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.

I got this one as a tester. A first I really disliked it, seemed very masculine to me, but at the second try, I really loved it. At first it's very intense, sandalwood scent, then it becomes sweet and very nice, will probably buy it someday.

I don’t personally own this perfume but a roommate of mine does. It lasts so insanely long and you can smell it from a mile away. It is an amazing option for a signature scent. To me this smells like a hazelnutty chocolate-y vanilla

Obvious coconut note that's lacking in the notes above. It's a great perfume, I love it, it's gourmand and warm but not too much, it's balanced out by the floral notes. I can't stop smelling myself!

Unpopular opinion but I LOVE this fragrance. It's deep, sexy, sweet and mysterious. Perfect for evenings and date nights.

Smells exactly like alien goddess

Oooo this one is good. The original and parfum reminded me of a very nice plug in, like room freshener. They were both fruitier than this one, but felt unrefined. This one is creamier and has a soft woods effect, it's also quite light. I am not a big fan of deep dark scents and was worried with the incense and sandalwood together, but it is light and soft with some mystery from the incense. No straight up smokiness or earthiness here. I like that this is different from anything I have, or have come across. I don't get coconut or Alien Goddess at all. I have Goddess and I love it, this is very different...while Goddess is bright and solar, this is more grounded and creamy, but does remain light and happy. Kind of a juxtaposition with this one not quite dark, but still more mysterious leaning. It's not super loud, but I've only worn one spray on skin and could lightly smell it when I moved my wrist. I can still smell it on my wrist 6 hours later, but it has stopped wafting. Anyway, I love it! I think this could be a daily wear without growing tiresome.

This flanker finally arrived to my local Sephora. I tested the other day on paper strip and my skin too. I must say this is an underwhelming release. I like the original Fame and I love the Parfum flanker but I think the only thing that makes this fragrance line interesting is the mango note. That is what I associate it with, that's the strongest part of its identity. So when they create a flanker like this, the Intense version it becomes unrecognisable and forgettable. It's a pleasant woody jasmine with coconut undertones from the sandalwood. It's smooth and has hint of incense. Personally it reminds me of Good Fortune and Good Fortune Elixir by Viktor and Rolf. This fragrance sits in the middle between those two. It's nice but unnecessary release. Basically, save your money. I hope they will create new flankers with the mango note again, I would love to see more of those!

This fragrance reminds a little bit of Obsession by Calvin Klein with a modern twist, it is not as strong as Obsession but definitely a lighter version, the incense is so delicious; eventhough it does remind me of a Catholic church during Easter. The mango note makes a quick appearance at the start and then vanishes like it never happened. I am not a fan of the original version, I find it generic and boring, but this one is more mature, established, contemplative, confident, modern, not sexy but exotic and serene, I think it is an acceptable fragrance. The performance is better than the original, perhaps 3 or 4 hrs, I would think about buying a 30ml bottle; only if I can find it at a promo price, at the moment in mainstream shops, it's super expensive.

I got 5ml of this with an atomiser I bought and on first spray I really enjoyed this. I immediately got a lot of coconut and woody notes, it’s sweet, musky and a bit smoky which I love. On me the dry down is sweet and I don’t get much of the floral notes, unfortunately I find it doesn’t last too long on me. I get around 2-3 hours of wear of this and it’s not overly noticeable which is nice for when I want a more subtle fragrance. Since I got it in a travel atomiser I don’t mind that it doesn’t last as long since it’s something I carry in my bag with me.

A nice creamy, tropical vibe perfume. It starts more fresh, fruity,a bit spicy and quickly turns into tropical creaminess with a twist of light incense. It reminds me of Alien Goddess intense but it is better in my opinion because of the added note of incense so it doesn't become dull. Longevity and projection is really good. I think it suits colder weather more.

creamy, sunny tropical fruity-floral. a grown-up summer party girl scent. it’s giving extrovert. I like it way more than I thought I would. if only the bottle weren’t so ugly. would love this in my rotation. the drydown is straight alien goddess, but the opening is far more interesting thanks to the incense (one of my favorite notes). this was made for me!

The exact notes found on a website Top coconut bergamote Italy essence pink pepper Heart incense ylang ylang jasmine Base sandalwood mineral musk cedarwood I don’t understand why they left all the notes out I like this just for evenings or relaxing I have fame parfum too hideous bottles I can’t stop laughing but over all they are quite nice for the season

Woody and fresh. It continues to amaze me how different jasmine can smell all the time. The citrus works really beautifully here. Wore at work and whenever my wrist would pass by my head I’d get a whiff and be like omg yum. Didn’t stand out to me on my first sampling, but wearing it properly I’ve grown to like it. :-)

Began as a piña colada, and macerated into a thick mango lassi with a hint of bright freshness that's served in a cut-open coconut. There is some incense smokiness to it as the scent opens up and those woody notes do appear, but it dries down very sweet and creamy.

Potent rich jasmin mixed with luminous incensy accords, on a base of a heavy, creamy sandalwood. Mysterious and sophisticated giving dark feminine vibes. It's a very enveloping frangrance with a great lasting power.
