Pros & Cons
- ✅ Great, unique, mature scent, but not for everyone. Highly recommend buying a sample of this one :)
- ✅ Considering the price, one of the best values in all of fragrance. A unique blend of herbal, paper, amber, incense accords dominate the scent, yet it still feels light and uplifting.
- ✅ Best IM in my opinion. Classy. 8.1/10
- ✅ Such a solid fragrance for the price point! Slightly smokey and mysterious but very wearable in most any occasion.
- ✅ Clean Incense. Perfection.
- ✅ This is a deeper, richer and more complex fragrance than the original but unmistakably linked to it.
- ✅ Probably the most versatile fragrance Issey Miyake ever made and it’s a shame they have discontinued the Intense.
- ❌ I find this to be overrated. It's very synthetic. It just smells really 'perfumey,' like an average run of the mill cheapy dumb reach cologne vibe
- ❌ This is among the few in my collection that i don't really care for. Its not as fresh or citrusy as the OG, nor as dark & mysterious as 'Or Encens & Noir Ambre'. Bad blind buy. 6/10
- ❌ Performance is very poor, 1-2 hours of weak projection.
- ❌ This is among the few in my collection that i don't really care for. Its not as fresh or citrusy as the OG, nor as dark & mysterious as 'Or Encens & Noir Ambre'. Bad blind buy.
- ❌ Slightly paint thinner odour after a year used
- ❌ It's not quite my type of scent, it takes a certain type of person to we
