Joop can do it again...

I received this fragrance as a gift today and was initially not happy about it at all. Giving fragrances as gifts is a tricky business; it can really backfire. But not this time. I am totally thrilled!
First, a quick note on the name: designations like Intense, Sport, Extreme, etc. are now just common, and there has been enough gossip about that. Point.
The scent: the original "Wow" DNA is recognizable, combined with a light sweetness that doesn't annoy but is skillfully balanced, probably due to the vetiver. As it develops, the mainstream tonka bean comes into play, but I actually like that here very much. Longevity and projection are worthy of an EdP, and I've already received compliments, though from the lady who gifted it to me. Not entirely neutral, then, but whatever ;-).

I also thought the WOW was very good, and I tested the Intense in the store today. However, I found the H/S to be not as strong, unfortunately.

That sounds good. I liked the original version of the scent, but it lacked a bit in longevity. Adding it to my watchlist.
