    This is actually a really good fragrance. The longevity and silliage are above average. Its a very fancy smelling woods that seems to get a good amount of compliments. More recently, Zegna has released Colonia which in my opinion, is a more sweet version of Intenso. If I had to recommend one of the two, it would be for sure Intenso. Not exactly something I could wear everyday though. Special occasions for sure though.

    Clayton nailed it; this really is a pile of fruity-ambery nonsense - the kind of stuff that is not in itself objectionable, but that is -- as a design statement -- lamentable once you appreciate how mechanical, cynical and uninspired this school of perfumery of the last decade is. Like its other synthetic robot-clone fruity-ambery brethren (Boss Selection, I'm looking at you), its nuclear-powered fruity-ambery heart beats insistently on for hours and hours, slowly deadening your sense of smell (and possibly your brain) with waves of harsh, thin, saccharine-sweet unpleasantness. Please don't compare this chemical munitions dump to a masterpiece like Brit, which actually shows bags of thoughtfulness and character. Ugh!

    The Armani Code comparisons are spot on. This smells very similar to Code if slightly more feminine due to the increased intensity. I'd go with Code.

    The first splash doesn't really say much about it, besides that it's something fresh.
    After while it becomes a classy sweet but discreet and warm fragrance
    you might not mind wearing if you get it as a gift.
    I don't get which is the INTENSO part of this fragrance so I'td rather recommend Essenza di Zegna!

    I must say I do like this stuff, however as Sir Slarty had mentioned something that really stuck out to me "rich amber base". I found that I really like amber. It's a very calming, very smooth scent that adds life. But the amber coupled with vanilla makes it a bit too sweet for me. Pardon me for a moment... Hey Zegna! strip that vanilla out of there and I would go buy a bottle right now. I digress! I will have to admit because of this fact I do prefer polo black over this. They both follow the same lines but where that sweet smoothness of intenso gets to become somewhat of a bother to me, the sharpness of polo black carries itself over. Now for the plus points. Intenso is very well executed, the light and dark theme they are going for has been mission accomplished. Great longevity, lasted on my skin for about 8-10 hours but the only thing I smell at that point is the vanilla and amber before mentioned.

    Doesn't smell bad. But not nearly as interesting as either Code or Lolita Lempicka. I'll wear it, but I won't buy it again. Go with Code for more spice and LL for more floral. Zegna Intenso is both of those, minus what makes them interesting.
