As always, a fantastic video. You always pick charming down to Earth women, and I must say, you possess the rare ability to step in seamlessly during moments when someone's sharing their opinion, gracefully filling in to prevent any awkward silences and helping them gather their thoughts when they are trying to find the right words to describe their feelings. It’s a truly admirable quality.

Intense smells a bit like Sauvage Elixir to me. The regular Ambassador is more fruity and probably more versatile
@markost.8944Ай бұрын
Think about them as Spring/Summer/Fall for OG and Fall/Winter/Spring for Intense. OG has a great fruity opening and Intense has an amazing drydown full of aromatic freshness. Intense has much better longevity, OG is easier to like by majority. Have both and if i needed to pick one i'd pick Intense because it's drydown is one of my favorite parts of any fragrance. My wife would however pick OG version for me as she prefers less intense fragrances. At the end, they serve different purposes but are both great. Easiest is to just stick with warm(er) - OG and cold(er) - Intense.
