The One, but extra dull

“Intense” is not a particularly good name for this scent, it's more cozy than intense. The vibe is cuddling after all is said and done. I find the fragrance very low energy - it's like they took The One EDT and made it extra dull. The black bottle fits its lights-out character. It's possible to find an intriguing note in this, but it's difficult. I could point to fragrances ten times cheaper that I'd prefer to this one.

The scent is mostly sweet and spicy. I don't smell much leather. I'm sure that cardamom contributes significantly to my unfavourable perception of the perfume. It's boring and at the same time irritating, generally similar to Azzaro Wanted By Night, but blander and sweeter. If you want the sweet dry spicy theme, I would recommend Prada Luna Rossa Black instead. If you want a sensual vibe, go for Bvlgari Man in Black.
