Clasico de Intense is a dead on accurate clone of the famous and groundbreaking Acqua di Gio. It's a classic and timeless fresh citrus forward scent that broke the hold of aromatic fougeres and made aromatic citrus colognes a permanent mainstay in the market. Sure there are other more earthy notes in the base, but this is all about the citrus. Once the alcoholic blast in the opening dries down, the citrus is what it's all about. This is pleasant, uplifting and refreshing. You know what you're getting with this. All citrus all the time. It's fantastic for layering with other fragrances, especially other fresh, vanilla forward or incense forward colognes.
With this said, this template has become one-dimensional as more sophisticated and varied flankers and clones of those flankers have hit the market. These blend the powerhouse citrus base with other styles of colognes that are emore complex and interesting, all of which can be found here on the site as well. Think Absolu, Profondo and Profumo. I'd recommend Clasico de Profondo which is this cologne's flanker.
This is a truly versatile cologne and is suitable for all occasions, locations, and times. It's also quite suitable for women to use as well.
Smells just like Acqua Di Gio but for less then half the price, Also has about the same amount of longevity.
