Bad Intense EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Valuable Stick chases Mancera's Gold Intensive Aoud - that opulent rose-saffron-and-oud signature over musky woods. Wearers rate the dupe close to the original, opulent and far from harsh, though it loses a little of Mancera's famous projection. A refined, affordable rosy-oud for those who love the Mancera house style.
Diesel Bad Intense is a surprisingly controversial scent that punches well above its weight in terms of performance and uniqueness. Polarising for sure, but a standout choice if you're chasing compliments and unafraid of its bold, savoury edge.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The rosy-saffron-oud and musky woods are most at home in autumn, winter and cooler spring days, while staying wearable thanks to the fresh opening.
Occasions
A refined, opulent rosy-oud that suits evenings, dates and formal wear, with enough polish for smart daily use.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its immense sillage and longevity make it inappropriate for the office, but perfect for dates and nights out where its warm, spicy, and sensual character can shine. It's a casual evening scent, perhaps, but too dominant for formal events or sport.
