Smells great!  If it only lasted beyond a few hours....
I consider myself to be a cologne snob.  I like good cologne and I am not afraid to spend good money for it.<br /><br />So, when I see something like Intense Energy available for about a quarter less in price than what most good colognes cost, I become a bit suspicious as to its shortcomings.<br /><br />This fragrance is inspired by Polo Red Cologne.  I am familiar with Polo (I used to wear it in the 80s), and the aroma does have hints of that brand's scent.  It smells pretty good.  It's not overpowering.<br /><br />The problem is, it just doesn't last.  I put on a hefty dose of 4 sprays across my neck and clothing.  The scent had faded within an hour or two.  By the end of an 8 hour workday, I couldn't even smell the scent on my clothing, or when I rubbed my finger across my neck.<br /><br />Obviously, this is a cologne geared more towards affordability than lasting scent.  If you don't mind carrying it with you all day and re-applying it when needed, it won't be a bad purchase decision.
