I've not tried VI I've tried the born in Rome which I'm sure is a lighter fragrance. A lady sales woman is directing me to lighter fragrances. Its nice when you wear Dhi and everyone says you smell great . REMEMBER I didn't like it when I first smelt it but now I love it and I'm sure I'll love the Valentino Intense also .However I'm going to try the lighter fragrances and see what it is the lady is teaching me.
You keep confusing me. I think you are talking about the original DHI, your frag for life, and not the DHI 2020 version. I only figured it out because DHI 2020 has the name on the cap and not the bottom of the bottle like the original DHI. Seen from other reviewers, and they claim they smell different.
@@agooglecouple2228 Dior Homme Intense (DHI) is one of my fragrances for life. Dior Homme 2020: th-cam.com/video/A5G10yXZgpE/w-d-xo.html is a very underrated fragrance that I think is fantastic. I don't think it's on the same level as DHI though. Fantastic, but not as epic as DHI. Hope that helps.
@@rottenrebels No, not Dior Homme 2020, but Dior Homme Intense 2020 vs Original Dior Homme Intense 2011. Example, th-cam.com/video/7zRIkxjbMxs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared I was trying to buy then I saw two different ones for sale.
I have tried both DHI and DHP. I feel that DHP is way better than DHI. Once you go P you cannot go I is what I feel. The kind of intensity and quality you experience on DHP makes feel DHI very weak to satisfy the longing for that sense pleasuring DNA
Same thing I felt when I tried both at the boutique. I think DHP makes your senses overwhelmed and you can't smell DHI anymore. Try both by themselves and you might realize that DHI is a cozier and more buttery scent. I prefer DHP though, but will get DHI too.
Great comparison video and evaluation. Been waiting for this video a long time. I stopped by Bloomingdale’s to try Valentino Uomo Intense for the first time and was struck by how well they emulated the Iris note. In the end Dior Homme Intense is the most gratifying of all the Iris fragrances I’ve tried. DHI lasts longer and I find it intoxicating. If you own DHI, you don’t need Valentino Uomo Intense. Unfortunately DHI is not distributed in the US though occasionally discounters carry it at not such a discount. Dior Homme Intense is just perfect, and it really is a masterpiece.
I think like you about Dior Homme Intense, it will be in my collection of perfume for ever, I'm sure I will wear this one for life !!! Even if it's once by year.
Hello! i need some advice from you, do you prefer the Valentino Uomo intense or Valentino Born in Roma intense? can you tell me something about diffrences of those two? when can i wear them? i will be very very greatfull.
@rottenrebels Ugh, butbwhichbone is the best. Wow, what a difficult question. I guess because it was first, "Dior Homme Intense," but the one I use the most is Givenchy Gentleman EDP because it's not discontinued. lol..
i am considering Valentino to be my first Italian scent, together with Gucci Guilty Elixir. I also own Dior Homme Intense but it is nice to have something different too, as you said, it is hard to beat such classics....
Great comparison! Although VUI is the best of the Uomo line, and it's good by its own right, I still prefer DHI . I find it more masculine and elegant for my taste :)
I was wondering which one of the 2 I should buy some weeks ago, but even if I like DHI, the lipstick/woman purse smell kind of turned me off, and it was the only smell that I got on my skin, so I do prefer the VUI since it still have the iris note but more complex to me, it evolves on the skin in an other way, becoming darker, sexier, and more masculine. I don’t regret it cause I get tones of compliments with VUI!
The vanilla in VUI actually makes it the more brighter take of DHI. The leather is next to non--existent in VUI. Try DHP instead and you will see what a darker take on DHI would be. VUI smells like cooked mashed rice in milk with some vanilla. VUI in a nutshell basically is granny's rice pudding.
Dior Homme Intense is woodier in the new 2020 formulation. Valentino Uomo Intense (2022) is more powdery. In my opinion, VUI is closer to Dior Homme Intense 2011 version with a hint of leather that makes it darker and more masculine.
I will stick with Valentino 😎 It feels more classy and misterious than DHI, my opinion only 😁 Just got another bottle yesterday because I ran out and the discounts for autumn/winter fragrances are stellar in summer 🙂
@@bernardkwakye434 early Spring, fall and Winter. If you ask me...100% Winter but it's more about the temperature. You can easily wear it under 15°C (59°F) and in a bit higher temp if it's windy. Anything above 15°C it's on your own risk, as in, you can feel the leather being harsher in heat, it's really there, in colder weather the leather is subdued and you fell more of that elegance Valentino Uomo is known for, vanilla, Tonka...all that goodness that is really magic, try a decant 😎 Enjoy.
RR&SS TODAY.it arrived DHI wore it to the shop next door and the ladies said you smell expensive what's that your wearing .wore it to visit my mam she said Nothing. I'm loving it after SS told me I should get it .I got a 50ml bottle just to enjoy it
oh yes oh yes! I'm glad to hear you are loving it!! It's in my fragrances for life collection for a reason 👌😉 You will be the best smelling man around when you put that thing on.. Thanks for sharing Alan! Appreciate it a lot 🙏
To my nose, DHI is more similar to Gentlemen reserved privè. But iris in DHI is more heavy that's why DHI is more powdery and lipsticky than privè. Privè is more smooth dan light. I smell the chocolate on both of them. But in Uomo Intense, I actually smelled coconut cookies for some reason, maybe my nose is weird lol. But i like them all but maybe i prefer VUI and GG privè for everyday use. DHI is more suitable for dates where you sit very close, but VUI and GG privè are suitable for all situations because they are lighter but still have their own character so you will still stand out.
I do agree on that GG Privé is better for everyday use.. Dior Homme Intense is just an epic experience but I use it more for special occasions or whenever I want to truly impress most around me. All 3 are great scents 🤩
Nice review.. I have dior homme intense, but not Valentino intense, I'm thinking about getting it in place of Prada lhomme intense which I really love but being discontinued..
Thank you! It’s not the same as the Prada but its powdery in a Fab way! Both DHI and VUI are amazing and it’s (at least according to me) impossible to go wrong with any of them 😊
I was wondering which sweet fragrance i should buy. Im looking for a more versetile and not so expensive, and leaning towards the younger people side. Would really love an awnser from an expert and keep up the amazing work😊
Nice video. I see two different formulations of VUI. The newer one has a studded collar. Is the newer formulation better or the older one? Please let me know because I am going to buy it soon based on your recommendation. Thanks
Great video. Love you two together! Just ordered a bottle of DHI today. Found a great deal on it and couldn’t pass on it. Did take a little bit of a chance on it. I am not a fan of powdery, iris scents. But everyone raves about this. I tend to lean more toward spicy, masculine scents. Really hoping I’m able to appreciate the “Masterpiece”.
Thank you! 😃 DHI is a stunning scent but some guys simply don’t enjoy powdery scents. DHI is powdery for sure.. 😉 Hope you’ll enjoy it! Please share your thoughts on it when you try it out 😊🙏
@@rottenrebels Great question. I love all of them for different reasons and purposes. DHP for me is the least versatile. I would only wear it dressed up. DHO is the most versatile. I would have to say DHI as I’ve worn it the most and find myself reaching for it more than the others. I’ve come to love powdery scents. Prada Luna Rossa Black is gorgeous as well.
Love the iris note, love both of them. I prefer DHI, but Valentino is such a good fragrance. Its a shame that they killed this scent ( New formulations lacks of projection and longevity).

Hi Andrey! DHI is epic! And VUI is insanely good 🤩 And like you mention I do think both are perfect in a collection. They are different scents and they do give different vibes 😁👍👌
@@rottenrebels It truly is epic! It’s the first one I’ve gotten from the Homme line and I can’t get enough. Do you think DH Original Is comparable? I need to get my hands on the Original and Parfum now that I know how good Intense is.
@@rottenrebelsI’m pretty new to the fragrance game but from what I’ve had or tried out in my opinion I’d give it a 9/10 my nose just seems to love the smell. Also loving the videos I don’t know how someone can be so entertaining talking about fragrances but you do it. Keep up the good work❤
I have both of them... VUI is from LOreal, not the one from Puig... therefore I dont see many similarities between those 2 so I pick them all.. best in my collection ... MUST HAVE
I know it sounds weird but I always say Congrats when finishing a bottle! 🤩🤪 usually means the fragrance was liked and put to use in a good way 😉 so congrats! And your choices for tomorrow sounds great! You tried code absolu gold? Like it?
Great video but im kinda interested to see what wouldve happened if you got the new VUI because recently they just did a new bottle design with a cap and it actually got a tad bit reformulated especially in the pungent opening that got smoothed out more to be mass appealing, as i remember they made it a lil less leathery and more sweet.
for me opening of dhi is a bit off, for some newbie it's remind them mosquito repellant and i may a little bit agree with them but the best gorgeouse part is the powdery chocolate woody dry down make it so smooth elegant and that part is quite last a long time.
VUI's opening is richer than DHI's but it dries down quickly to a bland rice pudding scent with some hints of mandarine/orange and leather. The iris gets dominated by the vanilla/tonka. DHI is much more sophisticated and its simplicity is what makes it much more wearable and sexier. I would go for Dior Homme Parfum over DHI though which is the darker version of DHI while I would say that VUI is a brighter take on DHI due to the vanilla. It just goes into the opposite direction from DHP if the base was DHI.
Hi! This is not one of the newer bottles (but not one of the oldest ones either). I recently bought a new bottle to compare it and there are some differences but the new one is still DHI. Going by comments from subscribers I would say some people feel newer bottles have changed a bit (some say it's less strong), but most people seem to feel it's basically the same. Like always, the best thing is to try it on your skin (spray a few times) and see if you like it or not and then make a decision on getting it or not 😊
I am been using both the perfume . Both are amazing in terms of performance. But Valentino is still underrated in the market. I like Valentino more than Dior.
Back in 2015 I used to wear dior homme intense everyday to college. I had a 5ml sample and I LOVED it but never ended up getting a bottle which I really regret. Fastfoward to now (2023) I just got a bottle of Valentino uomo intense and I have to say it gets the job done as far as the lip sticky iris that I’ve grown to love in the dior
Hi! I think the dior valentino and givenchy gentlemen eau de parfum smell almost the same but i like the givenchy version because the iris there is stronger
I am a Valentino Uomo man. I hate The Dior Homme line. I do not like liplicky, waxy, powdery iris. It's feminine and not my cup of tea. The leather in VUI makes it way more masculine and kills the waxy, powdery iris vibe you get from DHI. VUI all day for me.
Never smelled Valentino but I do own DHI and I must say sadly j am not impressed Maybe it’s my skin chemistry but it doesn’t project well at most an hour but longevity is good and it does smell good but not sexy
Hmm I haven't tried either but I would most likely go with Valentino the lipstick vibe some people talk about in Dior puts me off a bit, but hey I guess I'll have to try them and make a decision but I'm thinking Valentino uomo intense 😉 thanks guys 🤙
Hi Colin, thanks for sharing and thank you! Like I mention in the video, I think both are AMAZING! You'll smell insanely good with any of them. Love VUI myself and will always have a bottle of it! 😊👌
DHI is one of my favorites if not my favorite. I LOOOOVE that fragrance. I purchased Valentino Uomo Intense because some people say it’s better. Also lot of people also say DHI is better soI wanted to test for myself. I will be returning UOMO Intense. It would be an amazing fragrance if Dior Homme Intense didn’t exist. They’re very similar and I don’t see myself ever picking Uomo Intense over DHI. Maybe if I want something a bit less obvious and more subtle. To me Dior Homme Intense is more Lipsticky, fresh, creamy chocolate. Valentino Uomo Intense is more slightly spicy, subtly sweet vanilla and less lipsticky. They’re both amazing, some people don’t like how strong the iris on DHI is. If you want Stronger iris then go for DHI! If you want slight Iris with a bit of vanilla go for VUI. Lavender can be too much sometimes but DHI does it beautifully.
@@rottenrebels YES! The only thing that would actually stop my from giving it a 10/10 is the fact that it’s not an all year round fragrance. And being in AZ, there is a really small window when I can really let it shine. I don’t know tho, I may still wear it year round if it’s not too much since I work in an office, we will see. Scent wise tho? Definitely 10/10 I have many Niche and Designer fragrances and this is one of the ones that i really really enjoy. I also Purchase Dior Homme Parfum and I really enjoy it as well. The great thing about this fragrance is that it also serves as a perfect example of how wearing a fragrance can be more about how it makes you feel than what other people think about it. I have many fragrances and dumb reaches that people compliment and it’s nice and all. I have never received a compliment on Dior Homme Intense at work and even then, it still remains something I want to keep on wearing beacuase of how much I enjoy smelling it on myself through the day! Honestly when I was wearing Valentino Uomo intense at work, it was nice. But it made me miss DHI. In my eyes (or nose) in a world without Dior Homme Intense, Valentino Uomo Intense would be something that I always need to have in my collection. DHI is also the only fragrance I have a back up bottle for and I even got that as a 5oz bottle lol
@@victorbelmares2722 it's important to know which exact you own. The new Dior Homme 2020 just says "Dior Homme" but is *very* different from the rest. So if you've bought your fragrance after 2020, it has nothing to do with the others. Dior Homme 2020 = citrusy & Woody, Dior Homme original/pre 2020 = powdery & iris. I think having both the intense and original is a bit redundant. But if you have the original and really like the fragrance it might be worth checking out the intense version to get it after you finished your bottle. Also, if you enjoy rose and leather, the Dior Homme Parfum could be a perfect fit for you. Since all versions are very popular you won't have any trouble testing them at any given parfum store (except the parfum version)
I never layered anything with dior homme intense because whenever i put it on, its THAT epic scent I want. Ive layered valentino uomo intense with a bunch of other fragrances though and usually love the results. Anything from subtle changes (like adding musk or another layer of something powdery) to more strong choices like a big dose of leather or tobacco 👌🙌🔥
crazy layering I discovered is nautica voyage and azzarro the most wanted (all black bottle) sounds crazy but it's so good on the dry down its like nautica fresh turned dark and sexy while still being fresh
Lol a crazy layering that I never wore but kinda smelt before by accident is Ralph's club parfum dry down and 1 million royal. I can see it working as a skin scent, but the Ralph's club needs to be dried down already.
I've actually only smelled the Valentino, and I love it. One of my favorites. Sounds like I need to try the Dior. Thanks again guys. Now back to my morning coffee.
Hey Rotten Rebel, great video, thanks! Can you pls share your opinion on the NEW Valentino Uomo Intense formulation that came out in 2021? The bottle with the new formulation (not the one you're showing in this video) has a cap and studs/spikes on the collar. According to Fragrantica they have slightly different notes. Do you happen to own the new bottle and can comment on it please? TIA!
@@rottenrebels thanks a lot for your response. I've decided to blind buy it online. Hopefully I will receive the bottle with the new design (from 2021) as I understand it's slightly better than the OG.
Love your videos just discovered your content. Q: own Givenchy Reserve Privee and noticed your passion for Dior Homme Intense - how similar are these two?
Thank you!! A good question.. While there are some similarities, there are also a few things that are different.. To me, they are not identical and they do give me different vibes. I feel the givenchy is less "lipsticky" and more "dry" than Dior, and I do know that some guys prefer Reserve Prive´s take on powdery because of that, and some guys feel the more rich and intense Dior is the best. There's definitely a difference in how that iris comes across and the overall blend. I think I´ll make a video comparing the 2 so I can give a better answer! 😊

I have both, I mainly go for VUI and reserve DHI for special occasions only
The opening in Dior Homme Intense is decent. The dry down is friggin incredible. The strong iris note drops down to a nice powder on the dry down.
DHI is WICKED 🔥🔥🔥

Can we do a current DHI vs Valentino Uomo Intense vs best Givenchy Gentleman (edp or reserve) showdown?! Would be a great one
It's great to see you two together, make more videos like this.

DIOR HOMME INTENSE vs VALENTINO UOMO INTENSE vs GIVENCHY GENTLEMAN EDP which one has the better performance in terms of sillage and longevity?
@@mohamedtounsi9614Great question..🤔
Just got the valentine uomo intense didn’t like it at first but after an hour I’m obsessed lasts ages aswell
Valentino Uomo Intense is WICKED. So does VUI win the battle between it and Dior Homme Intense? 😉
@@rottenrebelsgoing to have to buy Dior homme intense to see how that one is
how would you rate Valentino Uomo Intense from 1-10?@@jagy3174
@@rottenrebelsI’m pretty new to the fragrance game but from what I’ve had or tried out in my opinion I’d give it a 9/10 my nose just seems to love the smell. Also loving the videos I don’t know how someone can be so entertaining talking about fragrances but you do it. Keep up the good work❤
just got it. an hour later i was obsessed too
I have both of them...
VUI is from LOreal, not the one from Puig... therefore I dont see many similarities between those 2
so I pick them all.. best in my collection ... MUST HAVE
I finished my bottle of Valentino Uomo Intense today. I have to go get a new one. I'll either wear Armani Code Absolu or Dior Homme (EDT) tomorrow.
I know it sounds weird but I always say Congrats when finishing a bottle! 🤩🤪 usually means the fragrance was liked and put to use in a good way 😉 so congrats! And your choices for tomorrow sounds great! You tried code absolu gold? Like it?
@@rottenrebels I haven't tried it yet. It's something that I must definitely look into.
Great video but im kinda interested to see what wouldve happened if you got the new VUI because recently they just did a new bottle design with a cap and it actually got a tad bit reformulated especially in the pungent opening that got smoothed out more to be mass appealing, as i remember they made it a lil less leathery and more sweet.
for me opening of dhi is a bit off, for some newbie it's remind them mosquito repellant and i may a little bit agree with them but the best gorgeouse part is the powdery chocolate woody dry down make it so smooth elegant and that part is quite last a long time.
Do Valentino Uomo intense good for the University?
Hi, I answered this in your other comment. 👍
VUI's opening is richer than DHI's but it dries down quickly to a bland rice pudding scent with some hints of mandarine/orange and leather. The iris gets dominated by the vanilla/tonka. DHI is much more sophisticated and its simplicity is what makes it much more wearable and sexier.
I would go for Dior Homme Parfum over DHI though which is the darker version of DHI while I would say that VUI is a brighter take on DHI due to the vanilla. It just goes into the opposite direction from DHP if the base was DHI.
Thanks for sharing! 😊 A vote for DHI but for DHP then 😉
Thanx for the compliment i will try to smell both
Hi both. Which DHI version was this and is this the best option ? I’m aware there are lots of variations of it. Any advice greatly appreciated. Russ.
Hi! This is not one of the newer bottles (but not one of the oldest ones either). I recently bought a new bottle to compare it and there are some differences but the new one is still DHI.
Going by comments from subscribers I would say some people feel newer bottles have changed a bit (some say it's less strong), but most people seem to feel it's basically the same.
Like always, the best thing is to try it on your skin (spray a few times) and see if you like it or not and then make a decision on getting it or not 😊
@@rottenrebels thanks for the reply. I will definitely try this out. Lots of deals on at the moment.
I am been using both the perfume . Both are amazing in terms of performance. But Valentino is still underrated in the market. I like Valentino more than Dior.
Thanks for sharing! A vote for Valentino Uomo Intense 😄
DHI for sure.
Without a doubt!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Back in 2015 I used to wear dior homme intense everyday to college. I had a 5ml sample and I LOVED it but never ended up getting a bottle which I really regret. Fastfoward to now (2023) I just got a bottle of Valentino uomo intense and I have to say it gets the job done as far as the lip sticky iris that I’ve grown to love in the dior
Thanks for sharing! You don't feel you miss Dior Homme Intense? They both have iris but to me they are quite different scents with different vibes 😊
Which one is more wearable ?
I have Dior Homme Parfum, which, if any of these do I need?
I find Dior homme intense more airy and uomo more thick and dark. I don't know if it's the good words to describe it 😬. Sorry for my English 😁
Hi there! Yes, I feel Uomo Intense is more ”dark” than dior hommr intense.
Hi! I think the dior valentino and givenchy gentlemen eau de parfum smell almost the same but i like the givenchy version because the iris there is stronger
Thanks for sharing!!
What about the iris based/theme perfume from givenchy? How does it compare to these two?
did u mention Gentleman EDP? same vibe with DHI... but imo DHI is slightly better
You guys put out great content. Thank 💪🏾you.
Appreciate that, thank you so much 😊🙏
I am a Valentino Uomo man. I hate The Dior Homme line. I do not like liplicky, waxy, powdery iris. It's feminine and not my cup of tea. The leather in VUI makes it way more masculine and kills the waxy, powdery iris vibe you get from DHI. VUI all day for me.
Another vote for Valentino Uomo Intense! Thanks for sharing Rob! 😊🙏
Never smelled Valentino but I do own DHI and I must say sadly j am not impressed
Maybe it’s my skin chemistry but it doesn’t project well at most an hour but longevity is good and it does smell good but not sexy
Yup, love both but dhi is king
More love for the one! 😊👌
Valentino all the way. It's a no contest for me. Dior is damn good, though.
If i had to chopse one scent for the rest of my life, id go with DHI over any designer/niche
Hmm I haven't tried either but I would most likely go with Valentino the lipstick vibe some people talk about in Dior puts me off a bit, but hey I guess I'll have to try them and make a decision but I'm thinking Valentino uomo intense 😉 thanks guys 🤙
Hi Colin, thanks for sharing and thank you! Like I mention in the video, I think both are AMAZING! You'll smell insanely good with any of them. Love VUI myself and will always have a bottle of it! 😊👌
DHI is one of my favorites if not my favorite. I LOOOOVE that fragrance. I purchased Valentino Uomo Intense because some people say it’s better. Also lot of people also say DHI is better soI wanted to test for myself.
I will be returning UOMO Intense. It would be an amazing fragrance if Dior Homme Intense didn’t exist. They’re very similar and I don’t see myself ever picking Uomo Intense over DHI. Maybe if I want something a bit less obvious and more subtle.
To me Dior Homme Intense is more Lipsticky, fresh, creamy chocolate.
Valentino Uomo Intense is more slightly spicy, subtly sweet vanilla and less lipsticky.
They’re both amazing, some people don’t like how strong the iris on DHI is. If you want Stronger iris then go for DHI! If you want slight Iris with a bit of vanilla go for VUI.
Lavender can be too much sometimes but DHI does it beautifully.
Thanks for sharing! DHI is indeed an amazing scent. Sounds like you would rate it a perfect 10/10? 😊
@@rottenrebels YES! The only thing that would actually stop my from giving it a 10/10 is the fact that it’s not an all year round fragrance. And being in AZ, there is a really small window when I can really let it shine. I don’t know tho, I may still wear it year round if it’s not too much since I work in an office, we will see.
Scent wise tho? Definitely 10/10 I have many Niche and Designer fragrances and this is one of the ones that i really really enjoy. I also Purchase Dior Homme Parfum and I really enjoy it as well.
The great thing about this fragrance is that it also serves as a perfect example of how wearing a fragrance can be more about how it makes you feel than what other people think about it. I have many fragrances and dumb reaches that people compliment and it’s nice and all. I have never received a compliment on Dior Homme Intense at work and even then, it still remains something I want to keep on wearing beacuase of how much I enjoy smelling it on myself through the day!
Honestly when I was wearing Valentino Uomo intense at work, it was nice. But it made me miss DHI.
In my eyes (or nose) in a world without Dior Homme Intense, Valentino Uomo Intense would be something that I always need to have in my collection. DHI is also the only fragrance I have a back up bottle for and I even got that as a 5oz bottle lol
I have dior homme thinking of purchasing dior homme intense I've never smelled intense is there a big difference and should i buy intense
Which Dior Homme do you have?
@rottenrebels my bottle just says dior homme I think the original
@@victorbelmares2722 it's important to know which exact you own. The new Dior Homme 2020 just says "Dior Homme" but is *very* different from the rest. So if you've bought your fragrance after 2020, it has nothing to do with the others. Dior Homme 2020 = citrusy & Woody, Dior Homme original/pre 2020 = powdery & iris.
I think having both the intense and original is a bit redundant. But if you have the original and really like the fragrance it might be worth checking out the intense version to get it after you finished your bottle.
Also, if you enjoy rose and leather, the Dior Homme Parfum could be a perfect fit for you.
Since all versions are very popular you won't have any trouble testing them at any given parfum store (except the parfum version)
Have anyone of you layered one of those superstars with another scent, and if so, which and was it any enhancement?
I never layered anything with dior homme intense because whenever i put it on, its THAT epic scent I want. Ive layered valentino uomo intense with a bunch of other fragrances though and usually love the results. Anything from subtle changes (like adding musk or another layer of something powdery) to more strong choices like a big dose of leather or tobacco 👌🙌🔥
How do you know that you have de DHI 2020? I just bought de DHI (just typed this like ‘DHI’) do I have the DHI or the 2020?
We need a LEATHER BATTLE!!!!
crazy layering I discovered is nautica voyage and azzarro the most wanted (all black bottle) sounds crazy but it's so good on the dry down its like nautica fresh turned dark and sexy while still being fresh
Interesting.. A layering full of contrast. I need to try it.. Thanks for sharing!
What about voyage and wanted by night?
Lol a crazy layering that I never wore but kinda smelt before by accident is Ralph's club parfum dry down and 1 million royal. I can see it working as a skin scent, but the Ralph's club needs to be dried down already.
I've actually only smelled the Valentino, and I love it. One of my favorites. Sounds like I need to try the Dior. Thanks again guys. Now back to my morning coffee.
You are so welcome! Enjoy that coffee!! The first cup of coffee is the one I cherish the most 😉👌😄
Thank you! Have a great day 😊
I find the Valentino more masculine. In fact, I have both of them and my wife wears Dior homme intense.
Thanks for sharing, appreciate it 😊
Hi ,please help to get a clarity on whether to buy DHI 2020 or Givenchy reserve privee ❤️❤️from India 🇮🇳
Hey Rotten Rebel, great video, thanks! Can you pls share your opinion on the NEW Valentino Uomo Intense formulation that came out in 2021? The bottle with the new formulation (not the one you're showing in this video) has a cap and studs/spikes on the collar. According to Fragrantica they have slightly different notes. Do you happen to own the new bottle and can comment on it please? TIA!
Hi! I don't have a new bottle and it's been some time since I put my nose to one. Have you tried both?
@@rottenrebels thanks a lot for your response. I've decided to blind buy it online. Hopefully I will receive the bottle with the new design (from 2021) as I understand it's slightly better than the OG.
Love your videos just discovered your content. Q: own Givenchy Reserve Privee and noticed your passion for Dior Homme Intense - how similar are these two?
Thank you!! A good question.. While there are some similarities, there are also a few things that are different..
To me, they are not identical and they do give me different vibes.
I feel the givenchy is less "lipsticky" and more "dry" than Dior, and I do know that some guys prefer Reserve Prive´s take on powdery because of that, and some guys feel the more rich and intense Dior is the best. There's definitely a difference in how that iris comes across and the overall blend.
I think I´ll make a video comparing the 2 so I can give a better answer! 😊
@@rottenrebels brilliant look forward to it 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your video
DIOR HOMME INTENSE vs VALENTINO UOMO INTENSE vs GIVENCHY GENTLEMAN EDP which one has the better performance in terms of sillage and longevity?
On me, DHI then probably the other two in shared 2nd.
@@rottenrebels Even in terms of projection?
@@mohamedtounsi9614 yes. That's my experience of them.
Do you guys noted a Cocoa/choco smell on Dior Homme Intense?
Will sniff it today and see if pick up on it 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Got compliments at a funeral the other day, while wearing Dior Homme Intense. 😶
I have not found one mens Dior fragrance I like, they all smell like chemicals..I do love Dior women's fragrances
I like valentino uomo edt
The EDT (original Uomo) is a fab scent 👌😊
What is your thought about Dior Homme Parfum?
Love it! It's quite a bit like Dior Homme Intense (one of my fragrances for life) but with a few changes and it smells insanely good. You have it? 😊
@@rottenrebels No I don‘t know which is better. Dior Homme Intense or Parfum? Which do you recommend :)?
If I wanted what’s great about VUI, I would just buy Dior Homme Parfum which does it 1000% better
Thanks for sharing cam! I have not seen a bottle of Dior Homme Parfum in a long time though and was under the impression it's discontinued 👀
How do both of these compare to Code Absolu or JPG le parfum?? I am on the fence to get one or both of these in the video!
Please tell age catagory to use for every perfume
Any age. These are epicness in a bottle.
I don’t like DHI I don’t get how it’s so popular?
Can you do a comparison between DHI VS sauvage elixir please?
Hi Arkan! 😁Thanks for the suggestion!
Just ordered my VUI looking forward to it!💯💪🏽
Good choice!! Hope you enjoy it! 🙌👌
Did you get it ? Hows performance
@@illyy-dr8db performance on it was good however not as long lasting as I’d liked. I’d pick the YSL over it but never the less amazing
Here’s a ? Dior homme parfum or Intense???
Both 🙈
@@SandraSolomonFragrance lmao u have to pick one or I throw ur whole collection away haha
@@mofosho intense! Your turn 🙌🏻
@@SandraSolomonFragrance I’ve never got my nose on parfum yet but I think I might like it more since I enjoy leather
@@SandraSolomonFragrance hmm I never got to smell parfum… I will say parfum since I do enjoy leather as long as it isn’t very animalic
ديور هوم الافضل شكرا لك 😊
Sandra has best spot on comment indicating how different smells will attract different kinds of women. Marriage vs 2 yr relationship 😂😂😂
😂😉
BECAUSE OF U & SANDRA EYE JUST RECEIVED VUI☆WHAT A GEM☆EYE GOTT A WAFT & MY EYES CLOSED, MY HEAD WENT BACK, EYE GOTT CHILLZ & MY KNEES BUCKLED (SERIOUSLY) VUI IZ MORE RESERVED & SNEAKY, U THINK ITZ GONE THEN VOILA☆NXT TIME EYE ROCK DHI THEN I'LL MAKE MY DECISION☆LUV THIS COMPETITION⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you Julio! Glad you like VUI, it smells fantastic 🤩
A 2 year relationship with Sandra is just long enough to know that you want to marry me for life😍😘😘
I got both 😅
Thanks 😊
Dior homme intense is iris original no1
And another vote for Dior Homme Intense! 🙏😄
Uh oh... It looks like I have to buy the Valentino even if the Dior is better as I am really into no longer than 2 year relationships.
👀
Badboy-esque. Ur here for a gud time not a long time
Ambre Chic 👀
In my opinion DHI easily smashes VUI
Valentino uono original IS The best.
Yea DHI is too much better, to me uomo is just copying and adding tonka 😖😖😫😣, I’m no tonka fan
😊🙏
Pity that Dior Homme Intense 2020 has been reformulated 😣🤦♂️🤦♂️ The sillage and the longevity are worse than Dior Homme Intense 2011. Why have you done this, Dior? Why?🤦♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
