Unique but not good enough for the price.
Montabaco Intensivo is more than likable but the love is not there. It is the kind of unique, green, fresh scent I am looking for but nothing about it inspires me or makes me smile. For $365 USD it has to make me say “Wow” soon after I spray it. After three wearings I am still asking myself, “Do you like it? How does it smell in the air? Is it really projecting enough? Are you enjoying it?” That said, it’s greater later! I enjoy it progressively more as it dries down… after 2-3 hours. If I keep wearing it, I may grow to appreciate it one day, but I do not feel like growing into it right now. I may circle back to it next year.

Montabaco Intensivo is worth trying though! It is long lasting, well blended, sophisticated and will make a great signature scent. It smells rich. No one will smell like you when you wear it. It’s worth the price if you like it.

UPDATE: I circled back to my 5 ml decant and wore it three days in a row. I appreciate the uniqueness of Montabaco Intensivo now. Really appreciate it. Love it! My nose is maturing. A refreshing change from all the sweet spicy fragrances I often wear. Smells much better in the air. Trying to smell it on your skin is inadequate. However, it does smell better on skin the more it dries down.

Unique
Montabaco Intensivo is a classy fragrance that combines the freshness of citrus with the richness of leather. It's like a fancy leather jacket with a touch of a tropical vacation. The scent lasts long, so you don't need to reapply often. It's perfect for special occasions or when you want to feel confident and sophisticated. Overall, if you enjoy the smell of leather and want something unique, Montabaco Intensivo is a great choice.

Beautiful fresh tobacco
Absolutely beautiful scent. A finely balanced, elegant fragrance that captures the subtly of top quality ingredients. IDEal for autumn and winter evenings, but still works in the spring and summer months. Sensual but bright, smoky but fresh. Totally recommend it and with great longevity so that you don't need too many sprays, which is good given the price tag.

Luxurious Blend of Tobacco!
Big fan of Tobacco and never thought i will find a tobacco based fragrance for the Summer till I found this Gem. A blend of Fresh, green (but just a touch of green), sweet and warm at the same time. Wore this the first time at work and got two compliments as soon my colleagues greeted me. In terms of longevity, I got about 9 hours on my skin. And had a lovely sent bubble for about 6 hours and then turned to have a low to moderate projection. Luxury creation!

A more intense version of the original.
This is such a lovely fragrance. Montabaco is one of my signature scents that I wear all year round. To me, the intense version is just more potent and potentially lasts longer although the original has great longevity. That's it really, I don't find anything else different.
This is a fragrance that is already perfect in its original form. It doesn't need any flankers or reformulations.

Aromatic and woody opening with a fresh touch of orange and clary sage. Drydown gets spicy amber with an ethereal feeling, musk and tobacco.

Vague woods, bits of green tea and a load of spicy-mineral freshness. As a shower product this could work.

Initially uplifting and citric spicy-green, a rather dry and airy earthy-spicy fragrance, balanced by a warm and gentle musky-woody base.

Bright and citrusy . It is full of iso e super. Bit linear and lasts very long time.but I don’t understand why they call it intense tobacco.

Incredibly high-quality composition, one of the few fragrances where I can really understand this air note. Floral, woody and fresh

It is good but it doesn’t move me. For the price point my nose wants more. I found what it lacks in Nawab of Oudh Intensivo.

Elegant, fresh, bright, clean and with tobacco to go with it. The "intensive" prob. refers to quality, because performance is not Op.
