New York Intense

Longer-lasting, smooth, and superb smelling. This is beautiful! It is forceful, enticing, and sweet. I adore it for winter, night, and adults just since it is a masterpiece! incredibly rich, dense woods. A sharp, manly musky woodsy opening—perhaps a soft papyrus—is followed by a highly unisex spicy resinous woodsy explosion. The notes that stand out to me the most are the musk opening, guiac wood, patch, labdanum, and gentle cinnamon, clove, and cedar. Fresh, fruity, and citrusy notes dominate this scent, which abruptly screeches to a halt as olibanum and guaiac wood present and proclaim their presence. Outstanding!!!

Probably the most artistic perfume in my collection. It has some metamorphic chameleon like qualities. It's pungent oud in the opening quickly transitioning to fresh green. Very very nice fragrance. It was a blind buy and what a nice surprise. Longevity is very good on clothes lasting for days. Although I think it needs the warmth of the skin to develop. Box and presentation are the most special I've seen by far. Outdoing the amazing Nishane presentations. Outside of the box is black and velvety. Opening to reveal a jewel inside. I am as pleased as one can be.

This is stunning! It's sweet, enticing, and forceful. With its incredible projection and silage, Lonegvity is simply right. It begins with a piercing, male musky woodsy opening, perhaps reminiscent of soft papyrus, but quickly transforms into a highly unisex spicy resinous woodsy explosion. The natural oud adds a little animalic note in the middle. It is a masterpiece, and I really enjoy it during the winter and on cold nights. woods that are powerful and luscious!

All Jubilation XXV on my end. Performance is just as piss-poor as the current batches of Jubilation. FWIW, this is €275 vs. the Amouage is now €345. Amouage runs zero promo, FDB has offered 10% and 15% off in the last year so the relative pricing might go even more in FDB's favor. But man... how do you build a scent with this profile and it can't even manage 8 hours. Need to coat myself with this to actually smell it, like 20 sprays.

Super intense, luxurious woods. Starts off with a piercing, masculine musky woodsy opening, maybe a soft papyrus, but turns into a very unisex spicy resinous woodsy bomb. Strangely I'm not getting myrrh or berries, nor any oud, to me the most prominent notes are: Musky opening, guiac wood, labdanum, patch, and soft cinnamon / clove / cedar. 10/10 from FdB, my favourite one of the line so far.

Peter writing essays like he’s a purfumer smdh. Bro said it lacks opulence and I quote “oomph” smdh. I have this and he’s completely wrong. He either has a fake or his home stinks. Blind buy safe and worth every penny. Don’t listen to these negative people who judge fragrances off price. This and most others from FDB are for a particular crowd. 10 out of 10.

Oh my good God! This is exquisite! Haute perfumerie! It is sweet, it is seductive, powerful. I'm a woman and I rock this in special occasions. It makes me feel like I'm a cinema superstar such as Liz Taylor or Vivian Leigh... I don't care if it is similar to amouage or xerjoff fragrances. It is a masterpiece and I love it for winter, night, adults only!

Amazingly sophisticated and regal (and slightly oriental) fragrance profile. Very similar to Amouage’s Jubilation XXV, but for me, lower in performance vs the former. Worth a try. This is office safe and versatile for those looking for a subtle, yet a great fragrance. I will let this macerate and see how it goes. Shukran Habibi!

You use a lot of this from the bottle, and one day you put water over the rest, so you can get out of this combination Jubilation XXV. I am using them both right now, on my arms. If I have this, I don't need no more Jubilation, with the magnetic cap.

Do you want a better version of jub25? If so get this. Main difference, more woods, Less fruitiness. Slightly animalic from the natural oud in the mid for about 30 mins. Outstanding!!!

Probably my favourite from FDB. I own quite a few fragrances but I find myself reaching for this quite often and it always gets compliments.

So glad to have this in my collection. Yes, it is very similar to Jubilation xxv. Smells of gentlemanly sophistication personified.

I love the sheer elegance, quality, and sophistication of this. It’s complex and masterfully understated. Such a masterpiece.

My review is based on a sample only. Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense is supposedly, according to some reviewers online, a more upscale and upgraded clone or version of the famed Amouage Jubilation XXV Man that I haven't put my nose on yet. In essence, I'd describe Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense as a nondescript, extremely weak, faint, and subtle-smelling, overly sweet chocolate-cinnamon-oud-flavored chewing gum—more or less. I guess another apt description of this fragrance would be that it has a sweet and woodsy chocolate-cinnamon-oud scent profile. If this is an "upgraded" version of the supposedly "regal", "royal" or "bigger-than-life" Amouage Jubilation XXV Man, then I really don't know what to make of it. New York Intense by Fragrance Du Bois is no doubt a mass appeal-smelling fragrance that I'm sure will garner people's attention and appreciation, but this isn't something I'd personally wear. It lacks opulence, luxury, oomph, and complexity. Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense is a nondescript, safe, subtle, refined, boring, dull, generic-smelling, overpriced designer fragrance marketed as a niche fragrance with mass appeal but no apparent artistic uniqueness, personality, luxury, opulence, or complexity of its own. I'd say this is a fairly versatile fragrance that can be worn day and night for spring, fall, and winter. Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense is, in my opinion, a unisex fragrance, but probably a bit more masculine-leaning. It leans more formal than informal, but you could probably wear it on a daily basis as well. Sillage and projection are basically non-existent. The longevity is probably 1-2 hours on my skin. Yes, Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense smells quite nice, and I'm sure most people won't feel particularly offended by it, but in all honesty, it's not anything special. From the point of view of craftsmanship, uniqueness, and artistic uniqueness, there are many designer and niche brands that can offer you superior fragrances at only a fraction of the cost. I'm glad I purchased a sample of it. This is not full-bottle worthy, in my opinion. Final score: 7/10.

Dear Worldlin, No one's experience in perfumery is "right" or "wrong" but merely different, personal, and subjective. Neither your nor my perception of perfumery is an absolute objective truthful fact written in stone. It's just a different experience. We have a different sense of smell and different skin chemistry. I got a free sample of Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense. Maybe the sample was off, and maybe it was in perfect condition; I don't know, but I wasn't the slightest bit impressed with it—deal with it, and don't take it personally as if it were some sort of attack on your ego. I've read your reviews, and they maintain a deplorably low level of writing skills or analysis. Your other reviews are usually as gross and crude as your attack on me. What truly "stinks" here is your lack of common sense, civility, and tolerance. Thank you for respecting people's freedom of thought, opinion, and speech here on Fragrantica. Sincerely, Peter the Fragrance Lover

a spicy woody composition, subtly sweetened with honey. The opening carries a light fruity accord, yet the blend is so seamless that it’s difficult to pick out individual notes, everything flows together into a smooth, cohesive scent. Myrrh takes centre stage, wrapped in woody nuances with a gentle hint of oud. It brings to mind worn leather armchairs in a traditional gentlemen’s club, where the air is thick with spices, resins, and the warmth of polished wood. At times, it recalls a winter evening by the fireplace, the flames slowly consuming the logs while a faint sweetness of a honeyed drink lingers in the background. This is not a fragrance that shouts, it tells its story in a quiet, understated voice. Longevity is around six hours, with moderate projection. Despite its name, it isn’t particularly intense, rather refined and understated, like a well tailored coat.

What a surprising little scent! I got myself a decant, and in the first second after application, this perfume is very fresh and fruity and citrussy, and then sharply screeches to a halt, with guaiac wood and olibanum definitely presenting and asserting themselves. In the first half hour, an incense smell that is green at the same time, almost piny, is obvious and a flowery smell distinctly comes through. The oud is slightly noticeable but not at all overpowering, but the scent itself is very powerful with wood, resin and slightly-sweet scents being in the foreground, and a flowery freshness lingering in the back. I like it, although it would probably not make it to my favourites. Would I buy it? Definitely not for this price. ADDENDUM: It's been 24 hours since I applied the perfume, and it's STILL noticeably present.

This is a gorgeous scent. It feels like the house of FDB. Everything is pure, complex, nuanced, well balanced. The blackberry and orange notes are fragrant but not overly sweet - so refined. The oud in this is excellent, pure and strong but not overpowering or excessive. Very impressed by this oud! This doesn’t evoke NYC for me at all, but I really don’t care. I see why people think it might lean more masculine - I am male and would wear it. However, I think this could be stunning on a woman in her late 20s or early 30s - confident and very sexy. It’s somehow elegant and edgy. Really beautiful. The sillage is not very wide, which is what I’ve come to expect with the FDB lines. But the purity and mastery of craft are obvious here. I would wear this anytime. Love.

This smells pretty much like Jubilation XXV, as everyone has already said. Yes there are differences, but they are so close this pretty much feel like a clone, which I don't really agree with. I'll stick to the cheaper and original Amouage thank you.
