iS Intense

Fragrance World iS Intense – A Blind-Buy Masterpiece That Outshines the Original I’m going to keep this short because words can’t fully capture how gorgeous Fragrance World’s iS Intense is, but I’ll try. From the very first spritz, I'm hit with a thick, syrupy black currant that feels almost edible, like a luxurious cassis liqueur. It’s bold, juicy, and unapologetically rich. Then comes the rose.... and oh my goodness, this rose. It’s not your grandma’s powdery floral, it’s deep, jammy, and perfectly balanced with the fruit, creating a regal, almost gothic elegance. What sets iS Intense apart from the OG? Longevity and depth. This beast lasts 10+ hours on my skin with moderate projection that turns heads without choking anyone out. The original fades into a skin scent too quickly... this one lingers like it’s got something to prove. Classy? Yes. Worth blind-buying? The best one I’ve made all year. Blind buy safe? 100%. Compliment magnet? Guilty. Fragrance World, please!!!! Never discontinue this. It’s not just a dupe; it’s an elevation. Will I repurchase? Already planning backups.

I've had this one in my collection for some time now. When it was new, straight out of the box, it was nice! To me, it just smelled like the original Si. I mean, straight up, 100% Si EDP. I was a little disappointed because I already own Si. I wanted the darker, warmer, more vanilla version to wear in cooler weather. After this has sat for a while, I am finally getting that darker vanilla coming through. So, you must be a little patient with this one if you want that version. If you just like Si EDP, you can definitely wear this as a great dupe for that right out of the box!
