Fresh and well-balanced cherry
I love this. I have rouge smoking so I assumed something like this would be redundant in the cherry/almond category but they're absolutely nothing alike. If rouge smoking is a rich dessert, Q intense is like a fizzy, slightly tart drink.
To me it's nothing like lost cherry either, which I have a decant of. There's nothing at all cough syrup-y or boozy about this one. Similar notes but a completely different experience. It's light and fresh and uplifting, while being totally different from your usual citrus bomb or marine freshie. There's definitely citrus in this but it blends in well and emphasises the tartness of the cherry rather than sticking out or being a focal point. The amber grounds it well without making it too heavy or dark. Sweet but far from cloying, and it's doing great so far in the summer heat.
I find the projection and longevity to be pretty good, I can smell it on myself for a few hours wafting in the air before it becomes a skin scent, and it lasts as a skin scent for at least a few hours more. Perhaps not as good as you would hope for something labelled "intense" but not as bad as some reviews would have you believe. I would also class this as solidly unisex, despite its marketing.
