The Essence Of Seduction
I still remember testing The Scent for Him Eau de Toilette for the first time. It fascinated me straightforwardly, and I liked it a lot. Well, The Scent Intense is even better. I don't understand the controversial rating. Love and Dislike roughly have the same rating. I don't comprehend all the hate for this fragrance. The mode is a solid 7, which is alright. The Scent Intense is a classic cologne, not groundbreaking, but it deserves more than 7. Besides, it transmits me strength, confidence, elegance, and style.
If you have never come across The Scent Intense, you must know that it is a perfume full of cool, spicy, aromatic, semi-sweet, and slightly leathery accords, with smoky and powdery undertones. It has lifted and amplified the more aphrodisiac ingredients compared to the original. And the Hugo Boss DNA is there; like Guerlain's "Guerlinade", Hugo Boss fragrances also have a secret formula in each perfume, recognizable as a trademark. While it has a core built around the Maninka fruit, which delivers this essence's sweet and fruity edges, the key players in the opening are the spices. A profound cool breeze comes from the spicy ginger root that tingles in my nose, along with a minty and balsamic undertone of cardamom, so green, resinous, and aromatic. The bitter freshness lasts for about ten minutes, and it's on my face, energetic, bright, fresh, and crisp, before revealing a fruity and aromatic heart full of intriguing hints. The opening pleases me.
In the heart, therefore, the aphrodisiac fruit Maninka awaits me, already used in its predecessor, but here it has been intensified, amplified, and appears even more powerful. Its facets are rich and complex, magnetic, with a dried fruit aroma and strawberries dipped in chocolate. But I like the fruity component, which doesn't disturb me. The exotic and unknown fruit blends with the aromatic facets of lavender, a soothing and grooming aroma from the bluish blossoms stolen from the fougére family. The middle notes of this perfume stay with me for a long before the leather jumps in.
The dry-down reveals a massive dose of wood, with a tone of powdery vanilla and smoky leather shades. The leathery notes are sophisticated, soothing, and not too raw or animalic. However, it gives strength to the scent with wet dampness. The sweet vanilla is spicy, cosy, and inviting to cuddle. The fresh opening settles into a refined, warm, and sensual caress. There is more bitterness than sweetness despite the fruits.
This perfume is ideal for parties, dates, and romantic evenings and is best worn on cold evenings and nights. It is intense from a redolence point of view. Indeed, performances are moderate, the projection is not obnoxious, and the scent moves close to the skin after an hour. It lasts nearly five hours but works fine for evening or night events. Many people say it is ordinary, though it features the Maninka fruit that has not been used in other fragrances before, other than The Scent series.
I'm basing my feelings and review on a bottle I've owned since December 2021.
