Boss Intense

I remembered liking it a few years back so I bought it without testing again last summer. I was a bit disappointed back then - it seemed too heavy and headache inducing. I even forgot about it for a while, but when the first cold days of fall arrived I had this amazing idea to try wearing it again. It works wonderful in cold weather! Now it's one of my favorite perfume choices from October to February. In the opening I can smell intense oriental spices and a soapy orange blossom note. Vanilla is also prominent and I get the rose, too, but it's a very subtle and smooth rose, not overpowering. What I really love is the oriental base made up of amber, musk, patchouli and sandalwood - pure perfection. This is a very sexy scent, just like everybody else said before me. It's warm and cozy, but also sensual and a true confidence booster. What I really love about it is the fact that it could easily be a unisex fragrance. A man who can pull off wearing this would be insanely attractive to me!

Dear Intense, When I joined Fragrantica I had smelled a single-digit number of fragrances in my life, and you were one of them. Not just one of them, you were my signature. Now, three months later, after smelling 240 other perfumes, I can conclude that there is nobody quite like you out there. If there is, your replacement still eludes me. Sure, my perception of you has changed as I have subjected my nose to so many different compositions by now. I can more clearly tell what you are made of, a feat which was unthinkable when I first got you all those years ago. I don't see you being as harsh anymore, knowing what nose-burning spices and citruses are out there. I don't find you as sweet either, after trying countless saccharine gourmands. One thing remains the same though. You are, and will always be my true signature. Your discontinuation breaks my heart.

Oh, I miss this perfume so much. A few years ago I managed to get my hands on 15ml decant and have savoured it for years. Spicy, warm, a little powdery but not in an old fashioned way. The patchouli is lovely, sweet & earthy. It’s such a beautiful scent, so unique. I’ve managed to find a shop that has a dupe, so I ordered it, reviews of it on their website seem good. I’ll update when it gets here. I have about 5ml of the original left so I can do a side by side comparison. *edited: tried the dupe (black point perfumes) it’s very very similar. BP version is lighter but very long lasting, lasts on my skin for at least 5 hours and on clothes until the next day. It has the same scent just a little lighter, not as deep and rich. It’s very good though!

My mom bought teenage goth me this for Christmas when it had just come out. I don't think a lot of moms would buy such a dark and sexy perfume for a 13-year-old, but am I ever glad she did! This scent has stayed with me ever since and it is the ONLY fragrance I have ever repurchased. "Intense" is a fitting name. Intense, but never harsh. Spicy and slightly sweet, sensual, warm, mysterious and intoxicating. A first spritz gives me top notes of melon (which I seem to be rather alone in saying), the drydown is an irresistible rosy blend of cinnamon, pepper, white flowers, vanilla, patchouli and what I can only describe as magic. Not for everyone, but highly recommended.

Why people comment that it is "heavy or sexy"? Or for winter or for evening.... Maybe "one of those things")) To me its great all year round, all day round, not heavy(at least my beloved "Poeme", "Shalimar" and "Organza" much "heavier") It is happy feminine smell for all ages, which goes well with any other aroma on the top, on me - warm spicy amber and delicious hint of berries, sandalwood, a bit of orange zest - great for office on my opinion as you feel relaxed, organised and confident in it. Also it reminds me smell of old times luxury lipsticks ingredients blended really well, where one note noticed but not overpowering another one. Going to get it again
