How close do they smell?

They come from the same Club de Nuit line and both punch far above their price, but they smell quite different. Intense Man is the icon: fruity pineapple and blackcurrant with a smoky birch edge, in the direction of Creed Aventus, and it projects like a beast for 10 to 12 hours. Sillage goes the fresh route, citrus and a watery-floral airiness over soft incense and musk, in the direction of Creed Silver Mountain Water, cleaner and more versatile for daytime and warm weather. Choose Intense Man for a bold, complimented statement; Sillage for an easy, fresh everyday scent.
