Silver Scent Intense

This fragrance makes you wonder why people underrate some designers, or even some EDTs and EDPs. Everybody knows Cool Water from Davidoff, but just a few people know other fantastic Davidoff products like Zino Davidoff and Silver Shadow. Not a lot of people know Jacques Bogart or his perfumes. Well, if it is your case you don't know what you are missing. Now about Silver Scent Intense witch is my preferred Bogart's fragrance. It's very manly, a bit gourmand, somewhat spicy, woody and a lot Oriental. It opens kind of fresh and clean with some sweetness. By the notes we know we are getting African orange flower, Italian lemon and bitter orange. I did not notice a clear separation between the top and the heart notes. I have been bombarded with some flower (mostly lavender) and spice notes without loosing that tiny sensation of freshness with some new green notes in between with the initial notes. The scent now is really strong and lovable. Enjooooy it. It is ment for you. The bottom notes make themselves available without asking any permission. The global scent becomes even more intensive and you notice the oriental ambiance projected by this fragrance. Sweet powerful oud, tonka and fougère notes become dominant but blended with the previous notes. You can experience the harmony of the global scent evolution. The fragrance becomes really powerful and it does project immensely; you became aware of the sillage effects around you (my dog does not stay in the same room with me). After a couple of hours it still shows the same strength. You became convinced that it is going to last forever. It draws a lot of attention and certainly a lot of compliments specially by oriental frag lovers. I sprayed my forearms (2 sprays each) by midday. 12 hours later I still had an appreciable sillage around me and I should say quite intense still. 36 hours went by and I still can smell the sweet oud and tonka at skin level; In between I slept for 8 hours and took a shower. Don't use it in hot weather. All other situations are allowed. You may either love this fragrance or hate it due to its strength. Very good to read a book by the fireplace on a winter night? - YES, you may enjoy it alone. Very good for any kind of date? - NO. It will be ok for some dates if you apply it 4 hours before meeting your darling. And if your date cares only about fresh citrusy scents just dump your date and stick with the fragrance. Very good for the office? - YES if you have a private space. Is it good for open air activities? - YEEES Will you receive a lot of compliments? - YES Very good for clubbing? - YES but apply it a couple of hours before going to the club. Everyone else will be wearing it? - NO. I dare you to find someone else using this frag in your club.

After the huge success of the original version (released in 2006), the brand introduces the "grown up" version of the Silver Scent line, now with the surname Intense. It seems that it was all very fast, but it wasn't. In fact, the original version took too many time to be known around here (Brazil), when the stores began to receive requests for its availability. With the same notes of frozen lemon and orange blossom, besides the insertion of the bitter orange, the fragrance also has the same composition in its body, combining lavender, geranium, cardamom, Rosemary and coriander. The greatest change was in the base, which kept the vetiver, Teak wood and tonka bean, but included notes of Lichen (fungal MOSS) and oud (agarwood). Basically, it consists of the same DNA, just more balanced or less "vibrant". The bittersweet aspect is now more restrained, giving way to the Fruity-fougère, with a touch of oud. The projection and the lasting match with its predecessor (losing a little bit in projection). It is like if the original version was a hyperactive child and this Intense version is the same person, now more behaved. Silver Scent has grown and became a teenager, situated between two worlds: the childhood and adulthood.

I would like too add my thoughts after using this hidden gem for three days. It is really a powerful fragrance. Consider slightly less sweet and less transparent version of 1 Million. It is similiar in style, but different in scent. Instead of cinnamon, leather and spices, this one smells more like a Fanta drink mixed with detergent and it is slightly more synthetic. It is better than many other designer fragrances out there, sold for higher prices. But I dont think that it is a panty dropper or a master-piece. Just a nice fragrance with good performance. But when you consider the price tag, it deserves much more attention. IMPORTANT EDIT: I still think that SSI is not extraordinary, just a simple, synthetic, nice fragrance. But my wife considers that it is one of the most attractive scents among my 40+ fragrances (including Sauvage, Eros, 1 Million, Code Profumo, Ultra Male, etc.) Today I applied this frag (6 sprays) at 10 a.m. Around 3 p.m, a female asked the name of my fragrance. She was sitting 3-4 meters away from me at an outdoor cafe. I didn't even know that I was still smelling SSI, I believed it had already become a skin scent. I think females really love this scent, synthetic or not.

I actually came across this scent by chance, didn't know it existed until today. I see lots of people saying its a young smell, I disagree, its actually very versatile can be worn at any age in my opinion, I think people associate it with night clubs hence the only under 21 remarks, I'm 42 and I rocked it no problems, I had a white tee, khaki baggy dad pants and a black leather on, how ever I don't represent my age at all. The references I can give here are (I know this will sound ridiculous) Layton meets original Joop! It can come of somewhat chemical but I can smell some raw elements in there too, it definitely has a Euro vibe about it even though it has oud in it but its way in the back, the spices and the tonka seem to take center stage and its well blended in my opinion, but I really need more time with this, and again I'm really glad I picked it up and have it in the collection its a keeper for me and I feel like this one is heavily underrated. Also its so cheap definitely worth way more than its given price 8.5/10

Wow; this frag is beautifully loud, atomic and long-lasting. One spray and the room becomes Chaos incarnate. I smell it 24 hrs later on my skin. Unbelievable! --To wear this is to be a very arrogant, bossy, dominant man; passionate heart-breaker making no apologies. --When I first sprayed it, it took me by surprise because I felt "outmatched" on the first spritz. OMG! The best way to describe it like an alter ego that is unruly, unamused but unabashed of flower petals. Not everybody can handle this juice. The fragrance is inappropriately good with a character. It goes "BEAST MODE" on the first spray and you must take control of this wild animal (do not go over 2 sprays). Otherwise, if you decide to wear it, you better have an alter ego to match; people will be able to tell that this frag is NOT made for you. --If you are of the a baby or a Mama's boy, you should not apply this frag because it is for a man with serious CALVES and ACHILLES tendons to match; too Powerful and I LOVE it!

I'm glad I didn't give this one away. The grapes soda skittles smell was very strong and even juvenile at first. I liked the smell but didn't find it very wearable. I think it just needed to prime and bloom. About a year later and it's much more mature. Still has some grape but it's gotten creamy and buttery. Now it reminds me of some great ambery woody fougere's. Great performance. It's strong yet I feel many exaggerate this one based on a few sprays out of the box. I do 7-8 sprays, 2-3 on each arm and under the shirt. The atomizers are forgiving on these ones, comes out like half squirts. I appreciate that. I don't understand needing a fire hose. I hope to get old and have extra arthritis in my trigger finger. RECAP: Give it some time. This line is one of the best budget friendly. It's a 7.5/10 for me. But for $20 it's an easy 9.5 on the curve.

I was at Chemist Warehouse and this was one of the fragrances on the shelf - it wasn’t behind locked glass doors. The store was busy and I didn’t want to find the sales assistant who had the keys. I quickly read the reviews here, and thought “Why not?” I’ve been wearing this for a few days now, and it’s like nothing I have ever owned before. SSI has definitely taken me out of my fresh-aquatic-fougere comfort zone, and that’s a good thing. I certainly get the Grape Fanta blast on opening, but I don’t mind it. This settles down to something bold and strong, yet not overpowering (like Kouros when you’ve been heavy on the trigger). Lasts all day, and if I don’t shower before bed, I can even smell it on my pyjama shirt the next morning. I like this more than One Man Show, which I reviewed earlier this year.

I found this one from the "Fragrances with Lex" YouTube channel. Wonderful cheapie, very unique. With this one I get delicious synthetic grape that isn't too sweet, and a strangely pleasant synthetic oud, almost animalic body odor smell in the background (but in a good way if that makes sense). This fragrance performs like a beast, making it strong enough to wear in cold weather but fresh enough to pull off in the heat. Very versatile scent, can wear it except maybe in a formal setting. I can see a few people being turned off by the synthetic nature of the fragrance, but I love it. Performance: 9/10. Monster projection ad longevity. Will last you most of the day. Scent: 8.5/10. Very unique grape/oud/woods scent that grows on you the more you wear it. Versatile and good for all seasons.

I own Silver Scent, Silver Scent Deep, and Silver Scent Intense. Based on my own experience, the Intense version is basically pretty much the same like the OG Silver Scent, only like the name, it is more intense, richer, and a bit spicier. Performance is also even greater then the OG. In simple way: AGE: SS is for 25 and under SS Intense is for 28 and up OCCASION SS is more casual, non formal, and day time. SS Intense is more mature, semi-formal, and best for night time. Out of the 3 I own, SS Deep is my personal favorit because it has more character, it’s the most unique, specially the dry down that combines Hazelnut and Vanilla. It’s mature without having old vibe. Same versatiliy like the Intense version but cooler personality. SS 7.5/10 SS Intense 7.75/10 SS Deep 8/10

This one, my friends, is an absolute BEAST!! Seriously one of the best out there, the smell is so fresh and sweet and fruity, yet also manly, but then again also versatile that it could almost be unisex. It opens up like grape bubblegum, I have visions of purple at first and then it dries down to something warm, sweet and comfortable. For the price, this is sensational value, the longevity and projection is insane, I can still smell it on my jacket days later. Wear this if you want to make a statement, if you want people to pay attention, or if you want to leave an impression. I’ve never had more compliments than when I’m wearing this, colleagues, a lover and a lady on the bus, all in 1 day. A true winner. I love it.

This is a beast of a frag, but it took me a little while to appreciate the smell and strength of this wonderful juice. If I had to make a comparison, I would say that it smells like A+F fierce or Mont bland legend, with that dirty orange smell with vanilla, except this has lots of oud. If anybody is on a fragrance journey, and would like to really get their nose on some oud, then this is your guy. You won't have any problems with longevity or sillage either, this stuff just goes on forever. I also really like the bottle and sprayer,,it's very classy, sort of an art deco look. Overall I would score this an 9 out of 10,,the more you wear it, the more you'll grow to love it..

I was looking for the perfumes with oud as one of component.I found many scent with oud but it always were the quite expensive products , not very available and often from niche perfumery.And I met Silver Scent Intense by chance...The price wasn't high( "better quality-higher price" I was thinking) but I had the feeling to buy it ...and I hit the bull's-eye!I've never used the normal Silver Scent but Intense version is terrific and uncanny! It has something unusual when you smell it....its sweet but not sugary -I would say: "fresh sweetness". It's masculine , noble and really sexy -but not tawdry. Longevity and projection -superb. For me it's real masterpiece 10/10.

I suggest 2 sprays to the back of the neck and keep it away from your neck and I also avoid under the ears.. It's that strong, 4 hours in, you don't want to be smelling yourself. Keep it on the back of your neck and you'll be fine. 2 sprays.. never go over 2 sprays. It's actually pretty decent in cold mornings or cold nights when it's dropping below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do wear this during a hot season, i'd recommend you block the spray with a piece of paper as you apply to only acheive a half spray to yourself, it might be ok as a summer scent at a half spray, but that's just too much effort, go for something fresher that needs 4-6 sprays in the summer.

This is something beyond love for me and I can't get all negative comments,it smells strong,warm,sweet,pleasent and I love my man to smell like this I actually don't like the first version and I believe that one was sharp,too much fruity(in a syntethic way) and stronger,but intense version is all about a warm,cozy tonka dominated scent that wrapes you with comfort and also has great longevity and sillage too,I can't detect much oud,most dominant notes are tonka,orange flower,lavender,citruses and a hint of fruits and woody notes Just use it during cold seasons and only two sprays is enough Good for men who prefer sweet and strong fragrances

Wow this is one master piece, this is unlike any other I have smelt, longevity and sillage is great and the fragrance is simply fresh and sophisticated.....I love this fragrance for its uniqueness. Moreover, this is Oud based scent with a touch of coriander and a balanced dose of lavender; somehow I do feel a touch of Amber or Mint, I don't know exactly what it is, as that ingredient gives it its required freshness, which makes it even more unique. I would definitely say try it atleast....This is going to be a permanent fragrance in my collection a must have for me for its sophistication and awesome fragrance!

This is a great juice, sweet but masculine. The Intense version is rounder than the OG, not necessarily a better performer or more intense than it. It does smells better to my nose and that's why I picked it up. It should be a no-brainer for the price (less than 20 bucks). Bear in mind this is a Woody Ambery Fougere (with Oriental spices complementing it). The floral part is not very accentuated, flower notes are background, rounding the other notes. "Grape soda" is there, it's part of the DNA, but it's not as grapesoda as the OG (with extra lychee note that exacerbates that "grapeness").

finally got my hands on this NUCLEAR BEAST....man i love it....i love the original and pure&deep version as well..only the blue one missing.so this is for youngsters in my opinion to all men out there who love a beast mode cheapie but GOODIE...its like grape soda feel with vanilla and loads of bubblegum sweetness.its prolly for cold weather but it will perform any time in the year....in hotter months avoid using it on skin...go on shirt max one and half spray....its the strongest of the line and you will need 10 years to finish this bottle 10/10 for smell,lasting and value

I get the grape soda in the opening, which makes place pretty quickly for a lovely clean laundry-esque orange blossom with a hint of citrus. Normally I'm not into fragrances that feature white florals, but this is addictive! The aromatics and woods are a bit more towards the background. This is orange blossom front and center. Performance is very good, especially for the price. Jacques Bogart does not miss! 9/10. Edit: I've worn this a few more times and I am absolutely obsessed with it, upgraded rating to 10/10. My wife adores this scent too and likes to wear it herself.

This is a loud scent at first, but that's because it's made to last, if cry babies hate the initial smell then they can go play with their aqua di gio's. The dry down lasts forever, and that's a great thing if that's what you're looking for, for your day. If you don't feel like smelling this all day or don't want a long lasting scent then don't use this. If you do, then great.. After 4 hours, this really shines and the dry down is beautiful. 1 spray is good.. 2 spays on extra cold days. Don't go over 2 spays. Do not go over 2 sprays.

To my nose, this one reminds me a lot of the Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label. I guess it must be the lavender/cardamom/citrusy combination... This is one of the cheapest fragrances in my collection, however, here in France, where people seldom give compliments on such things, Silver Scent Intense is a compliment beast! Everyone always asks me what I am wearing. Sometimes I layer it with Emporio Armani Diamonds Black Carat... that gets even more compliments! just go very easy on the spray, this is seriously potent!
