Apparition Homme Intense

Well, is it just me who thinks that this one is very, very similar to David Beckham's Signature Story? The first time I tried DB Signature St it smelled to me like something familiar. Then I came home and smelled all my perfumes and found out that Ungaro Intense smells very close to DB. Well, Beckham has this note of coconut, and is a little bit more aggressive, but in general they do really smell very identically.

I like it, I was looking for a citrus and or asian style cent that DID NOT have bergamot. I like the opening which is a citrus tea smell ruled by Rhubarb but doesnt over power or linger too long followed by spicy and vanilla notes ruled by Amber. Amber at least to me seems to be the ruling smell followed by everything else but they all merge well.

Very underrated scent. Yes. It's not strong, but classy. And lasts about 8-10 hours on my skin. It was blind buy, and one of my best. Red pearl in my collection.

Very under the radar oriental fougere that is versatile and highly wearable. The rhubarb, vanilla, amber, licorice and anise are sweet but blended delicately into a warm, pleasant blend of what can best be described as a Valentine's Day gift basket lying next to a warm cup of vanilla chai latte and a strawberry rhubarb pie. This is warming and gentle on the wearer and highly reliable as a performer for winter and early spring days and evenings. A very underrated creation by Olivier Polge that is inoffensive, warming and emits a very positive, uplifting vibe.

I found this at TJ Maxx for 3 bucks. It's not one of my favorites, and I probably wouldn't purchase again, but it's decent. I've worn this out on the town and to work, and it has brought me compliments.

Its hard to describe. You definitely get the mandarin orange at the beginning. It's not bad, not memorable either.

This one is rather strange, and though I may have thought it wearable when I first acquired a bottle, there was a time when I didn't like it at all. Trying it again, probably a few years or more later, I can see why there was a time when I disliked it. At the beginning there is a blast of something sharp, metallic, and "synthetic"-smelling, which is suggestive of wood (I can't think of anything else). However, that doesn't last too long and that woodiness is not dominant for the drydown. Another strange thing is that the notes are quite tight but not outright "sticky-synthetic." I don't see this one as "aficionado material" because there is nothing unique about it, nor is there excellent dynamism, complexity, or naturalness. Ciel, Mon Jardin! does a better job with this kind of idea, for example. However, the overall blend is somewhat pleasant when you get to the drydown, though I can't envision myself being enthusiastic about wearing it, especially considering my alternatives (which include Slatkin's Absinthe, for instance).

I'm not much thrilled by Apparition, but the much richer Apparition Intense I really like a lot. To answer Alexkos below, it's not just him. When I tried Beckham's Signature Story a month ago, the opening did remind me strongly of Apparition Intense. However, during the rest of the test on my wrist the similarity did not last, as Apparition Intense maintains that magical odor for ages, but Signature Story didn't. Regards, Renato

This launches sweet and faintly citric, and it's nature is busy... but that aspect is short lived. Eventually it breaks down to something of a Floriental for men, until the anise and vanilla begin to stimulate. The Apparition Intense version is a stir of warmth and romance. I absorb this as esoteric and mysterious. Sure to serve the fall and winter seasons, whereas the original was constructed for the warmer weather.

Not too murky, not too sporty but somewhere in between. Wood and amber and somehow the feeling of leather and vetiver. It's definitely a masculine fragrance, so I guess I don't get to wear it for myself, but I'd love to smell it on my husband. A very nice scent, without being a huge statement maker. Sometimes you just want to smell nice.

A former colleague commented that this smelled similar to nag champa, and I have to agree. Overall, not a star, especially in the "rouge" vein of scent, but its good longevity and pleasing enough incense-like note throughout keeps it in rotation for me.

INTENSE it is NOT! if you think this is a sillage or longevity monster, you're wrong. You have to apply generously in order to sense/smell something, yet it's still not projecting anything.

Obviously for the night. A very romantic fragance with the enigmatic factor of Ungaro, awesome opening and long lasting. Strange, mysterious and singular fragance¡

Nice fruity-spicy-oriental scent. Maybe for those who think Xeryus Rouge is maybe too serious and want some of it, but with a new twist.

i have this one but im not crazy about it, i rather vanillas, gourmands or sweets, anyone want to trade? 98% FULL 1.7 oz

Lolita Lempicka EDT for women + spice notes. Not so strong as commented. A little bit feminine but wearable by men.

LOVE.... I wish I could still get a bottle! I had so many compliments when I wore it.
