Finally someone got it completely right on the differences between DHI and VHI. I like both, but the dry down journey as you describe is so much different. IMO, this is a great example of a house getting an intense version of the original absolutely right.
Totally different from DHI indeed.Similarity comes in the opening but goes away after. I even prefer this over DHI now because,this one comes to my skin as smoother and softer than DHI which tends to be more stronger. As always,good take Ashton.
Like it..have it.One of the best bottle designs too..uomo shows a little better being the clear glass.Looks killer on the shelf.Valentino...man they have some great suits too.Sotd..Duro.Later brother.
Just got this, i would not of even thought of homme intense if i had not heard of the comparison , this is more crisp scent, very nice but i prefer the dior line.
Jaji Olatunde Longevity is great on me especially in cooler weather. I wouldn't wear in the summer but if I did I'd spray it on myself twice but that's it!
Jaji Olatunde It really isn't but if it's your favorite go-to scent then go easy on it so it won't overpower to the point of dispersing too quickly so that it may project a bit longer
I think this is good but to be honest it's already collecting dust in my collection. Great crowd pleaser but might not be interesting enough for the fragheads looking for something a bit more artistic.
It's been almost a month and a half and I still don't have it. When I wrote and asked the company if this was normal they just refunded me. Looks like I'll need to order something new because I doubt this one will ever come.
can you do a Abercrombie n fitch woods review I want to trade because I don't have it I want Gucci noble too if you have it I got colonges that I don't like and my eud de cartier is green why please help?
Please let me know how the Israel bottle goes for you. Which seller did you get it from? If it's Beauty-Outlet, that's the one I ordered from, that seller seemed to have thousand of positive reviews, so I took a leap of faith. Still waiting for it to come.
None of them, they are extremely feminine and dry down is even worst! so if you are coming from a decent male kinda scent, you will regret it buying them, trust me! YOUR WELCOME.
GentleGuy I own BDC edp 2015 batch and I don't have any performance problem with it.I know AHSE comes in edp as well.Its gotta be a reason why Chanel frags never on sale or am I wrong?
Gentscents I bought this fragrance a few months ago as a blind buy and tbh I didn't like it much it felt deep and thick, but the dry down was nice..yet I felt it was hard to wear or if woman would like it so I returned it..is this a thing where you have to grow into it or just depends on the person ?
Yeah, depends on the person. Agree that it's a deep, rich fragrance. It may be that you feel toward this that I originally did toward DHI. Originally I didn't know if I could pull DHI off and never wore, as time went on I began to like it much more and now I'll wear DHI or this one without a second thought. People do like this one but you have to wear it with confidence as well. All that said it won't be for everyone and that's totally okay, if you don't enjoy it yourself then don't worry about it.
Gents Scents I agree man its similar to dhi with that rich iris note but maybe I'll buy a decant of vui and see if I can give it some use,but lately my nose has been changing a lot throughout my fragrance journey, like the encre noir a l'extreme I do like it and I never use to be into that type of dark rich scent I guess your nose matures into different scents within time
Excellent review. Seems like will have to add to my collection... number 35th bottle. Hopefully not too strong to wear at my Paramedic job..with all the scent free #&***℅... LOL. Any idea of availability in Canada... I'm outside of Toronto.. Cheers Ashton. From Kingston Ontario. Spero
Haha, my office is scent free too on a certain floor. I've got a bottle coming in from eBay, once I get that if it's legit maybe you could order from there?
Agree that it's probably better suited for 25 and up but if you enjoy fragrances along these lines (easiest to point out are Dior Homme and Dior Homme Intense) then you should like this one as well. Wouldn't say it's only for formal situations though but that would be personal preference anyhow.
This one isn't one that's going to be marketed towards teens, if you're comfortable wearing a semi-powdery scent that some will find metrosexual then go for it. If you are into safer things then I completely understand. Ultimately age doesn't matter as much as how you wear it.
@@jajiolatunde9655 It lasted about four hours and is a winter-only scent. I sold my bottle a long time ago. I never liked the smell, plus two random women said I smelled like an old lady, and that was enough for me to get rid of it.
this is the first time i've ever heard someone actually explain this scent properly. good work!
Thanks brother
Yes Ash is the man!
This Guy know's how to review A product Properly. 5 Stars to the creator
Finally someone got it completely right on the differences between DHI and VHI. I like both, but the dry down journey as you describe is so much different. IMO, this is a great example of a house getting an intense version of the original absolutely right.
Thank you Todd. I agree that Valentino nailed it with this one.
Totally different from DHI indeed.Similarity comes in the opening but goes away after. I even prefer this over DHI now because,this one comes to my skin as smoother and softer than DHI which tends to be more stronger. As always,good take Ashton.
Agree with you, the only real similarity is that opening. Honestly this is starting to usurp DHI for me too.
Which is best for the ladies....Valentino uomo intense or Pure Havane, Reflection man ?
I have all the scents mentioned and I have to say this is the most accurate review of VUI yet. Good stuff sir! 👍🏽
FINALLY someone who doesn't say it's a clone of DHI. after the initial iris note, these two smell sooo diferent!
great review!
Thanks brother
these older reviews were really detailed and on point in my opinion.
this is one of the best scents I've bought... love the vanilla dry down
Like it..have it.One of the best bottle designs too..uomo shows a little better being the clear glass.Looks killer on the shelf.Valentino...man they have some great suits too.Sotd..Duro.Later brother.
Duro, nice. Thumbs up for that one.
Thanks, Ashton. Another great review. One of my favorite scents for winter!
It's great for this time of year, a really great release overall.
This is one of my go-to fragrances I love it
How did that Israel connection turn out for you? Great review BTW!
You've gotten way more confident since these day. I can't wait to smell it just bought a bottle.
How is it
Thanks for this great review! Do you happen to have a link of one of these sellers from Israel on Ebay? Thanks
Great review! Yes, please let us know about the Israel sellers as their offers are tempting. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Will do, I'll let everyone know as soon as it comes in. Thanks for watching!
Just got this, i would not of even thought of homme intense if i had not heard of the comparison , this is more crisp scent, very nice but i prefer the dior line.
Totally agree man. I got it and love it!
Do you wear it casually?
Yup , it's nice stuff for sure. Have you checked out Guerlain Ideal EDP ? Love to get your thoughts on that , cheers.
dspada67 I’d like to see a comparison between the 2
How many sprays and where do you do with this one?
Love my DH Intense. Will buy this now too cos of Ash
It's niiiice
As always, kudos on your reviews. thumbs up
Another great review!!! I eagerly waiting your comparison with the Israel goods:)
Another nice shirt!
Do you make all your intros yourself? They're super rad!
Thanks for reviewing this! I enjoy the original and find it to be very unisex. Do you think the intense version would wear well on a woman?
I think that it's also unisex personally, there's a little leather in there but it could be pulled off by a confident woman for sure.
I love this so much I literally made it become my signature scent.
Could you please give a brief talk of its performance and longevity?
And do you think it's gonna work well in the summer?
Thanks alot
Jaji Olatunde Longevity is great on me especially in cooler weather. I wouldn't wear in the summer but if I did I'd spray it on myself twice but that's it!
@@GrindLikeNoTomorrow thanks alot. I've heard it's really not a summer scent.
Jaji Olatunde It really isn't but if it's your favorite go-to scent then go easy on it so it won't overpower to the point of dispersing too quickly so that it may project a bit longer
@@GrindLikeNoTomorrow oh, I see.
Thanks alot for the explanation.
I really appreciate 💯.
hey Ash you should make an Iris top 5 or 10 fragrances that you like. unless you have something like this already?
Fantastic review ashton.
Thank you!
Great review. VUI is definitely a winner..
For sure, it's fantastic through and through.
Vui is amazinggg i just bought it on saturday and lovedddd ittttt
GENTS SENTZZZ MY FAV REVIEWER!!! YOU AND M FORTI !!!
Can't decide between Valentino Uomo Intense, Dior Homme Intense, or Mont Blanc Individuel.. Apparently, all 3 are pretty similar..
MBI is definitely different than the other two. VUI and DHI have similarity in the open and then change as they dry down.
Nice review Ashton!
Great vid, kind regards from a cold Scotland
Great review man
Any recommendations as to where I can pick this up on the grey or secondary market, it seems to be sold out everywhere!
Fresh haircuts and Valentino Uomo Intense go hand in hand....(I'm very observant)
Very very good review.
Thanks brother
I LOVE LOVE this scent but unfortunately doesn't last beyond 4 hours for me :(((
That's a bummer brother
Any updates on that Israel situation? It would be very helpful to me since I live in Israel and it will cut the shipping time immensely. Thanks!
Good video, looking at getting a bottle myself, do you think it will be okay to work, thanks.
If you would be comfortable wearing the original Uomo or DHI or anything along those lines it should be fine.
Thanks
Would you purchase both? regular and intense?
Excellent review
Thank you for watching!
Did you ever get the bottle of Valentino Uomo intense from Israel and compare the quality.
thank you Ashton
This juice is so good! I need a bottle asap but I'm going to wait for it to hit discounters. $110 for the 100ml is a bit steep
It is for sure, pretty expensive still yet
Gents Scents BTW I just subbed. I found your channel today and you're a fantastic reviewer!
so interested in this.
wich is the best- Uomo o rUomo intense ?
I think this is good but to be honest it's already collecting dust in my collection. Great crowd pleaser but might not be interesting enough for the fragheads looking for something a bit more artistic.
great vid
@Gents Scents please let us know how it went with you valentino uomo intense order from Israel, i have also ordered a bottle from israel. Thanks
It's been almost a month and a half and I still don't have it. When I wrote and asked the company if this was normal they just refunded me. Looks like I'll need to order something new because I doubt this one will ever come.
hi, have you checked out Valentino Uomo Noir Absolute? is it blindbuy worth? thanks
eboss I have noir absolu.very nice
can you do a Abercrombie n fitch woods review I want to trade because I don't have it I want Gucci noble too if you have it I got colonges that I don't like and my eud de cartier is green why please help?

Yep, that's the same one. 2 1/2 weeks so far, hopefully it'll be here soon and I'll be able to check it out and contrast & compare.
Gents Scents Cool. For future reference, you could get the shipping expedited if you ask them.
I can't find that seller anymore. Did he quit?
Brother what kind of movie maker program are you using? How much is it? As for this frag I haven't gotten my nose on it yet but in the process. Thanks
Filmora right now, it's pretty inexpensive.
Gents Scents where can I get that program from? I have the old Vegas Pro 11
Do you prefer this one or CH man Prive?
None of them, they are extremely feminine and dry down is even worst! so if you are coming from a decent male kinda scent, you will regret it buying them, trust me! YOUR WELCOME.
@@LOCO2009hec Troll.
great sent
Chanel Allure Homme Eau Extreme or Valentino Uomo Intense?I know they r totally different,but I still gotta choose my Christmas gift:)
GentleGuy I own BDC edp 2015 batch and I don't have any performance problem with it.I know AHSE comes in edp as well.Its gotta be a reason why Chanel frags never on sale or am I wrong?
I enjoy both but if I picked one I'd choose Uomo Intense.
Best for a date....Valentino uomo intense or Reflection man, Prada l'homme ?

Is the intense version worth buying if you already own the original one?
In my opinion yes, but it depends on your priorities of what scent you'd like in your collection. I prefer VUI over the original personally.

how many trigger ?
what happened with the israel bottle
Can I wear this in highschool?
is this for men.or boys can wear this
Taha Khan I personally think this is for men 25 and older and for formal situations. Not very versatile.

bro my age is 18 so can i wear this

HERE IN 2024!!
smells like how a root beer float tastes.
Thanks!
Yess imagine drinking a root war float by the fireplace at Christmas time!
I wish I never bought this stuff. It smells just like Dior Homme but not nearly as high end. IT smells generic to me, for sure.
Could you please give a brief talk of its performance and longevity?
And do you think it's gonna work well in the summer?
Thanks alot

@@guitarcleveland wow, thanks a bunch 😊
my wife doesn't like this one. she says it smells like Dr pepper.
Haha, haven't gotten that vibe from it but everyone will perceive things differently. Bummer that she didn't enjoy it.
Gents Scents I will buy this one regardless lol. it smells more like cedarwood in the dry down to me.
