De meningen op het internet
Though Intense for Men isn’t super well-known yet, there are already a few reviews online. YouTubers like Fragrance Fan and Scent Talk TV have shared their thoughts.
Fragrance Fan describes the opening as a mix of citrus, ginger, and juniper berries, creating a fresh and strong start. He compares it to Invictus, which some also liken to Wanted by Azzaro. However, Intense for Men opens a bit more synthetic and sharp.
He gives the fragrance a 5 out of 10, citing its reasonable price and long-lasting scent. The fragrance is youthful, versatile, but not for everyone. On him, it lasted 8 to 9 hours.
ScentTalk TV also compares Sapil Intense for Men to Invictus, describing it as a deep blue, rich, fresh, and slightly sweet scent, with an aquatic vibe and a somewhat synthetic edge. He identifies citrus, ginger, lavender, and mint in the top notes, leading to a fresh opening.
He appreciates the scent and sees it as a good choice for a younger audience. On him, it lasted about 6 hours, with strong projection in the first hour. ScentTalk TV thinks Sapil Intense for Men offers great value and is a solid addition to his fragrance collection.
We came across this review on TikTok from The Madfragger. He describes the scent as a nice, fresh fragrance with solid performance.
Fragrance enthusiasts on Fragrantica have given Sapil Intense for Men a score of 4.15 out of 5. Many praise the scent for its strong performance, which is impressive for a fresh fragrance. Some people do notice a slight synthetic undertone in the opening, but it's generally accepted.
Our Experience
We snagged Intense for Men for 20 dollar. Was it worth it? We think so! The fragrance performed pretty well for us too, which is impressive for a summer scent. We got around 6 hours of wear, with good projection for the first 2 hours. We also noticed the synthetic edge in the opening, but it didn’t bother us.
While some say the scent is suitable year-round, we see it more as a spring and summer fragrance. The fresh, fruity, and aquatic opening makes it a perfect choice for warmer days. Intense for Men is a versatile scent that you can wear to the office, school, or a party.
The bottle design is pretty cool too. The leather strap and the missing corner make it unique. The blue color hints at the aquatic notes inside. The only downside for us is the spray nozzle, which is a bit weak.
We’re giving Intense for Men a solid 7.5. As long as the price stays around $20, it's definitely worth a blind buy.
Is Intense for Men de worth it?
Sapil Intense for Men is an affordable fragrance with excellent performance, especially for a fresh and aquatic scent. The synthetic edge might put some people off, but it also helps extend the fragrance’s lifespan.
The scent starts off strong and fresh but mellows out over time. As long as the price stays around 20 euros, we think it’s a great blind buy. If you’re looking for a well-priced fresh fragrance that’s similar to Wanted and Invictus but lasts a bit longer, Sapil Intense for Men is a great addition to your collection!
