  1. A simple perfume that smells of plastic; very synthetic. The price is ridiculous. It smells nice at night, but that artificial scent is always noticeable. In fact, it gave me a bit of an ADN Carolina Herrera vibe, I don’t recall if it was the VIP, though I think it’s not the same; I own the Adventure.

  2. A fairly simple but lovely scent. It reminds me of the simplicity of Nautica Voyage but feels more complete. I receive many compliments with this fragrance. It is now called Adventure; they simply added French lavender and mint, and it smells even better. Its longevity on skin is around 5 hours, but on clothes it lasts 8 or more. I apply many sprays and it lasts all day at work. Believe me, it is very complimentary, fresh, and rich. I recommend it as an alternative to Nautica Voyage.

    Live Intense and Live Adventure were never the same according to L’Bel. Live Intense was removed from the catalogue a long time ago, and Live Adventure is a new fragrance with totally different notes. The truth is, I feel much better about the new one, as Live Intense was super artificial, like a car scent.

    Update to my previous review: at first it seemed like a good smell, nothing more; not extraordinary but worth it for the price. I’ve had this for two months and have spent a third of the bottle thinking about gifting it. Nothing like the formulation it had when it was called Live Intense; now it is much more woody and amber. Before it was fresher, and now it smells MUUUCH more synthetic. Before I recommended it and it still reminds me a bit of what it was, but in reality, there is something that doesn’t quite please me, and it has even made my head hurt at times because it becomes so heavy and sharp. It is not my style; with this, I have decided that mine is citrus aromatic, not too synthetic for daily use. No more catalogue fragrances; this was a mistake. Fortunately, it is cheap.

    @Jerry7474 Indeed, they changed the bottle and it’s now called Live Adventure; I bought it for 299 pesos (around $18). My opinion: it’s excellent for the price. I disagree with those who criticise it; although it’s a catalogue fragrance, it delivers more than expected, even compared to some designer scents that are ‘fresh’ or ‘reformulated’ but cost double or triple. With weak designer fragrances I apply 10 sprays, and with this one too, but the longevity and projection were much greater than with an Azzaro Chrome or a Versace Pour Homme. Bear in mind it’s synthetic, but it doesn’t smell like cheap perfume. The creator is the same as Nautica Voyage, so you can tell. It offers better performance than Chrome and Versace in terms of longevity and freshness. With 10 sprays you smell clean and good for at least 6 hours. It projects for 2 hours without issues. Goes well with jeans or a white shirt, it doesn’t discriminate. If you don’t want to spend $35 and your budget is tight, it’s a great option. School, work, daytime summer date (that’s how I met my girlfriend two years ago, and she wouldn’t stop saying how good I smelled). Even at the gym, but max 3 sprays because it’s a bit sweet. Ratings: Scent 9/10, Longevity 7/10, Projection 7/10, Overall 8/10. For the price it’s a gem you should try if you’re starting out. Someone aged 16 up to 50 can use it without it sounding odd. It could be called generic, but truly I don’t think you should pay millions for something that smells ‘unique’ and overwhelms you.

    @Jerry7474 Indeed, they changed the presentation and now it is called Live Adventure, and I bought it for 299 Mexican pesos, around 18 dollars. What are my opinions? It is excellent for the price. I disagree with people who have trashed this fragrance; despite being a catalogue item, it gives much more than you could ask for, even compared to some designer scents because they are ‘fresh’ or ‘reformulated’, yet they still cost double or triple what this costs. I even have to apply 10 sprays to certain weak designer fragrances, and I did the same with this one; however, the longevity and performance I received were much greater than what an Azzaro Chrome or a Versace Pour Homme offers. NOTE, not in terms of quality, because it is definitely synthetic, yet it does not smell like cheap perfume. One must remember that the creator of this gem is the same person who created Nautica Voyage, so you can imagine where we are going. I mentioned it offers better performance than Chrome and Versace Pour Homme due to the longevity and the freshness felt in this perfume. Besides, it has something people like: you will smell clean and super good for at least 6 hours applying 10 sprays; it projects for 2 hours without problems and you can wear it with any outfit; it does not discriminate clothing. Are you dressed in denim jeans? It looks super. Are you in a white shirt? Likewise, it looks great. If you are someone who does not want to spend 35 dollars on a cheap designer fragrance and your budget asks you not to spend so much, this is a great option. School, work, a date during the day in summer (that is how I met my current girlfriend two years ago, using this fragrance on a summer afternoon, and she never stopped mentioning how much she liked this scent), even at the gym I would use it, but not more than 3 sprays for that case, as it is slightly sweet due to the fruit and amber. Ratings: Scent 9/10, Longevity 7/10, Projection 7/10, Overall 8/10. For the price, it is a true gem that should be tried if you are just starting a collection or beginning to use perfumes. This can be used by someone aged 16 up to someone aged 50, and the scent will never seem odd. It could be called generic, but truly I do not think you should pay millions for a fragrance that smells ‘unique’, to the point where only you like it and end up overwhelming everyone around you.

    No! It has been reformulated. I remember having several samples of this perfume; my mother works selling L’Bel products, and the truth is it is one of the best fragrances. I used it in the summer of 2017; I loved the woody and fruity accords. I considered it a fruity oriental fragrance, and now that I have it again, I realise they changed the name and yes, it has been reformulated. I notice it is fresher. I expected those woody notes, but now they are subtler and I sense citrus accords. This is the first time this has happened to me with a perfume.

  8. “LIVE INTENSE” by L’Bel changed its name and presentation; it is now called “LIVE ADVENTURE”. This fragrance is an absolute hit. There are colleagues who mention it does not perform or offers very little, which seems strange to me, because every time I use it, it is one of the fragrances that gives me the most compliments. I do not know what it is, because in fact, it does not seem to me to be such an outstanding fragrance either, but truly wherever I go I receive a ‘what a rich smell… which fragrance are you using?’ etc. Regarding reformulation, nothing; it remains the same scent. Regarding performance also, it is very good; for me, it projects well for 2 hours, and in the third hour, although it drops, it is still easily perceived by those nearby. It is one of the fragrances that are truly a 4×4 battlehorse, and besides, its price is risible. I have been forced to acquire two more of this, as it truly never fails me, whether at the gym, in the office, or even on dates. It is a scent that is very well received by women; perhaps men do not consider it the great fragrance, but women love it. So for compliments: 10. For performance: Good, 3 hours. Longevity: 6 hours. Highly recommended.

    They should add more from L’Bel. I have some very good ones despite being catalogue. Please, how is it done to add more L’Bel fragrances?

    They should include more L’Bel scents. I own several excellent ones despite them being catalogue fragrances. How do they manage to include more L’Bel fragrances?

  11. I have it, and it is a fresh, intense, and very green scent with little fruity notes. Its opening is intense and very strong; sometimes it can even give you an allergy or make you dizzy due to the strength of its green and fruity notes at the start; however, after a while, its amber and musk become more noticeable, leaving a strong and green tone on the skin that lasts a long time. Its scent is not novel; indeed, it smells common and has a tendency towards other L’Bel fragrances, but it fulfils and is rich. But if you are bothered by feeling your fragrance might be somewhat synthetic, better not to buy it. Longevity is super good, like all L’Bel perfumes; trail is good for the first hour and then leaves a clean and strong aura for another 3 to 4 hours. Due to its intensity, it is long-lasting. Very suitable for sunny days, without over-applying; two or three sprays are sufficient. Perfect for quick trips to the supermarket, morning errands, going to see a football match in the mid-morning, but I do not recommend it for formal outings or a first date. For its price, it is a good fragrance and its longevity and trail are good (depends much on the person, of course); but it is not too innovative a perfume, and in its opening, it can feel synthetic. After a couple of hours, its scent turns into a rich and well-defined essence, as L’Bel has always done in its intense perfumes. 8/10 value for money.

    A fragrance of an ambient type for cars. It smells like Glade Car. It is a somewhat fresh, fruity, and very artificial synthetic scent. It seems a bit like Nautica Voyage in terms of being synthetic, and it is the same perfumer creator. For heat, it seems acceptable if you buy it at a price of 15 dollars. It lasts a couple of hours projecting; I give it a 6 overall.

    Offers little for the price. Scent too synthetic and longevity ephemeral. They say they’re cheap, but upon analysis, they’re expensive: how many sprays do you need for it to project and last? How many times a day do you have to reapply? About 3 or 4 times, so by the time you finish one designer bottle, you’ve finished three or four catalogue ones and spent the same or more, ending up smelling like cheap perfume. It was a bad purchase. Of the 5 I have from L’Bel, I only recommend the Signature and the Bleu Supreme.

    Smells cheap and fades instantly. Even though it’s marketed as budget-friendly, you end up spending more because you have to reapply every three or four hours for it to be noticeable. In the end, you buy three or four from the catalogue and it smells just like a designer fragrance, only worse. From the L’bel line, I only keep Signature and Bleu Supreme.

  15. A hidden gem in the catalogues. I tried it three years ago and loved it: it’s watery, fresh, and fruity with good projection. I gave away the second bottle because I had a habit of buying expensive brands, but this smells better than many designer scents. Buy it blind if you catch it on offer; ideal for extreme heat. Highly recommended.

  16. I tried it yesterday and it smells lovely and light. Nothing groundbreaking, but it delivers. The price is a bit high for a catalogue fragrance, although L’bel has improved both the quality and the packaging significantly. If you ask me which is my favourite, it’s Devos Magnetic; you must try it.

  17. A very cheap catalogue fragrance that smells great and lasts. It endures for six to eight hours, projecting strongly for the first two or three. The quality-to-price ratio is ten out of ten.

    Smells wonderful, but it’s a shame that the longevity and projection are so poor.

    Live Intense by L’Bel: It’s not a failure nor a seducer that turns heads, but it smells good. Although it suffers from being a bit old-fashioned, it has a serious charm. I like it for the office or meetings with friends; it could also work for dates. Important note: every time I wear it, several women compliment me, so it’s worth it. It’s honest in its aroma. Scent: 8.0, Projection: 2 hours, Longevity: 5 hours. Performs well in the heat. Recommended.

  21. At first, I thought it was simple and didn’t make much of an impression, but with time I’ve come to appreciate it more. It’s fresh, masculine and elegant. The longevity is good; you don’t notice it until others tell you how nice you smell. For the price and scent, it’s highly recommended for everyday wear.

    Greetings from Panama. I bought this today blind based on YouTube reviews and it has completely fascinated me. Very fresh and pleasant. It lasted 12 hours; at first it smells strong like most perfumes, but it held up for ages. It’s very hot in Panama and I was surprised it didn’t fade. Good price too, here it costs $20. Give it a try, it’s delicious.

  23. Like in any relationship, you have to give it chances. I tried it again and it was better, though it remains faint, barely on the skin and clothes. It smells of soft lemon with a touch of talc. It’s for sniffing on your shirt or for an intimate, relaxed date. I wouldn’t buy it again.

  24. I sprayed it twice and it was a disappointment. It smells of water and alcohol with an acidic citrus note that stings my skin. From then on, nothing. It smells like nothing. I’m hoping for some chemical miracle… I’m not bitter, but don’t buy it blind like I did. Greetings.

    Smells good, it’s masculine yet fresh and soft. A fruity and herbal blend with a light wood and amber base that feels pleasant and easy to wear. Ideal for the office: projects to an arm’s length without being overpowering. Perfect for everyday use, formal but modern. Longevity is around four hours. YezusPerfumo

    I was gifted this in EDT. It’s fresh with a very rich heart. It subtly reminds me of a mix of 212, Aqua di Gio, and Zara’s Vibrant Leather, but with more lemon. Ideal for summer or sunny spring days, for informal outings or even daily wear. Quite good with moderate longevity. A very good option for the price and quality. Recommended.

    Very good fragrance, fresh and long-lasting. Easily lasts around ten hours, projecting for four hours in my case.
