I just got this bottle a couple a days ago. Its very clean smelling and not very strong, but its still great. It doesnt scream barber shop fragrance, but it has that barber shop fougere vibe . A very well put together fragrance. Its got the citrus with a small spicy kick in the dry down. I layered with parfums de marly Sedley today. It went very well. I blind bought this. This is also my first bottle from this house and look forward to many more! Also it has this thing about it where it starts off great, but no fireworks in the drydown. It just doesn't have any spectacular dry down. This is best in summer, but is an all year type of fragrance. Also good layering fragrance with other barber shop fragrances imo.
Nice review. Loved the intergenerational perspectives! I would definitely like to see more of how different age groups view the same fragrance. Very cool 👍🏾
Intensa was my signature scent some years back 👌🏼 It’s very versatile, all year, all occasions fragrance. It’s an EDT concentration, though it says cologne. I wish there were an EDP but sadly there’s not. It’s a 30+ male fragrance.
@@AGentlemansJourney77 I agree. It would be nice with a better longevity cause it’s a fantastic fragrance 👌🏼 I used to decant it and add just 1 drop (to 10 millilitres) of white musk. It gave me 2 hours more and boosted the all over experience of the fragrance.
Know I'm 3 wks late, but would you reccomend 1 over the other between colonia, essensa and intensa? I have tried the colonia and really like it. Much difference between the three?
I would say this one is probably my preferred only because I have a bottle of it now. I'm not super familiar with the other 2 even though I've smelled them but its been a while.
Thanks. Like I said, really like the Colonia. May get the Intensa because I tend to like alot of fragrances that you recommend. That may be a bad thing.🙂
This was a very nice fraggy Waggy. I'm liking so much from Acqua Di Parma now. Going to have to make some purchases. I'm also very happy to get the Rush seal of approval of my channel too 🙏
Every time I smell it, it gives me mafia vibes. 😆 And I luv it. Sour citrus-ginger combo with artemesia and myrrh. Really all I get. For those who didn't like the florals in Essenza, this is the one. Probably the best middle management fragrance AdP has. 😂
This comment was intriguing. Would really love more reviews from you. I'm a fan or woods and citrus. I've not smelled anything from Acqua Di Parma, can I pick this up?
@@290revolver290 Honestly, I think it's not as citrusy or woody as you might think. If you imagine the aromaticity of fresh ginger as Rush mentioned, it's much closer to that. Spicy, aromatic and on the herbal side. Just like with Essenza, I was originally expecting a citrus bomb but this ain't it. I'd stick with Arancia di Capri and Bergamotto di Calabria if that's the vibe you're after. This one is more classy imo, and the herbal thing could take some getting used to. But I absolutely love it with a white shirt and the blending is fabulous. Not challenging, but not a typical citrus-woody. Hope that helps.
@@justaddlight I enjoyed your comments and found them informative. I've been thinking seriously about an ADP Colonia Line blind buy, but I just can't seem to decide on one. I'd like to get something citrusy and "natural smelling" so at the moment I'm leaning towards Colonia Futura. Have you tried that one by chance? Any recommendations you might have would be appreciated. 😊
Hahahaha! I love you, Rush! I'm worried that off camera, someone's getting bitchslapped 😂👌 love the video as always with you guys, I hope you're all having a great day! 😁
@@AGentlemansJourney77 So has the Intensa become your new favorite from the Colonia Line? Does it perform a little better than the other Colonias? Or about the same? 😊

What are your thoughts on this beauty? I ended up getting a bottle of it since I loved it so much.
Chad, I own & love Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa. Alberto Morillas & Francois Demachy worked together and created something terrific.
This is such a terrific scent. I even got a bottle for myself.
Nice review. Loved the intergenerational perspectives! I would definitely like to see more of how different age groups view the same fragrance. Very cool 👍🏾
Rush boomering with the decant bottle @ 3:56 😂😂. May be I smelled it once a time at The Bay , I should smell it again 👍
You ain't wrong there 🤣

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, sir and for watching. Its too bad they don't have an EDP.

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Very solid and versatile frag. Classy for sure.

Fraggy Waggy? 🤔

Could be because you live in the Hamilton area for that mafiaso vibe 😆

He's quite ABUSIVE and angry in his old age 👀🙄😒
@@AGentlemansJourney77 Wait till we get to his age, I worry working in the jobs that we do, that might come sooner than expected! xD
@HeathenScents I'm already a miserable crank cause of my job 🤷
@@AGentlemansJourney77 completely understandable! Eventually I'll get there too, but for now, thankfully I'm not a complete curmudgen! lol
The first AdP that I ever got, and still one of my favorites.
This one just blew me away. I ended up getting a bottle.
@AGentlemansJourney77 I'm almost to the point I need to get a backup bottle.

@@oldiesgeek454 I am not the most familiar with the line up but i'm starting to. Rush has a bottle that we will be reviewing.
Good!!
Very good!
