Really sexy stuff

Euphoria Intense is oh, so manly! What else could one possibly expect from such an array of rich, woodsy and masculine fragrance notes in such an alluring, cube-shaped bottle.

Euphoria was one of the first male fragrances I tried and for many years it held a strong place in my top scents for men. Euphoria Intense has surpassed the original by far, bringing with it bolder accords and a hell of a lot more sexiness.

I was immediately struck by all the pepper, woods and resinous oud that wafted so beautifully around me. It is the scent of a man, a man that is conscious of smelling good that is. Despite being clean-cut and well-dressed, there's that underlying sense that he doesn't mind getting down and dirty every now and then.

There's subtle hints of spice and soapiness that immerge occasionally throughout the composition, that are somewhat dark and arousing. There is also a strange sweetness, possibly the ginger and basil, that give this fragrance a delicious yet masculine feel.

Euphoria Intense is a great fragrance for men in the way it is absolutely captivating to the opposite sex. It makes a man appear mysterious, charming and classy. The sillage and longevity are certainly better than the original Euphoria and everything about it seems to be drawing me in. I'm actually craving a man right now so I can douse him in the stuff.

Nothing special

Nothing special do not spend your money it is girly and cheap generic but overpriced. Although is way better off than the original euphoria, to be honest this the kind of fragrance that sells only based in the millions and millions in ridiculous 90's-oversexed advertising

Character Head of the CK Line

When you think of Calvin Klein, you might think of CK One and Be. Almost the entire rest of the vast range has managed to run the CK name into the ground in recent years, building one of the most boring and worst reputations in the industry. While I do like Encounter and Shock, these few do not redeem the multitude of failed fragrances. The original Euphoria was just as mediocre a scent for me, so its rarity was the only allure to test the Intense version in the Duty Free area.

And it was worth it. It is a whole class better than the original and at times reminds me of dandy perfumes, mixed with the peppery original and balsamic classics like Relax or Background. Whether it is a fragrance worth purchasing is something everyone must decide for themselves. For me, it’s still not quite enough. Nevertheless, this would have been a quality standard that CK should have held onto.

It is an aromatic, laid-back fruit cocktail (cherries?) of spices and pepper, very creamy yet also masculine. It also has some gourmand qualities, as it becomes chocolatey and slightly powdery towards the end. Definitely a dark representative that dances on the fine line between a quiet seducer and a vulgar dandy. So, the keywords to remember here are pepper, ginger/basil, cream, powder, gourmand, dark patchouli wood, and surprise.

The bottle with its metal frame is pleasing and of good quality. The sillage is perfectly balanced and it makes for a good signature scent. Longevity is just right at 7-8 hours.

Overall, a rare recommendation - you don’t find that often with CK. But here, you can’t go wrong with this soft charmer; it is special and stands out from the gray CK uniformity.

dark sweet and underrated.

Anyone looking at my collection right now and trying to summarize it in a Google search would probably end up with something like "cheapy+Hypetrain."
At the beginning, I made quite a few blind buys based on about 180 hours of YouTube video material.

But this fragrance here I simply bought based on the Parfumo reviews, and it has definitely become one of my favorite scents.
I really wonder why it doesn't appear in any top -whatever- ten list.

Unfortunately, I am not able to describe this scent with eloquent words, but I will still try to place it in the vast world of fragrances with my own words:

The first thing I like is that it is a sweet but not overly sweet scent. What I don't like about many sweeter fragrances is that they start off quite complex, but in the end, only a tonka bean base note remains.

People who like CH Men should at least test this one. The scent takes a similar path for me, without being a clone in the slightest.

Candy meets Dandy!

In the near future, I would like to discuss fragrances that, in my opinion, fly a bit too much "under the radar," as they say in the US, and deserve more attention or, if you will, love. The first of this kind is from Calvin Klein, whose perfume creations I am often not particularly fond of.

Euphoria Men Intense is special in many ways. It starts with the fact that it has little to nothing to do with the rather disappointing "original" Euphoria Men, which is more of a disappointingly uninspired scent. Intense, in terms of quality, follows much more closely the women's version, which I very much enjoy smelling on the female gender.

Loc Dong and Carlos Benaïm have left the beaten path; perhaps they were not (any longer) particularly satisfied with their original version, so that it was not even the significant basis for the Intense variant, but that's too much speculation. In any case, this creation is as extraordinary as it is successful, and can be described with the adjectives noble, distinctive, and stylish.

A sweet fruity note emerges, which, however, has no penetrating undertone and despite these candy-like tendencies, exhibits enough masculine elements to undoubtedly classify the perfume in the masculine category. That is indeed the astonishing part. Candy meets Dandy, and you need a very fine nose to filter out how exactly this meeting works so brilliantly. This mixture merges very harmoniously, and contrary to my impression of the synthetic overkill that I often associate with Calvin Klein creations, Euphoria Men Intense strolls stylishly along and draws attention to itself.

That said, let's move on to the noticeable details in terms of the fragrance notes. This spicy ginger-pepper cocktail, which is supposed to form the head of Euphoria Men Intense, does not come across very prominently. You actually perceive this sweet-fruity component right away. Sweet woods and starfruit, as mentioned here, could be good. I notice less anise, although I like such nuances when they are as successful as in Azzaro pour Homme or Opium by Yves Saint Laurent. However, I suspect that this anise appearance is more due to the black basil, particularly the distinctive Thai basil. This gives the sweetness an interesting counterpoint that softens the candy intensity while also seasoning it innovatively with herbal notes. By the way, my fruit basket association leans towards strawberry and pomegranate, to be precise, grenadine.

The whole thing becomes masculine through earthy elements like patchouli and (as beautifully stated in the fragrance pyramid) balsamic tropical woods. Vetiver comes across rather quietly, but as already mentioned, Euphoria Men Intense does not thrive on the coexistence of its components, but rather on the impressive harmony that, I can imagine, is also very seductive.

Thus, it comes to the rare case that I promote a Calvin Klein fragrance, but Euphoria Men Intense simply receives far too little affection, probably also due to the disappointing "normal Men," and I have really come to appreciate this individual scent over time, or rather, I now love it so much that I am even willing to throw out a rarely given 90 percent. Candy meets Dandy, and this extraordinarily passionate rendezvous deserves more recognition.

The only issue I have with the Euphoria line is deciding which one to wear.
Intense Euphoria deserves its place in my top 10!

I think it's easy to overspray and then be overwhelmed. If you do the sweetness hits you hard but otherwise this is nice ginger, little oud

Nice rich scent, just too synthetic for the type of fragrance it’s trying to be.

Teenage years nostalgia. My fragrance journey begun with this fragrance, sadly discontinued. Now ebay scalpers are trying to rob you and your grandma!
