Franck Olivier Eau De Passion Men Intense is their entry into the blue "freshie" market, a refreshing and aromatic cross between a blue "freshie" and an aromatic fougere. It's a clean and uplifting blend of citrus, herbal, spicy and powder aroma. The citrus opening is strong and the drydown is clean and soapy. Performance is good, a welcome return to form after Pure Addiction which was a weak performer.

This is a good performer and a great value at its price. It gives designer level quality for discounter price. The bottle presentation is beautiful as well. It's not unisex because of the aromatic fougere notes and has a lot of competition in the blue "freshie" arena. This is an underrated and overlooked gem that should really be given a chance by those who love freshies and fougeres.
