I'm thinking of buying either Valentino BIR Intense or Valentino Coral Fantasy. I haven't smelt neither of them so it gonna be a blind buy. My question is which one is better for a all year round especially for the summer. People around me which own the Intense recommend it but for the Coral fantasy I haven't heard a thing. Thanks in advance!

#sotd... Intense Pepper by Montale... This opens with a nice fresh lemon scent. It took between 5 to 10 minutes before the Black Pepper came through. The two mixing gives this a really nice blend of a fresh spicy scent that remains present for most of the wear. Even though Floral Notes is listed in the mid, however I did not pick up on any. After about 4 to 5 hours, I started getting a really nice pleasant sweet, musky, woodiness that pretty much closed out this fragrance. I refreshed at the 9 hour mark. I was still picking it up on my shirt but at that point it was more of a skin scent. I give this a 9.5 out of 10. I believe this is a very versatile fragrance that could be worn year round. I would just be gentle with the sprays in the high heat weather. But definitely can be pulled off.
