My ultimate signature scent
My Way Intense is everything I want in a fragrance. The tuberose in this comes off like bubble gum, which is pillowed by a wave of creamy vanilla that keeps things gently sweet. The perfume feels feminine and soft, yet always lends me an air of confidence when I wear it. It walks this line between floral and sweet that is done so well - the perfume feels wonderfully blended. The woods in the base are there to keep the perfume grounded and allow for longevity, but they're not too perceptible.

Pure bubble gum
Not going to lie but, I never believed anyone saying that Giorgio Armani MY WAY is smelling like bubble gum until I could try it by myself. Even if I changed my mind, this, only applies to the og version of course. I really think the og is fresher and has a more "flowery" note comparing to the MW intense.

It's not only incredibly true for the intense version, but super realistic bubble gum scent.
Now that I tried the intensive version, I can only associate it with this amazing bubble gum trail. What's a bit shocking is not how fun the tuberose can smell from one to another, it's the fact that it smells EXACTLY like a sweet and powdery/sugar bubble gum, like straight up gum after unwrapping the plastic.

Now, this will be my ultimate perfume for my birthday ! It's sweet, inoffensive and super easy to wear. I really recommend My Way Intense to everyone on a search for a realistic bubble gum.

Oriental Bubblegum
If you want to buy any perfume from the My way line buy this one.

There are several reasons like:
-crazy good projection and longevity
-it's best formulated and rounded smell of them all

Now, the line itself is nothing special nor ground breaking, but at least with this purchase you will not suffer from smell being lost after 1 hour like with some from this line. So, value for money when it comes to the performance is justified! All in all the whole line does not bring anything new nor original to the perfume world, but if you are in need of a perfume that have AMAZING silage/longevity and you need it for NIGHT/EVENING occasions you can try this one. This perfume is 2 steps ahead of its own line, it does bring a bit of a "newness" thus it is debated. For some people its overly cloying and sweet, almost synthetic. For others its a signature piece.

As for the smell, most of the reviewers nailed it pretty good.
It is first and foremost ORIENTAL FLORAL.
Oriental part gives a bit of an edge to this perfume, something unique, I look at it like an added value to the Floral part.
Floral part is controversial, as it is indeed very sweet, like a bubble gum. Not like a teenager Ariana Grande soft bubble gum, more like intense and creamy bubble gum.
Women of many ages can wear this perfume, but I would suggest it as a first Night out perfume for girls once they start going out. It won't let you down and you will still smell it after the night of clubbing but it could be a good step towards a new perfume journeys. For some girls it can open the interest in other oriental perfumes, and for some it can take them into the world of sweet and gourmand perfumes.

Spicy, Woody Intoxication - Never again
Have you ever feel the pain, when the peel juice from bitter orange comes straight into your eye? This is how it smells like. Bitter pain. I used to like this perfume, but now it's BIG no for me. I bought a 90 ml bottle and I can't wait to finish it. Maybe it's because it's already macerated, or I'm used to other scents now. Anyway, this is how an old lady smells like, and not in a good way. There's just so much going on, it's so strong, there's not even a trace of flowers. It's a spicy, woody intoxication where florals just happened to speedrun next to it. It's not sweet, it dries bitter and spicy on the skin, and you can smell it from a mile away. Everyone knows that I've definitely visited a specific room a couple of hours ago, everyone knows that's how I smell, but no one has ever complimented me on that perfume. From the same line of perfumes, I rate My Way Florar and Ylang positively (Ylang especially), but this one - definetely no.

First yuck then hmm
I ordered something again and my Way was included as a sample in the package, and I had to test it immediately. Sprayed on my arm, at first I thought, oh this is sharp and scratchy and I wanted to wash it off right away, but I thought, no, close your eyes and push through, it can't be, there’s Bourbon vanilla in it, so it must be good. Okay, waited 5 minutes and no, it’s still not great but not as sharp as at the beginning. Another 5 minutes passed, nose to it... Wow, what is this? So soft, grown-up, and sexy. The vanilla is there, it’s seductive too, but since it was so fussy at the beginning, I wouldn’t buy it, there are enough that are immediately WOW.

Sweet like candy, bubble gummy, but still fresh enough to wear during warmer months. Way better than the original!

Its eco-friendly refillable bottle but is young and elegant at the same time. Very sweet the bouquet,
I smell mainly vanilla on my skin

A cloyingly sweet bubblegum opening with a sweet floral drydown. Lasts forever, but not for me.

Stronger than original. Sweeter. Less orange and harder to discern tuberose.

An uninspiring bubblegum scent for me. It's ok, but nothing more.

It's bananas! Literally smells like the banana-flavoured antibiotic medicine I had as a kid. Made me gag, so the sample was binned.

Can't smell the difference between this and the original. Sweet, pink floral. If you like white florals, you may find this too sweet.

Very creamy sweet banana vanilla tuberose, I don't like the combo but if you do, this one lasts and projects . Summer night party vibe IMHO.

The extremely subtle, almost homeopathically dosed tuberose from the previous creation finally shines through here, highlighted by vanillin.

More vanilla and a bit less "squeaky" than the predecessor. Still quite similar, neither is necessary. H+S deserves an Intense!
