The increase of WOW?
If there are paths in the mainstream world that deviate from the zeitgeist, it's worth the time for a comment. Because the Intense Flanker has just been released, it is immediately treated with a treatment in the course of a comparison.
The reason why I like this fragrance is that I have a weakness for woody amber fragrances. As long as they don't choke on cake spices. Basically Kiton Napoli's heart was ripped out of a fragrance I unfortunately only got to know after it was stopped, the citrus tones were ripped out of it, the lily of the valley simulation was reduced and the vanilla was set to light food.
The remaining corpus is for me a linear wooden amber tone, which was ventilated in a wonderful way. If I had reduced myself to a statement here, it would have been: "The magic is in the air". And what makes this fragrance outstanding for my nose is not the list of ingredients but its ability to change despite the linear basic impression. Sometimes a Wishky texture comes over, sometimes a nuance of tobacco and very consistently a touch of cherry. Never sticky or gourmandig, also not suffocating creamy, but airy whipped.
Adjusted for the factor of self-adaptation, the performance is 7-8 hours and thus within my usable radius without any problems. The projection is average with normal handling and therefore easy to use in everyday life.
So the handover to his new big brother. I wouldn't have needed any intentions here, because the direct comparison unfailingly reveals to me that here, too, a formula of its own was sent into the race. And this at the expense of the character independence of the original.
If cinnamon is already threatened in the pyramid (simply not one of my favorite scents), then usually its use is noticeable. A note that stands out strongly for me. The pool of cinnamon-heavy wooden scents, which fade out similarly, is significantly higher.
That's why I'd make the recommendation here: Those who like the EdT should rather overspray this than reach for the Intense. The DNA of the original is clearly disfigured by cinnamon, gently disfigured by iris.
But what I want to give the Flanker credit for is that he's not suffocating in sweetness. This character (of the EdT) could be maintained. The Intense version begins like a subtle butter biscuit, then smells of fresh concrete for a while and nestles tangentially to the DNA original of the WOW EdT. Always the cinnamon in the luggage, which in the overall impression very easily allows associations with other fragrances.
I cannot judge how doubling the concentration of EdT would have affected the fragrance itself. And whether the airiness that makes this fragrance interesting for me would have been lost to him.
Wow Intense is far from bad, but for someone who is at war with cinnamon, it is not a real permanent alternative.
For marketing purposes, advertising a fragrance as a "WOW" is a direct challenge to the mocking creativity of potential customers. Since fragrances have a lot to do with suggestion, this fragrance deserves a name that hasn't been brainstormed between parking lot and office.
There is no superlaive to WOW, except maybe Wau Wau"!
