Though, Eau Intense doesn’t keep the power for the duration. It can indeed be quite bold up top, so, you don’t need to spray all that much for it to be effective. The original isn’t weak, it’s more moderate, but obviously doesn’t hit the heights of an intense version.Įau Intense starts off strong and then becomes more of a moderate, as it wears on. The sillage is pretty powerful for a citrusy summertime cologne, which is really nice. Although, I do like that one, also.Įau Intense is designed to be stronger and it is. Add to that, the nice aquatic scent and the lack of pepper, and I simply enjoy it more than the original. Which is better? I have to say that Eau Intense won me over with the great cool and refreshing aroma. I really like the juniper addition here, it gives Eau Intense an amazing level of freshness, that matches up well with the frozen grapefruit ingredient. But, it is one nice distinction that I get and really one of the things that sold me on this flanker when I first tried it. You pick up aquatic elements of sea and pool water.ĭon’t worry, they aren’t heavy or overwhelming. It is slightly salty but not really oceanic, more like sitting by a hotel pool, while on an island. The main difference from the original is the inclusion of an aquatic accord.

In its place, I pick up a light juniper note.

The grapefruit is a ‘frozen’ one, so, there is a great chilled vibe coming from the cologne and the pepper is absent from this version. This provides a smoked wood scent, that gently sits in the background.Įau Intense, is similar to the original in that it starts with grapefruit and mandarin orange, to give that citrus scent. It is super bright and summery, with added spice provided by pepper, and an herbal aroma of rosemary.Īfter 10 minutes, the citrus is bolstered by some base notes, of incense and rosewood. Light Blue opens up with a trio of citrus fruits led by bergamot and grapefruit, with a bit of mandarin orange.
