Fervo Intenso

I've been on a quest for an Angels' Share alternative I can wear to bed, because wearing it to bed and reapplying it throughout the day has caused me to burn through a 50ml bottle in 1 1/2 months. I even bought a new 100ml bottle to stock up. I would much prefer to reserve the real thing for the daytime, and wear a close alternative to bed at night, for the sake of my pockets. On my quest for an alternative, I was recommended two fragrances by Angels' Share perfumer: Fervo Intenso, and Sand Desert at Sunset Intense. I couldn't get my hands on a sample of the latter, so I decided to test Fervo Intenso and take it from there. Given that this is not a dupe, I was skeptical it could scratch the Angels' Share itch. I sprayed this on my wrist today and was shocked by two things: both how similar this is to Angels' Share, and how beautiful the differences of this version are. Make no mistake, this is clearly inspired by Angels' Share: boozy, sweet, gourmand, warm, and, despite not being listed, with a dash of cinnamon. This fragrance also has the same beautiful, hard-to-describe glow that, to me, defines Angels' Share. I'd say the two are 60% similar. Fervo Intenso differs in a few qualities: it's chocolatey, almost musky, the sweetness is dialed back a touch, and a bit woodier. Instead of ruining the DNA, which is what I believe happened with Paradis and On the Rocks, Fervo Intenso twists the original in an inventive but satisfying and beautiful way. For $165/75ml, this is an incredible way to scratch the Angels' Share itch for a better, albeit still premium, price. Now, I'm faced with a decision: wait for samples of some actual dupes to arrive, buy a bottle of Fervo Intenso impulsively, or blind buy Sand Desert at Sunset Intense ($45) now that I know this perfumer can replicate the Angels' Share DNA accurately and beautifully. Anyway, the moral of the story is that this fragrance replicates Angels' Share enough to satisfy my love for it, while also differentiating itself enough to be original and stand on its own. This deserves a 9/10, especially if the performance holds up, which only time will tell.

Uma jóia da perfumaria nacional. Elegante, qualidade altíssima, ousado, porém equilibrado. Está na mesma família do Angels' Share e do Lattafa Khamrah, porém com um toque nacional e, na minha opinião, consideravelmente melhor do que o Khamrah. O fato dele não se propor a ser um dupe é muito beneficial, pois dá a ele uma liberdade artística que o Khamrah não tem. Ele é definitivamente semelhante ao Angels' Share, mas com um toque brasileiro, uma personalidade própria e uma qualidade de notas muito acima do que o seu preço sugere. A presença de mirra no lugar da canela e a ausência de tonka também trás uma naturalidade maior e uma doçura muito menos enjoativa. A íris também presente, porém sutil, dá uma textura e profundidade sensacionais. Talvez o melhor perfume da Granado e sem dúvidas um dos melhores perfumes já produzidos nesse país.

the most long-lasting fragrance i've tested from granado (over 5h, only really leaving my skin once I showered) is also the most intoxicating. warmly sweet and spicy, it is a deliciously non-obvious sensual winter scent. first comes the alcoholic sweet spices, then they open space for the cacao woody alcohol — i really didn't feel the fruity top notes at all, but I'm sure they work to soften all the obvious strong sweetness it could become. love it so much! I've truly become seduced by fervo intenso 🩷

Ooh, this is really nice. Smells more complex and spicy than the notes would suggest. The Cachaça note is a new one on me, too. I wish Granado would do their perfumes in small bottles individually rather than in sets as it is harder to get a small quantity without also buying soap, hand cream etc that I do not really want. Having said that, got this small bottle from Ebay which I assume came from a gift set, and it may be good enough to warrant a full bottle in the fullness of time.

Simplesmente absurdo, uma jóia da perfumaria nacional. Bem alcoólico, gourmand, sinto a cachaça e o cacau bem presentes, com um dulçor gourmand intenso e uma íris suave e redonda de fundo. Não se engane pela pirâmide olfativa, ele é bem doce apesar de não parecer. A fragrância chega a lembrar uma rabanada ou uma torta de maçã, tendo também um acorde que remete à canela. No geral, por 233 reais no site da granado (com desconto de primeira compra) é uma pechincha.
