    Real talk

    If you've dismissed powdery florals as delicate, Malabar 2017 might recalibrate that. The iris here isn't shy. It wears leather in its drydown like it grew up there.Malabar 2017
    Valentino Uomo Intense takes the refined iris of the original and kicks it up with real warmth and spice. The leather is clean, the vanilla is restrained, and the sage-juniper heart keeps things.Valentino Uomo Intense
