The Uomo Noir Absolu masculine fragrance There are perfumes that hold so many contrasts that it is a genuine pleasure to rediscover them again and again. Valentino Uomo is one of them. Created in 2014, it is a highly nuanced scent. This fragrance possesses a natural nobility, and its strong character conceals a sense of serenity all the same.
The Italian label Valentino embodies the charm and sincerity of Italian-style luxury. Yet Valentino perfumery, though precious and evocative of the designer's velvety world, only truly established itself in 2011 with the beautiful and highly contrasted Valentina. And it was in 2014 that Valentino Uomo likewise achieved success with its sophisticated woody accords gracefully moving between past and future. For this new opus, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, takes on a nocturnal air to better overwhelm us with its sensual power…
Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, or Italian virility pushed to its peak by Sophie Labbé
The Valentino haute couture house has always exuded a style that is both elegant and relaxed, with that sophisticated ease only the Italians hold the secret to, in the image of the house's founder, Valentino Garavani. So when Valentino launched its first fragrances in 1978, it was only natural that they would tell, through scent, elegant and high-quality accords. Yet it was truly with Valentina in 2011 that the house finally earned wide recognition from its audience, and its alter ego, Valentino pour Homme, released in 2014, would be no less impressive!
It was Olivier Polge who composed Valentino's very first masculine fragrance, Valentino Uomo, and he created it to match, in every respect, the fine masculinity of the Italian label. Woody and virile, yet sophisticated and even floral, Valentino Uomo aims to be elegant and charming while playing on the contrasts between freshness and spicy warmth.
Later, it was the flower-loving perfumer Sophie Labbé who gave this charming Valentino man two other lovely variations, under the names Valentino Uomo Absolu and Valentino Acqua. For this third variation of Valentino Uomo, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, the fine woody scent becomes intoxicated more than ever with oriental clamors, making it a thoroughly nocturnal and sensual fragrance, setting aside for a time the freshness of the original bottle.
Today, the new interpretation of Valentino Uomo in Noir Absolu is an oriental fragrance with woody and piquant tones. Oui Le Mag on Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu
Spices, woods and incense smoke for an overpowering Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu
While Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu has lost none of the magnificent iris note that punctuated the woody notes with elegant, distinguished sophistication, for this new opus it is paired with a new intensity of warm, oriental spices that make it more nocturnal and refined. With this Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, Sophie Labbé undoubtedly sought to compose, for the seductive man of the night, a fragrance that would showcase all his most mysterious charms.
Thus Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu abandons the citrus freshness of the original bottle to open with notes of cinnamon and pepper. Then the sandalwood heart offers itself in a sensual woody warmth, opening the doors to incense accords that are more mysterious and seductive than ever. Valentino Uomo Noir Intense is thus the fragrance of an elegant nocturnal seducer who will come to bewitch us with his deep charms.
