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

Warm, sensual and deep, the first spray of Intense is intoxicating for me. I smell the rose notes, the spices and a deep, salty musk. Mmm, sexy. The green notes lift off the skin after the first ten or fifteen minutes, brightening the scent, while the saltiness of the musk gives it a slightly oceanic feel. In the dry down, the vanilla and musk layer in warmth, and the patchouli and sandalwood give the scent an earthy, woody accord that's comforting and clean. What a deliciously balanced blend of base notes. Intense is a fantastic perfume. This could easily become one of my favorites. After just one test, I'm already longing for a full bottle.

Spices, orange blossom and warm amber... Exceptionally sensual, sexy and seductive. I get tons of compliments when wearing it. I prefer to wear it in winter, although wearing it at summer evenings will be equally acceptable. Intense is the only Hugo Boss fragrance I have tried so far. Intense has great quality in terms of both, staying power and silage. I only have to reapply every 6-7 hours which is quite acceptable. Intense will superbly coordinate sexy lingerie - it gets my man purrrring. In my opinion, this is the very idea of a sexual fragrance, deserving the ''Sexual'' name far better than Michel Germain's signature fragrance.

What a description, LisaMari) I think I have something to add then "In the middle of New York's Times Square a white-clad girl clutches her purse and skirt as an uninhibited sailor plants his lips squarely on hers." That famous over the globe Kiss. The Kiss. Where girl's vanilla/rose lipstick smell is paired with sandal-smell from the lips of that sailor. its HOT. That's why there are spices in Hugo. Boss. Intense

I LOVE THIS SCENT ! It's a veeeery "oriental" , deep , sexy and s musky scent . A night-time perfume that makes everyone curious about what scent you're wearing . It's not very "well-known" and I THINK IT'S GOOD , so you can still feel a bit unique when you wear it . I used to wear it a lot back in 2003-2004 but now I'm getting back to it again . Beaaaautiful , good job H.Boss !

My All-Time Favorite Perfume! It was one of the sexiest scents of all time! I had Hugo Boss Intense gift set when i was only 16 years old(some think it was a heavy perfume for a teenage girl) but even at that time it matched me perfectly! The body lotion was also the sexiest thing my skin have ever felt. So sad i can't have it anymore. Intense, i miss you!

dark, sophisticated, sexy, alluring, dominant - yup, this is was my signature scent for a while. it is definitely for the fall/winter season and for nights out. lasts long and is not overbearing at all. on me, it smells like vanilla and amber with some sandalwood and very, very faint musk. gorgeous! intense is a little sweet, spicy and a little woody.

This was the fragrance that started me off on my fragrance obsession. I got a half bottle while working in a charity shop (goodwill/thrift store). I knew nothing about fragrances but I smelled this and fell in love, I wanted to get a full bottle to find out it's discontinued! If anyone can recommend anything even close to this please let me know

I absolutely love this perfume. I don't wear any other kind. I'm not one for perfume and don't like the smells of most, but this stuff.......oh it's heavenly. Everyone I have introduced this to says it smells amazing. My husband loves when I wear it. Only thing that kinda sucks, is the price. I do wish it was a little bit cheaper.

one of my very favourites. Had this scent as part of my wardrobe since it was launched - love at first smell. I wear it for nights out and I have had quite a few compliments when wearing it. Been told I smell gorgeous. I wear it if I'm feeling daring and sexy as the red bottle suits my fiesty mood. Long live this fragrance.

Definitely a sensual scent. Reminds me of friends and fun and love. Attention catcher, something you'd wear on a date just because it leaves you feeling strong, sexy and confident. I keep buying this though I tend to use it less nowadays only for special occasions. I just cant see it being used during the day.

This was my first blind buy and it went great. It was really intense, I can't remember anything stronger than this one. One day I went to store where my friend works and she said to me: all room is filled with your perfume. Too bad I can't find it anymore. Smell was divine, romantic, playful.

One of my favorites from Hugo Boss, like Deep red, this sweet and dark. I just love it. What I can smell the most is vanilla what I love. There is hint of rose too and amber make it so warm. I use it winter and autumn. It last my skin about 6 hours. Highly recommend!

I miss this perfume - a lot. I'm so sad it's gone. I have a small amount in a bottle, which I won't use. Its amazing and it suits me. Went through at least 6 bottles. Its now selling for up to £150 for half used bottles on ebay. I wish they'd bring it back.

tis is my best friends signature frag,on her smell gorgeous and sporty too yes sporty but in a good way like she is an elegant sporty women !its smell wonderful expensive and varm spice, actualy i love all hugo boss perfume but tis one its divine!!

Sexy scent, strong, a little bit masculine, but with hint of deep sweetness. Long lasting, had a lot of compliments every time i wore it. Fragrance for evening with lover, very seductive scent. Black and red are perfect colors for this one.
