I don’t hate it, but once the opening fades, the appeal is gone for me.Įau Intense is a summertime workhorse. It smells fine, at that point, but is pretty weak with its sillage. Once it has dried down, I’m not that enthralled with Forever. Violet leaf and vetiver with some musk to boot. I really do enjoy that opening act with the grapefruit note.Īfter that, it becomes a greener and woodsier scent and the grapefruit becomes just another part of the composition. Light Blue Forever is the new kid on the block and has already made a name for itself. Both of them have their strengths and are enjoyable in their own right. This is a close call to which of these two fragrances I prefer. Forever does have a slight edge in when and where it can be worn. It’s a pretty close race and there is plenty of overlap. I do think that Forever, is the better of the two with how it can fit into those sorts of semi-formal circumstances in comparison to Eau Intense. They can both go casual and can fit in, for an office environment. Between these two, Eau Intense clearly has the better performance.īoth of these fragrances are best in the summertime. However, Light Blue Eau Intense gets me around 9 hours of wear, with a better ability to project. It gets me just over 7 hours of wear, with the first couple being in its moderate strength. While, Forever isn’t the best with how it projects, it actually does stick to the skin for quite a while in this lighter state. You get a few hours of solid performance, then it will be a lighter cologne. It never hits the same heights as Eau Intense and much of the wear will be spent near skin scent level. Though, it does settle and become much more of a moderate fragrance for the rest of the wear.įorever opens up with that nice grapefruit burst, though it’s pretty moderate as a whole. That first hour or so, it is certainly possible to overspray and take over a room. Light Blue Eau Intense starts off pretty powerfully and it has the ability to project itself pretty far from the skin. That grapefruit note, while not my favorite aroma in the world, is absolutely great in just how much like the real thing it smells like. Which is better? I enjoy both, but I think that Forever has the better start to things. Beneath that, is a blue-green ozonic accord that adds a watery freshness, and the ever-increasing violet leaf. That’s it’s main attraction and it smells much more realistic and fresh versus the one found in the rest of the series. Light Blue Forever also starts with a grapefruit note. The juniper and amberwood in Eau Intense give it very fresh profile, that is great to spray on during the summer. You pick up aquatic elements of sea and pool water. It is slightly salty but not really oceanic, more like sitting by a hotel pool, while on an island. The main difference from the original is the inclusion of an aquatic accord. In its place, I pick up a light juniper note. It doesn’t have the peppery accord of the original. The scent has a chilly aroma, as the grapefruit note is ‘frozen’. It kicks things off as a citrus scent with its mix of grapefruit and mandarin orange.
