Valentino Uomo Acqua (2017)
by Valentino

Great scent, but, EXTREMELY weak..almost greiviously poor performance! Nice if you want to smell awesome for 30 minutes and that's it. Sort of classy and kind of feminine leaning, definitely not for me. Why is good performance so much to ask for???

Green, yellow or red. I am going to translate them to buy, try or pass to know if I should stick with green or yellow. For me it is not a buy, but it is at least a try.

Notes mentioned from the producer is citruses, leather and iris. The impact from the word "Acqua" is not making it a citrusy scent. More like a watered down original. To soften it up. The iris and the structure is still there.

It can be compared to others with the homme/intense/aqua flankers. In the case Invictus Aqua, the Aqua improved a too intense base. I don't think this is the case with Valentino. For me it feels watered down, and therefore I prefer it not watered down and would go with the original Valentino Uomo.

I have to mention the performance. I am usually not that sensitive in these discussions. Some are stronger, some are weaker. This is surprisingly weak. I have increased my number of sprays and it is still not that projecting or long lasting. So for those looking for "beasts", this will not be for you guys.
