Yet another JPG Le Male wanna-be, fresh vanilla concoction...
This is yet another JPG Le Male wanna-be, fresh vanilla concoction, (along the lines of Cuba Gold, Fujiyama Gentleman, and Cadillac Black,) and not a particularly good one, I am afraid. In fact, I would argue all three above are better than man.aubusson Intense. (Cuba Gold and man.aubusson Intense are available at US discount fashion stores for marginally lower prices than Fujiyama Gentleman and Cadillac Black; however all four are so affordable that I cannot see price being the deciding factor when picking one among the four. I also saw a three-piece gift set of man.aubusson Intense for exactly the same price as the EDT, but I do not know if that packaging is widely available.)
man.aubusson Intense starts off somewhat fresh, but not as vivid as the other three I mentioned, and pretty soon dries down to an ordinary, boring, cheap vanilla base. The bottle looks quite interesting in pictures, but in real life it is one of the cheapest-looking, (and indeed, possibly the most cheaply-made,) bottles I have come across.
In all fairness, I have to state that my bottle was made in the US. I know that there is a France-made version of man.aubusson (the "non-intense" version), but I do not know if there is a France-made version of man.aubusson Intense. If there is, it might be better than the version that I have.
