* Strong and heady mix of fresh, sweet, fruit, and spicy aromas
* Excellent clone of Azzaro Wanted/Invictus Aqua
* Strong performer
* Very affordable
* High quality bottle
* Sapil is not as well known as other UAE fragrance houses
* Beaten to the market by other Invictus Aqua style clones
Sapil Intense for men is aptly named, a very strong blend of fresh, sweet and spicy aromas. The immediate thought that comes to mind as evidenced by posters below is that it's an Invictus Aqua clone. I actually own Invictus Aqua and can tell you that it is indeed quite close, but it is in fact far closer to Azzaro's Wanted. To be honest, this is true of all alleged "Invictus Aqua clones" but nobody really ever considers this because A.) Invictus Aqua was a highly popular, successful and now discontinued cologne that still holds a lot of mindshare and B.) Azzaro's Wanted is overshadowed by the far more popular and successful Most Wanted and Wanted By Night flankers and has no mindshare.
Regardless of which fragrance you believe it's cloning, Sapil Intense is quite a strong performer. It has very good projection, sillage and longevity. Sapil is a UAE fragrance house and to be fair all UAE houses are known for their quality and performance for the most part and this is no exception.
The major hit against it is that Sapil seems to be a fairly new house with just a few well-regarded products on the market that are almost always sold out, which makes them all very hard to find. They have already established a reputation for high quality in just a very short time and have a runaway clone hit in Bound for Men which is making waves the same way the very successful Asad has done for Lattafa. I found both Intense for Men and Intense Noir for Men purely by luck at a Marshall's/Winners discount store here in Toronto for a steal of a price at just $CDN 20 each and have never seen them anywhere else. There was no way I was going to pass them up.
This is good for all seasons and leans younger. Very good for casual wear, festive occasions, leisure activities, and school and office wear. Might be a bit much and unsuitable for formal occasions due to the sweetness and strong projection.
