MK High Intensity

It's finally arrived...and it was worth the wait, for sure!! MKHI is my first Mary Kay fragrance and I think it is a winner...more aromatic than cK Free and not as dry and flowery as Bvlgari PH. For an Eau du Cologne this is actually quite strong, in my opinion. It is very rich. It opens subtly sweet and has a fresh facet, but is so much more than that. Caraway and cloves give it a warm smooth spiciness and the tea and clary sage keep it clear and smooth with an edge of sharpness. The violet leaves are a nice rounding influence on the scent as a whole. Coffee, with it's gourmand quality, adds a depth and an almost sexy allure. Smooth is too simple a word to describe this fragrance; it is more like an elegant, nicely tailored crushed velvet blazer: simple in design but very chic. It has a quiet finish due to the soft suede note, but overall it is a smooth, warm and very distinct scent. Very, very well done. I have a new respect for Mary Kay, and her scents... Sillage: quite good (for an EDC) Longevity: good Overall: 4.25/5 I am very glad to have this, now, in my collection; and look forward to trying some other mens scents from MK. Domain, perhaps? This is very nice for winter as it is slightly spicy and warm, but is not overly strong or super sweet like a Mugler or Gaultier. It is just enough to make an impression, but not steal the spotlight from you...it adds to your aura, instead of defining it.

I smelled this on someone and was blown away. This scent single handedly brought me down the rabbit hole of fragrance addiction. And it still remains my favorite of all the many bottles I own. It has an almost powdery sweet woody smell to it. For some reason it reminds me of the smell you get when you walk into the wood section of Home Depot. It doesn't last an incredible amount of time but it's good enough. And although discontinued, it's still available for quite cheap. If you love Mont Blanc Individual I believe you will also love this fragrance.

9 years ago I've got a bottle of this one, i can't barely recall what this smells like, but as long as i can remember is a lovely, nice and warming scent. Since it's presentation is a good experience: minimalist, behaved and sober. Somehow i felt inspired to start out a perfume collection because of this one, previously i intend to get together the bottles i've ever had for a 2nd time, unfortunatelly for now it's way hard to find It thou', this gem is no longer available, not at least here in Brasil. :(

Lovely fresh clean fragrance. The fennel and violet leaf combine very well to give a sweet fresh aroma that imo is natural, all season suitable and versatile for any occasion. Longevity is fairly low on my skin at around 3 hours but can be forgiven as this is an eau de cologne. The more I try of them, the more I'm impressed with Mary Kay fragrances. It's not quite the equal of the very impressive MK Tribute For Men but it's not too far behind. Recommended.

This is a "Bargain Basement" gem! A darker take on black tea and amber along with a soft spice slant to it. Still though I plan on using on a summer day, great projection and sillage. Shades of Chanel's Allure come to mind though there is no cinnamon listed here. You won't come across Mary Kay's High Intensity for men in many places for sale or being worn so you got yourself something different and unique. I get no woodiness from this.
