Dazzle Intense

I ordered this last week and it arrived yesterday - after the typical woah first spray I tried it again today and I absolutely love it. I'm non binary and always on the look out for unisex scents. The plum shows through and is quite strong, but it settled into a lovely fruity vanilla spicey scent. This is Intense. With a capital I. But I really like it. Definitely a cooler weather pick.

Not sure how I am. The first to review this as fragboy stewie reviews this a long time ago. It's a good one. Def a unisex that leans toward the feminine. Plum and vanilla dominate as smell soooo good. Lasts a good long time on my skin.

Good to see that this is finally on Fragrantica. I initially learned of Al Haramain Dazzle Intense a couple of years ago when YouTuber FragBoy Stewie highlighted it in a list of great budget perfumes, and after blind-buying it myself on the then-active US Notino site at the time, I've been singing its praises ever since, not because it's superlative, but because it's an obscenely rich and interesting fragrance for the price. It's dominated by plum, with hints of vanilla, citruses, patchouli, musk, and a vague floral vibe, though orange blossom is the only floral note I've heard associated with the fragrance. The experience is one of plum first and foremost, followed by vanilla, and then a sort of white- and yellow-floral mix. It leans gourmand without being wholly gourmand. Likewise, it feels floral without being inarguably a floral fragrance. One might more ready identify this primarily by the plum and vanilla only. Its performance is robust, well above average as far as both projection and longevity, and more than sufficient for an all-day cold weather sort of fragrance. I might opt to wear it on a summer evening but it's primarily a fragrance that works better in cooler weather, at least for me. For me, it's a like, not a love, overall, but it's a strong offering and merits inclusion in any list highlighting great perfumes that are also great deals. Currently its standard (only?) 90ml bottle size is available on both FragranceNet and FragranceX for just under $30, roughly the price I paid for it on Notino some years back, though the price, of course, fluctuates with stock on the discounter sites. 7 out of 10

I'm looking for a good plum and this is. Here the plum is in the lead, the note is easily recognizable. The scent is sweet but not exhausting. Elemi gives this a good, strong peppery kick that turns that feminine sweetness to the masculine side and the beautiful combination of vanilla and praline brings it back again and again ... a fascinating unisex scent. Not genderless, but rather multi-gendered, if you can say that. This is quality stuff, I recommend.

Beautiful Plum sweetness! Longevity 9/10!
