King Intense Review | Parfums Vintage

[@FRAGMENTAL]

***FULL DISCLOSURE - I DID NOT PAY FOR THIS FRAGRANCE. IT WAS CONJURED BY MAGIC BUT REST ASSURED ALL OPINIONS ARE COMPLETELY MY OWN***

[@frankies9049]

FRAG-MENTAL This one smells different than club the nuit?

[@chefleosanchez]

Your channel has always been produced perfectly, even having 2K subscribers. This was no neatly made, that I subscribed right away. It takes a lot of time, money and effort, besides the info you give away... it is greatly appreciated, thanks bro.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Leo that's so cool of you to show your appreciation. I'm so happy that my content is of value to you. It does take time and effort but I enjoy it immensely. Still it's always lovely when people take the time to let me know they've enjoyed it. Thank you ☺

[@joeyswaney8497]

I have Parfums Vintage Beyond Noir (Super Smokey version of Aventus). I layer it with Club de Nuit Intense by Armaf. It's a smokey sweet mix that I really like. The smokey versions were supposedly the original smell of Creed's Aventus. I have had several samples and small decants of Aventus and it is absolutely amazing. I completely understand what you were saying about finding the next fragrance to "blow your mind". There have been dozens of times I was blown away by a fragrance. Of course after smelling something that resets the bar it is hard to top it. Aventus reset the bar as did Tom Fords Oud Wood, Roja Creation E, Parfums de Marly Herod and Amouage Interlude man for me. Well nice video sir. Keep them coming.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks for the info! We must have very similar tastes because I adore all the fragrances you mentioned!

[@88Brunobarbosa]

Love the pineapple note but truly hate the musk in Creed Aventus :/

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I guess not everyone can like it. Maybe PV will release a reduced musk version 🤣

[@AllAboutFragrance]

LMAO that Jeremy spin🤣 great review brother.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Haha thanks brother 👍

[@huzidamasta]

To my nose, both King and King Intense smell identical to Armaf CDNIM. It confuses me that no one's mentioned this before..

[@alltheway99]

And armaf is 30eur

[@michaeljazo3970]

Just a shot in the dark here, but could it be that Parfums (VI)ntage King Intense is a play on words and inspired by the recent release of Creed Vi(KING?) PVI is described as Woody/Fruity where Creed Viking is Wood/Citrus and Viking is created on the success of Aventus' profile.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I wanna try it and have a blessed day

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Have a great day too Michael. Thanks for tuning in 👍

[@jasonmordecai8212]

Great video mate, but my original 2016 Aventus doesn’t last long on my skin at all which I am gutted about so I only use it on chosen occasions. I have thought about trying King intense but I’ve got Rainier’s Crystal Rain which is almost identical to the fruity 2016 batch we own. If you’ve not tried it give it a try, or even that house.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks mate. Love the Renier perfumes and I agree that Crystal Rain is similar to Aventus. I adore Kisses Rain!

[@jasonmordecai8212]

Kisses Rain has been my frag for this summer and I wrote it wrongly it is Renier. Keep up the vids man I’m enjoying them

[@kingofvic]

May 28, 2019, I ordered 4 different bottles as blind buy base on review and received a corfirmation order. After 10 days of waiting I received an email saying I had to buy samples first (which is expensive) before they can dispatch my orders. I have never experienced this kind of "weird policy" before from any other fragrance store.They say it is in their terms and condition before checkout which I could not find in their almost bare and plain website. I asked them to send a screenshot of this "sampling policy" but they never did. Parfums Vintage should make this clear for the customers to avoid wasting peoples time.

[@EkoTube]

Zulfikar Sali do they still do that ?

[@trinity6030]

Great review as always Chris, I had a 2015 Aventus which I absolutely loved and when my bottle finally died last year I bought a replacement and I was so disappointed as performance was dismal, like you I like the balanced version but also look for excellent performance so King Intense could be a great replacement for me.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks TS. I think it's meant to be a little heavier on the birch. That may be so compared to some batches but yes it was nicely balanced for me 👍

[@owenross1289]

Hi Chris, thanks for the review once again. I’ve just been over to their website and found that I’ll need £100 for 100ml inc postage with a ten day turnaround. Then when it arrives I’m going to have to pony up a further £28 in customs charges. Hmmm. £128 for a clone? Reckon I’ll stick with Perfume Parlour where you sent me earlier in the year. Same scent without spending the rent. Cheers from a fellow Lanc. Keep on sniffing!

[@cliftonhough5768]

Really love this fragrance. Personally I get better performance from Pineapple Vintage Intense but I chose to buy both for slightly different occasions. The new Vanilla Intense sounds like an interesting flanker as well.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yeh I guess it's good to have slightly different versions of a scent that is so good 👍

[@beefbroth6539]

I had a small heart attack when you dropped that bottle...

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Hehe, don't worry it only dropped into my other hand 😉

[@will_homme_ig8359]

I can tell the difference only through the texture on my skin. I also own a 2016 Aventus and King intense. I think King intense performance slightly better with projection but Aventus beats it in Longevity it almost feels like it’s wax on my neck. (Maybe the ambergris in Aventus) my Favorite is Vanilla intense. Great video btw!!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks! Vanilla Intense is excellent!

[@michaellynady7271]

I enjoy king intense as well. I feel it's balance will be perfect for the cooler weather. They have 2 new releases out now - actually getting mine tomorrow - King is supposed to be a brighter King Intense and Vanilla intense which is pretty much self described. Both are getting positive reviews. I'm sure you'll be getting yours soon. Vanilla intense is supposed to be incredible and king is supposed to be the most refined product from PV yet

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I've been testing them the last few days. Review coming soon!

[@michaellynady7271]

@@FRAGMENTAL can we get a hint? I don't want to wait until tomorrow lol

[@michaellynady7271]

@@FRAGMENTAL I'm looking forward to your take on Vanilla Intense - I received mine and it's color is lighter than 2 other reviewer's and I'm definitely not getting the extra vanilla kick they are. You mentioned in this video about the PV owner telling you about a few weeks maturation for KI & I'm wondering if it's going to be the same with VI. Thanks again

[@PAULY-P]

Good video man. Good house for sure. I like most of their colognes. The only issue i have is it takes up to 2 wks to get your order. But worth the wait because they are cheap priced and some are better than the originals.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Pauly, yes to me the quality seems very high 👍

[@Longshore79]

Parfums vintage is stepping up their game. Orders now take about a week to receive.

[@PAULY-P]

Nicky T Yes, i just ordered my 2nd bottle of Rush Of Unicorns on Monday and the delivery date is tomarrow/Friday. 👍

[@Richard-rp6ns]

Pauly P unicorns better than king intense?

[@vt248]

Copy cats😑 *checks tracking on my order of it*

[@RagnarHoff]

Have you tried Frapin-The Orchid Man? Take Aventus without the Pineapple and that's Orchid Man for you. it still has some sweetness to it with the bergamot though. Definitely worth a try. Aventus is 435$. Orchid Man 195$.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

No I've never tried it!

[@RagnarHoff]

A safe bet as the fruity note is smooth and well balanced. Not overpowering like some of the fruity batches of Aventus are.

[@oliverwollaston541]

Thanks for the review! May have to wait for a follow up review....however how does King Intense compare to King and Vanilla Intense? Thanks again

[@FRAGMENTAL]

You're welcome. I shot this before I received King and Vanilla Intense. I'm still testing but they're very good!

[@oliverwollaston541]

FRAG-MENTAL Thanks! I'll look out for the review!

[@Hititup2121]

Great video man, I got try this fragrance out. I never smell creed aventus yet .I hope you have a great day.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Oh man you gotta get your nose on the King!

[@AnthonyyVanessa_]

You are a great reviewer. Mad props!! Thanks for doing this. It takes time to do. I do video editing, and that alone is time consuming. You, BBB, Redolessen, tiff, and Carlos, are my go to reviewers. I like Cuba too, but he is a little crazy. His review ms are on point as well.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks for being appreciative of the time it takes, though I do enjoy it. I love all those reviewers and really trust their views 👍

[@chriscampos7217]

Really great review, CDNI limited is pretty close too.

[@andrewxavier3173]

Similar to you, i love a balance aventus batches. I agree with you in the sense after a while i would forget how wonderful aventus smelled like, especially the first time. Good review as always!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Andrew! Yes sometimes I find I've not worn it in a while as we are always hearing about Aventus. Then when I do wear it I'm reminded again why it get's so much hype!

[@googlephone8353]

Love the channel, Chris! Quick question, have you had the chance to smell Dolce and Gabbana The One Mysterious Night (not the royal night flanker)? They don't have it in the states yet, but I noticed that they have it at John Lewis in the UK. Just wondering your opinion on it! Thanks!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I've not but I'm dying to! I noticed it at Geneva airport a few weeks ago but they didn't have a tester. I'll get to JL and check it out as The One is one of my favourites!

[@robberreduk]

Interesting! I keep seeing this company popping up, but I got CDNI and previously Pure Insurrection so cheap I've not looked further. Recently found someone who decants creed to see if I can test them against each other on a 2018 batch. Thanks for the review from a fellow Yorkshireman 👍

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Ah good to have some Yorkshire in the house. I'm actually originally from Lancashire but I live in York. You could try Parfums Vintage samples too so you can compare everything!

[@pochulito]

What about emperor extrait vs aventus ?

Thanks mate. Yeh drench yourself in La Nuit for a month then you'll be good 👍😉

[@jcf4548]

*Nice spin, been practicing all day and haven't pulled it off yet, did turn into superman once tho.* 😋

Haha! If you can turn into Superman I'd say that better than turning pineapple into a fragrance 👍

[@simodthebod4256]

Nice review as always! 👍🏽 How do you compare it to Dua 13zz mate?

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thank you. Both very good. In the opening 13zz is a touch smokier whereas KI has brighter fruit accords. They become very similar in the dry down but KI seems to have a bit more depth to it.

[@simodthebod4256]

[@justenrey8972]

Great review bro, I definitely agree with your take, King intense is good but I do like vanilla intense allot better, great for the fall. Parfums vintage has some great ones lately. I honestly don't care for the older batches of aventus as well, it's just wayyyy to thick and the smoke honestly made me gauge and I literally had to scrub it lol but I have a 2016 batch and love it. Great video as always bro, take care

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks a lot Justin. Yeh I'm wearing vanilla intense right now and really enjoying it!

[@dextercharles5084]

This was such a great on depth review. Like the side by side of 3 fragrance vs king intense. I own pineapple vintage intense and agree is more of a original creation more than a clone. I've heard king intense is the best in terms of balance but they do have 2 more releases that just dropped: Vanilla Intense & King...Built in content for at least 2 more reviews haha.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Dexter, I'm testing Vanilla Intense and King right now so my opinion will be coming soon!

[@alltheway99]

So king intense over pineapple Vintage Intense??? Because I think PV intense is better the Creed Aventus...

[@Guinea54]

Thanks for ur review.. i have pineapple vin intense and really like it... I need to try this kings intense version.. I hear most people saying they prefer the pv intense for some reason.. If anyone has a decant for swap hit me up

[@FRAGMENTAL]

You're welcome. I guess it depends in whether you like the pineapple more prominent or not. I'm sure there'll be fans of each version PV release.

true,, i can only know if i try it tho. Thanks for the review

Can only put it down to a bad batch. All my other parfums vintage are excellent, it's only this one that I have the problem with

[@mypointofview5638]

So because of your recommendations aventus is gonna become the niche sauvage ie too common

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Well I'd love to take credit but I don't think my little channel is that big of a deal. Have lovely day 😃

[@lDWEllA]

mypoint ofview no it won't because who as an average guy is looking and buying clones ? Hardly anyone. Only the ones that watch these reviews which compared to the masses is like no one lol. 99% of guys just walk into the mall and buy what's on the counter it's a very very small percentage of guys that buy aventus or even no about it in real life. I'm 40 yrs old and I have never met anyone wearing aventus or anyone that even nos about it or even nos what a niche fragrance is.

[@brightstarlavandula3028]

[@stomorevs]

Club de Nuit Intense is all a man needs. Forget all other clones of Aventus. Shoot, forget about Aventus!!

[@Electronic424]

no way! you'll realize how silly that is if you ever try Aventus. CDNIM smells like floor cleaner in comparison

[@stomorevs]

QuickMix Tell yourself whatever you need to justify paying hundreds of dollars for Aventus. CDNIM smells amazing, and absolutely nothing like floor cleaner. I have indeed tested Aventus. I was blown away by how similar it smelled to CDNIM!!

[@Electronic424]

You disrespect Aventus by saying 'forget about it', but CDNIM wouldn't exist without Aventus, show some respect to a groundbreaking fragrance. I am an amateur perfumer and know the differences like night and day, and I know quality when I smell it. And it's not subtle, there are enormous differences to my nose. And to people like me price doesn't matter that much, it's a weak argument. I'd even say Aventus is a better value based on quality.

[@stomorevs]

QuickMix So they replaced one aroma-chemical for another in CDNIM. Big whoop! After the scent dies down they smell exactly the same. I’m just an average guy, and I think most men are like me: not concerned at all with the minutiae of a fragrance and are unwilling to spend 100s to smell great. If there’s a difference in the dry down of Aventus vs. CDNIM, it’s immensely subtle, and virtually undetectable if smelled in the air. You’re right, though, Aventus should be respected as the “original.” However, it shouldn’t be worshipped and revered and put on a pedestal as the “king.” That’s dumb (not saying you did this). I respect Creed for introducing this scent, but I’m glad other companies are making it affordable to the general public, without sacrificing much of what made the original so great. Sure, if your sniffing the crap out of some test strips or your wrists, trying to compare the two fragrances side by side, your probably gonna notice differences in the beginning. But, even then, the overall impression (when smelling them uncritically) will be the same. That’s why I say "FUGGITABOUTIT!" 😜

[@Electronic424]

The ignorance is real, one aroma chemical? You should know the average perfume has 60+ aroma chemicals, not including the hundreds essential oils contain, and you think Aventus is one aroma chemical different? I think I wasted my time arguing with you... I'm not angry, just confounded by your blatant ignorance and pretending to know things you don't.
