Notes












It opens with a strong coffee note accompanied by a mandarin and grapefruit bite that I found a bit unpleasant. Luckily, the Mandarin faded rather quickly and left behind a generic gourmand vanilla sweetness. This scent is saved from being completely generic by the hint of coffee that accompanies the vanilla sweetness and the creaminess imparted by the sandalwood. There may be a whisper of the florals but barely enough to detect. Near the end there is a bit of musk in there too. Sillage is Low. After a 2-3 hours it's basically a skin scent. The longevity is moderate as the scent doesn't last more than about 6-8 hours before it's totally gone.
This perfume has indeed a resemblance to Amor Amor, but no it is not a dupe and it hasn't got the quality of Amor Amor and it doesn't have the citrusy smell of Amor Amor. Some might categorised it as pretty synthetic. I still like it though as an every day fragrance. It opens with a very alcoholic scent that luckily disappears after few seconds. The initial notes are focused on the citruses and vanilla but they disappear rather fast paving the way to coffee and vanilla. A rather sweet scent. I suggest it for a fall or winter day. It can be worn at night as well, but its longevity is 2-3 hours, so it is not that intense. Its sillage is moderate. On the plus side also the very cheap price it comes.
I've bought it and was disappointed. A kind of pseudo oriental compote. Not lasting and not memorable. Yes, it's similar to Amor Amor, but a pale copy of Amor Amor.
Well, this isn't INTENSO at all. It's sooo weak! At first you get a blast of perfume, but it fades FAST! I don't get any coffee, sadly... which is why I blind bought it. About 12 squirts of this gives me a citrus musk. Nothing more. It's enjoyable but bland. This is uber cheap, so I don't regret it, in fact I got a 1.7 oz for $6 shipped, and bought 2 more for $10 shipped so I could go nuts. If layered with L de Lolita Lempicka, it's pure heaven! I get the coffee now and the citrus blends beautifully with L. L is long lasting, so use 1-2 of L to start, and then refresh with 1-2 sprays of Intenso every few hours. :)
Yes, it's similar to Amor Amor.. but not THAT much. I don't like Amor Amor at all. This one is much better.
