"Many of them are great Fragances, but this stands out. Hands down the best"
"From the discovery set, I can say 7 out of 10 are okay for me, but IMO Carbon is the more Unique"
"Out of all of the Intelligent fragrances (and I've worn them all), this is easily my favourite. Mainly because it takes me straight back to my days wearing CH Men. It's clearly an iteration on that profile and a great one at that. To summarize the scent, it's based around a warm, yet almost liquid suede accord that doesn't actually smell like leather (ala Tuscan Leather and others), but a dusty spice base that was popular in the late 2000s. It's sweet but not sugary, aromatic but not citrusy, and even has a hint of green grass in the mid giving it some flavour. Also reminds me of Ferragamo's Attimo pour Homme without the spice, Trussardi's My Land without the weird sourness and of course, CH Men Prive without the cardamom. Absolutely love it. Performance is only decent, but the projection is good for the first 2 hours. Plus it's far more versatile than people would think, despite leaning buttoned-up. Any season, any occasion, and even has that "it" factor that I find so appealing. Interestingly, the bottle is slightly shorter and wider than the rest of the collection, but the cap clicks into place and the atomizer isn't pressurized. To an extent, they're all derivative of other fragrances; but this one immediately stood out to me. If you're looking for something closer to Invictus Aqua, go with H20; for Spicebomb, go with Argon. This one just feels more versatile, mature and sexy. Props to Derek and the team for the massive wave of nostalgia, as well as the boost in performance compared to the CH. A great scent overall."
"Good"
"My personal 2nd favorite in the line up. With my favorite being h20, depends on your personal preference. I have bought every fragrance from Derek, all our excellent, but there are some that don't fit my personal profile (that doesn't make them bad)."
"Great scent! I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the cologne. Definitely worth the cash."
"I daily this fragrance because I like it so much. The Intelligent customer service is also amazing. Will be buying again!!"
"It's a sweet and sporty scent. Similar to a bleu but with more spice in the undernote. The dry down has some cedar and citrus that combine nicely. Performance with two sprays is good for a work day. Projection seems average."
"Not too strong or subtle imo. Like to use this when I want something a little longer lasting and more intimate than Iron."
"Smells fantastic!"
