This Valentino Voce Viva Intensa review explores the scent journey and message behind the Voce Viva name. Your signature fragrance tells your story—be sure to make it a good one.
Who Makes it?
Valentino Voce Viva Intensa is a product of Valentino and launched in summer 2021 after the fall 2020 launch of Voce Viva.
Valentino is a luxury brand for women and men, founded by Italian fashion designer Valentino Garavani. The Valentino brand has several fragrances, including Valentino Donna, Valentina Pink, and Valentino Uomo for Men.
Lady Gaga is the face of the Voce Viva name—she is a powerful, unapologetic woman and accurately encompasses the Voce Viva message.
Voce Viva Intensa is bolder than the original Voce Viva scent. It has similar flavor notes but explores a twist of bourbon vanilla rather than soft, sweet vanilla.
Scent Notes
Bright floral scents meet vanilla and musk in this sexy fragrance.
It is categorized in the floral fragrance family but provides a unique twist with deep vanilla scents. Valentino Voce Viva Intensa key scent notes include bergamot, jasmine, orange blossom, and vanilla bourbon extract.
The mix of fruity and floral scents makes for a unique perfume experience. Bergamot's sweet citrusy kick offers a refreshing experience with a hint of spice.
Jasmine is a sensual, floral scent. Orange blossom is one of the more complex scents and is symbolic of fertility.
The top notes, bergamot, and mandarin accord are the introductory scents. This is the first thing that you will smell when you spray the perfume, and that will fade quicker than the other scent notes.
Once these fade, you will be greeted with fresh orange blossom and jasmine scents. The vanilla base has the most longevity and will compliment the other notes.
This fragrance is categorized as a warm floral scent. However, it does not contain strictly florals. It also includes some scents from the fresh fragrance family.
Who Would Like it
Valentina Voce Viva Intensa, with Voce Viva translating to “living voice,” acts as a declaration and is marketed to strong women.
It is sweet, bold, and feminine. Voce Viva Intensa is a reminder that feminity is both soft and powerful at the same time.
This scent is a perfect match for those on the fence between a sweet and floral scent. It is a unique blend of both parties. However, since it is stronger than the original Voce Viva scent, we do not recommend it for those seeking a lighter scent.
When and Where to Wear It
This perfume is versatile and can be worn year-round at any time of the day. Although this fragrance is bold, it is sweet and bright at the same time.
Since it is a stronger alternative in the Valentino collection, you may want to set it aside when going to the office or a meeting.
You’ll be sure to make a statement anywhere you sport this sexy fragrance. Wear it on a first date to make a bold impression or to a girls’ night on the town.
Packaging and Presentation
Although the packaging is simple, it is far from drab. Its sleek packaging offers an elegant look and has some unique details. The signature Valentino Rockstud adds some flair to the top of the bottle.
The designer notes that the brand is listed in red and is symbolic of power and romance. No aspects of this design were unintentional, and it is well-designed and classy.
The Valentino Voce Viva Intensa Eau de Parfum is available in its standard size, 1oz travel size, and Valentino Voce Viva Intensa 7mL sample size.
If you’re looking to gift a luxury scent, there are often Valentino Voce Viva Intensa gift sets available. Eau de Parfum is a highly-concentrated and long-lasting type of perfume.
Personal Impressions
This perfume is the perfect balance of bold and inviting. The earthy vanilla and moss scents mingle well with the light floral notes. The fresh citrusy aromas oppose and compliment the warm vanilla base. It is powerful but not overpowering.
It is stronger than the original Voce Viva scent but shares some of the same scent notes.
They both contain floral and citrus scents, but Voce Viva Intensa puts a bolder twist on the classic combination. Since the original was a bit underwhelming, it is nice to see a similar scent come out with more power.
Performance
Several reviewers applauded Voce Viva Intensa’s longevity and incredible sillage. Others noted its mature, balanced palate.
Pros & Cons
