Fame Intense

fame absolutely got my whole heart since last summer, and this year it genuinely became one of my favourite ever smells, so obsessed with it!! 2 days ago i got a tester (5ml) and i just can't stop smelling it, it's so luscious and bright and beautiful and tasty, absolutely deserves every single lovely word. the vibe that its giving me while wearing it on my skin is an salty sandalwood incense burning next to the plate with a fresh ripe mango and some vanilla sticks on top for decorations that rich lonely auntie in her late 30s would have for a breakfast before taking you to go shopping at the most expensive designer stores, and she definitely would smell exactly like that. i really wish longevity was just slightly longer, but it lasted its honourable 6-7 hours with an end of intimate sillage while i was at work which located on a street and requires a lot of moves in early summer weather (27+ degrees by celsius) so i'm really pleased with smelling it on myself even after some environment that probably isn't good for any perfume to stay on skin for a really long time. altogether i wanna say again how simple but beautiful it is and that one day i hope to make real my dream of owning 80ml bottle of it!

I received a sample of this while purchasing another perfume. I quickly fell in love with it and after wearing it for a few days I decided to purchase it, becoming my most expensive perfume that I bought myself. Before buying it I tried out the original fame and I don't know why it felt so weird to me with the mango note? Maybe my mood or the season wasn't right for it. I really didn't understand the low score of the Intense. To me it's such a beautiful, balanced scent, the incense note is so subtle and adds depth and (as stupid as it sounds) some "mysteriousness". The sandalwood and jasmine on the other hand adds a creamy quality. Love it so much, definitely my favourite of the Fame line and I got some compliments from my friends (from whom, funnily enough, it was described as "coconuty and tropical") and family. Bit curious how it'll wear in the spring and summer though as I adored it in winter, so far I've only worn it in a single spring (a bit chilly) night and it was still good.

STUNNING CREAMY TROPICAL Oh boy is this so gorgeous, a very lush, creamiest of creamy coconut jasmine tropical perfumes, intoxicating and it's blended to perfection - the hint of incense is mesmerising It seriously smells like it could be £300 a bottle, it's THAT good. I often layer this over ALIEN BODY CREAM, it is a perfect combination and if you own Mancera "Intense Crush" spray some of that onto your clothes whilst wearing this intoxicating mix. This is not for Winter... this needs the heat, above 20 degrees and humidity - it gets humid in the UK during summer and oh lala it just keeps getting more intense as the temperature rises. Wave after wave of intoxicating beauty, it's distracting, it's transporting me to lush tropical shores... it's just gorgeous.

Definitely different than the notes listed. Came off very “cologney” when I first sprayed but softened within a few minutes. As it dried it continued to get softer and I was getting a really strong coconut note that kept it smelling very feminine. Definitely a white floral but with a smokiness and tropical vibe. This was a quick trial with a sampler and u didn’t wear it for long so I’d have to try it again to see how it wears longer term, but I definitely would wear it again. It would be a nice year-round choice.

This scent is so seductive to me. Opens with a somewhat peppery floral, then dries down into this beautiful, smoky and musky jasmine. It’s very sexy in a “hot tropical summer night” kind of way. It’s not sweet or syrupy on me- instead, it’s this decadent musky and spicy floral. Very dark, could even be unisex. I smell some kind of fruit, but I cannot identify it. I love it. Though, personally, I wouldn’t blind buy this one. The smoky and musky undertones of it might not work with everyone’s skin chemistry.
