What does Impact Intense smell like?
Impact Intense opens with a crisp, crunchy red apple note sharpened by bergamot and the lemony, peppery zing of elemi resin. While it starts with a bright flash of fruit, it quickly pivots into a dens...
The general consensus is that this is a significant "step up" in quality and performance compared to the original Impact, with many users considering it the best release from the brand in years.
Performance is frequently cited as a major strength; enthusiasts report that it projects a strong personal bubble and lasts significantly longer than the average designer fragrance, often surviving on clothing for over 24 hours.
While the apple and spice opening draws frequent comparisons to Parfums de Marly Layton, many collectors argue it carves out its own identity through its heavy focus on chestnut and resinous woods rather than being a direct clone.
It is most highly recommended for cool-weather wear, specifically during fall and winter evenings, as the dense sweetness can become overwhelming in high summer heat.
The scent is widely regarded as a "crowd-pleaser" that punches above its weight class, often surprising those who typically overlook designer scents in favor of niche offerings.
