Ombre Nomade in...better? worse? what now?
First of all, I should mention that I haven't been into perfumes for long, and the Scorpion Intense is my first full bottle outside of a few "mainstream" fragrances, so my review is not from a niche expert but simply from a guy who was looking for a good scent and yes - found one.
But let’s start from the beginning:
After purchasing my first favorite scents from the designer segment and beginning to delve deeper into the world of perfume, I wanted to know what the big players in the industry were all about and whether the hype was really justified for me.
So I also acquired a sample of Ombre Nomade, and while I was quite unimpressed by other niche segment fragrances, ON completely blew me away (I know LV is a designer brand, but in terms of price and DNA, I would say ON is more of a niche).
But the problem: Do I really want to spend €335 on a fragrance? I had already resigned myself to biting the bullet next month and just buying Ombre Nomade; I simply had to have it.
However, I made the wise decision to open a forum thread and ask the community what alternatives there are to Ombre Nomade, and THANK GOD a user wrote to me and recommended Scorpion Intense.
So I searched for Scorpion Intense - rating 9.0 - CRAZY!
Fragrance notes - Very similar to ON - NICE!
Reviews and comments very positive - OK!
Looked for the scent on YouTube and only heard positive things from 4 different YouTubers - ALLRIGHT!
Price? - €120 for 50ml - FITS!
Let’s Go
f*** it
Blind buy.
4 days of anticipation - will I be disappointed or not? Is the scent really as good as everyone says? Can it compete with Ombre Nomade?
And what can I say?
I’m absolutely in love. In my opinion, it’s truly a better and more wearable alternative to Ombre Nomade.
At first sniff, a bit shaky, even more unpleasant than ON, after 5 minutes it was on par, and after 30 minutes Scorpion Intense surpassed ON.
And sillage?
Brutal. 3 sprays and after 6 hours it was almost too overpowering, so be careful.
To summarize this review:
Anyone looking for a more wearable, smoother, and cheaper alternative to ON, who can do without an L and a V on the shelf, can confidently reach for Scorpion Intense - the 9 rating is justified.
P.S. Yes, the bottle looks like cheap aftershave from your favorite barber, but who cares?

Isn't the Scorpion scent a bit too intense? I just sprayed it on a tissue and wow. It smells impressive. The rating is absolutely justified. But it dominates my small 15m² room. Maybe it's too warm right now, but the scent will be intense in winter too.
When do you wear a fragrance like this, and how exactly?
That's where Scorpion Intense is perfect for me, but I can understand if someone prefers subtler scents that are less intrusive - I don't wear Scorpion Intense every time I go out either. Then there's also the question of how much you spray.
2-3 sprays are more than enough for an evening. If I wanted to go full beast mode, I might do 4, but anything beyond that would be way too overpowering. As for the season, Scorpion Intense is definitely not very suitable, but I would still wear it on a relatively cool summer evening.
I hope that answers your question! :)
