uomo has other ingredients/notes.
Could you do Middle Eastern perfume reviews ? ( THANKS )
Great review Aaron, bring back the all black background
he meant iris concentrate 😅 not concrete
This is a beautiful fragrance. I'm not really sure what you mean when you talk about a "mathematical" fragrance.
Bruh what are these notes? There's coffee, cacao, leather and hazelnut in there
I love this one. I like it more than Dior homme. Dior homme intense is just too lipstick for me. Uomo is my goto sexytime fragrance.
Do you think it could be worn by a 21 yo guy as signature fragrance?
@@gabrielebrioschi6027 I don't know if it's a good candidate for a signature. It's not that versatile. Really more of an occasional wear rather than everyday. Its going to be too sweet for hot summers days.
Thank you for the info.😁
Well Aaron, the Uomo has been totally reformulated and has since 2021 no sweetness hat all. No more chocolate, coffee or anything like that, no leather. The sad thing, is that stores are selling the new without having the information. Even they list the old accords. Its a shame, another great scent is gone....
What’s a good alternative?
@@matthewagnoli20632021 reformulation is still a bomb fragrance
@Oshianis I think it's better than the older version lmao.
BTW Dior Homme was composed by the same nose - Oliver Polge, I always think the noses/composers/creators shoul be mentioned in the reviews, they deserve it - well, who can know it better than you :)) ! Another great review anyway!
Just bought a 150ml bottle for 55 euros. 👀👍
Pure xs please next :)
Please review diptyque philosykos
Intense is fucking INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slept-on like a mf, but performance is absolute shit. And smells like shit on clothes as it soaks in too much ruining the beauty of the scent.
Cocao Powder + Buttery Iris + Smooth Orange Rind + Vanilla
Please try Trussardi uomo
Interestingly, i love this one, but do not like dior homme at all. None of its flankers smell nice on me😪
Dior Homme has a bitterness almost acidic note to it.
I would love to wear this one and I am a woman!
This was UOMO INTENSE? On the picture and title is original Uomo, but it sounds like you describe Uomo Intense...
