Is 'Intense' just industry jargon, or does it truly signify a stronger fragrance? Join us as we embark on a sensory adventure, starting with our first impressions of Mancera's Red Tobacco Intense, graciously sent by our Patreon supporter, Michael J. We dive into a mixed Fragrantica review, scrutinizing its floral, musky, and intimate projection qualities. Our discussion then pivots to the term "Intense" in the fragrance world and whether it lives up to the hype. We also share our unexpected fondness for Dior Sauvage Eau Forte, reflecting on its balanced, mellow profile and how it stacks up against the infamous Baccarat Rouge.
