Scent Intense  Eau de Parfum by Costume National avail @ Luckyscent for $94.00

The second of the trilogy is the darker and more dangerous cousin to Scent. While Scent brought out hibiscus on a bed of rich amber, Scent Intense dives straight in the amber, kicking up the smolder to 10. Magnetic and sensual, Scent Intense has a calm and elegant opening, which immediately switches to a punk rock, no-holds-barred amber and woods beast. Stunning, unique and utterly addictive, it’s an androgynous fragrance that has captivated sensualists from both sides of the aisle--both women and men snap this up in droves. Try it just once and you’ll know why.

Speed Racer says.. During the initial spray on my wrist I began thinking of a scene from the beginning of the movie “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”.  The scene where Sean Connery is sitting in this big room in the lobby of a South African gaming club. It  looks hot. Dusty. Dry. Men sitting around talking and smoking cigars in well dress game hunting attire probably telling tales of great adventures.

Intense is just that, a blast of intensity to give me the I am alive feeling, but also capable of sustained energy and marathon endurance to go all day. Bold amber fragrance is lovely on my wrists and nape of neck. A hint of fire seems to keep the amber glowing for an all day long scent. As the day passes a tea like scent becomes more prevalent and adds a calm to the smoldering  ashes but there is also a light floral that passes through. By day’s end Scent Intense seems to transform from a distinguished gentlemen’s fragrance to a sumptuous ladies perfume.

Men, if you looking for a special someone you gotta have this cologne. Scent Intense will transform you from order to extraordinary in 1 spritz. Now, if you are looking to knock that special someone off their feet, two spritz are for you.

And let’s not forget about the bottle. The bottle is the message. The conversation piece. The WTF is that. Now, most of you are used to viewing the bottle with the label facing you.  The concave shape, all black, save the label, looks wonderful. Distinguished. Sexy. Sinful. Grown up.

But, I have the bottle with the label facing backwards on my desk and that’s when my “uh ha” moment occurred. The bottle looks sexy, sinful, and mature not just because of the exquisitely scented fragrance, but also because the bottle looks like the top of a bosom.
