For the Japanese moments in life

Dolce & Gabbanas light blue pour homme had long since disappeared from my field of vision. Really lasting impressions, whether positive or negative, had not remained in my memory after wearing them several times.
I took this as a test to compare it with his newer Flanker "eau intense".

Close to the original I find only the first part of the name here at the branch.
Eau intense goes soon after the top note in a completely different direction than the original, into the Herb citric namely.
And anyone who feels very intensely reminded of Issey Miyakes l'eau d'issey is right. I can't tell the long middle part apart at all for both of them.

It may be that here the watery naming, similar to the Japanese, unconsciously conjures associations of sea breezes and maritime freshness into the head. However, I can't perceive the fruity-citric basic tone that dominates over long distances.

It becomes even more diversified when the fragrance makes the very perceptible turn into wood, becomes a little heavier and ends with the penetrating amber wood for a long time. Well done.
Sillage and shelf life (about six hours) are absolutely in keeping with this fragrance, which unfolds preferably in spring and summer, and there's also something for the eye with the appealing bottle.

In short: I would definitely prefer Eau intense to the scent technically not so close original. He is more perceptible, more persistent and has more character than the rather trivial and interchangeable cousin.
Only problem:
With the mentioned fragrance twin l'eau d'issey the alternative to the original light blue already exists. And with shiseido it also comes from the same house.
