So on this Sunday I decided to reorganize my collection according to: - fresh gym scents/heat - office casual - sweet - nighttime fragrances I enlisted the help of my favorite Oompa Loompa and I'm starting to slowly get him into fragrances so bonus!

Off the first spray this instantly feels richer and deeper than the original. The opening still carries that signature Cedrat Boise brightness with Sicilian citrus and blackcurrant, giving it a sharp, fruity freshness, but the addition of warm spices makes the start feel slightly darker and more mature. As it settles, the fragrance quickly reveals a much fuller heart where leather, patchouli and sandalwood take control, giving the scent a smooth woody depth with a subtle smoky edge. There’s also a hint of oud and jasmine that adds richness and sophistication, making the composition feel more luxurious and structured rather than purely fresh. In the dry down, vanilla, ambergris, oakmoss and white musk bring warmth and longevity, turning the fragrance into a creamy, woody-amber scent that sits confidently on the skin for hours. The vanilla softens the darker notes while the oakmoss keeps everything grounded and slightly earthy. Performance is strong, I easily get 8–10+ hours with solid projection early on, leaving a noticeable citrus-woody trail that feels refined and masculine. Overall rating: 9.1/10 Yes this intense pushes the woods, leather and vanilla further forward, making it feel smoother, richer and more mature whereas the original feels brighter, fruitier and more playful with its citrus-forward freshness. The DNA is clearly the same, but the Intense version feels heavier, darker and more evening-ready, while the original remains the fresher and more versatile daytime option. Definitely not redundant owning both even if they do have slight overlap so yes I definitely would purchase the full bottle of the Intense.

Last time I broke this out was the 4 Nations Championship last year, so I thought It would be a good idea to rock it today for the National Championships🙏 Another blinder from perfumer Sonia Constant, released in 2021. Im going deeper & deeper into leather notes latley after getting the edp version to do some comparisoons I thought Id have too get this as well to make an informed desision. Both are gorgeously done. Leather can be a difficult raw material to work with. We dont have a natural leather note. So it needs to be created by using various raw materials such as Birch Tar, Styra, Castoreum, Labdanum, or even Synth Isoquinolines. It can turn out really bad or in ths case really good. The parfum is an intensified version of the original Ombré Leather edp, but its different, this is a more refined type of leather, neither better nor worse, just different. Here's a breakdown, Up top you got Black leather & a Violet leaf absolute Orpur. At the heart its rocking Jasmine Sambac absolute India orpur & a double concentration of Orris heart. At its base, Cedarwood, Green Tobacco, Woody notes. The fact that she spent 25 years as a Givaudan perfumer explains the use of the Ophur Materials. I was shocked to see what she has created, having worked for many top designer labels. I really like this scent, its a modern master piece, I put one spritz on the back of my hand the night I got it and it was still on my skin the next day. Performance is as close to 24 hours as Ive ever seen, projection is a solid 4 to 5hrs. Best suited for the colder days and Powerlifting Competitions. My Rating 9/10 Scent 3 Longevity 3 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

Hey good people, I received the bottle today. After a couple of sprays: very nice, a leather and green rose bomb. It has amazing projection, and I’m 100% sure this thing will last forever. It opens with a bold leather reminiscent of Tuscan Leather, but quickly reveals a green, slightly metallic undertone that recalls Fahrenheit (first impressions). I’m about 20 minutes in right now, and I’ll post an update once I get the full drydown. Honestly, it’s very nice, like if Tuscan Leather and Fahrenheit had a baby. Today I’m wearing Red Fever, and I accidentally layered both fragrances… and wow, it’s amazing! This might actually be how I end up wearing it. Red Fever brightens the green notes of Anguish and Awe and makes the whole thing smoother and more rounded. I’m loving it!!
