It is very similar to the original…
… the average nose might not detect ANY difference at all.
I’m seeing conflicting reviews saying it isn’t as great a performer, but I feel there’s relativity to that statement.
On my skin, it’s not AS loud as the original in the opening, but it’s thicker and smoother all the way through. You can definitely tell they’re from the same DNA, and I don’t think you need both in your collection (but I’m glad I DO). The intense doesn’t project as much in the opening, but to me, is a better overall performer. That “thickness” lasts for an easy 8 hours, while the original backs off to a much softer degree, much earlier.
Is one better than the other? I honestly don’t think so. They both smell fantastic, and each has something that you might want on a different day. During the mid, the intense is heavenly.
The projection radius is a medium build, but once you enter that radius, it’s a THICK cloud. Sillage is also great, as that thickness sits for a decent timeframe, and longevity is also good, as I’m still smelling it a good 7-9hours after the initial sprays.
If you shoot a good 5-7 sprays, there’s nothing to be disappointed about, projection, sillage, and longevity will be great.
