Carbon

Honestly can't get enough of this stuff. It's almost like an aquatic leather if that was thing due to the uber sweet violet and a touch of spice. Reminds me a LOT of CH Men Prive only fresher and not as heavy on the tonka. Performance is GOOD borderline great thanks to the generous atomizer, and it even has a touch of greenness (grass?) in the mid. If you're someone who started their collection in the mid-to-late 2000s like me, this stuff will take you straight back to last decade. Just don't expect an outright leather because it's not that. In fact it's more like a dash of cigarette ash floating in sugar water. Not exactly woody, but definitely smooth. I'd personally place it as a sweet-spicy, but the spice is done just right. Incredibly addictive, and even somewhat elegant. Moreover, despite the bottle being shaped like BdC, I would take this fragrance over the Chanel every time. No magnetic cap, but it does click WELL into place so you can easily grab it by the cap. Out of the entire line, this one and Hydrogen are hands down my favourites, despite all of them being...well, "inspirations." And since the original CH Men is technically still available...it might be a toss up for most. Still, it's gets the thumbs up from me.

I’ve had this fragrance for a little over 2 years now, I’ve been a big enjoyer of Intelligent since its founded by Derek from MPMD and i’ve kept up with him for a long time. With that being said trying to be as unbiased as possible it’s a very inoffensive, masculine, soft/powdery while still being noticeable and attention grabbing. Since purchasing it has remained a great sleeper piece in my collection, I won’t lie I really don’t reach much for it anymore but after wearing it today I thought i’d come here after reminding myself of this gem. I wore the bell out of it the first few months then slowly got away from it, but it lasts a solid 5-6 hours then skin after that. I do quite recommend this as it’s fairly inexpensive as well (80$ when I bought it) especially if you can get it on discount from their websites which they run quite frequently throughout the seasons. All-season versatile powdery/masculine confidence inducing scent that honestly 99% will find pleasing.

This would be a 10/10 scent if it just lasted longer. I only get 2 hours. I see it is based off of ch men which apparently doesn't last long. I've never tried that scent personally, but Carbon is so good. I would wait for a sale on this one before picking it up. I usually don't like powdery scents, but this one is just clean and pleasant unlike Silver which I think is overly powdery and nauseating.

Very masculine. The woody notes are so good and it gives a really unique twist I haven't gotten from another fragrance

The dry down reminds me of Ralph's Club New York, minus the fruity sweetness and vanilla. It's that fragrance, but for men that are 35+ old lol
