Cobalt is a color with unusual density to it, dense and saturated rather than pastel, and Cobalt Intense Cologne wears that same weight. Violet, plum and bergamot open this Eau de Parfum fruity and slightly powdery, an unusual pairing for a men's fragrance opener. Jasmine, incense and praline crowd the core, an unexpected combination of floral, smoky and sweet all at once. Vanilla, cashmere wood and ambroxan close out a rich, lingering base. Camille Rochelle classifies this Cobalt Intense Eau de Parfum as oriental gourmand, built for evening wear and cold weather where its considerable sweetness can stretch out. Incense sitting directly beside praline is the fragrance's most interesting structural choice, pairing something ecclesiastical and smoky against something bakery-sweet in a way that keeps either extreme from dominating the heart entirely. The incense in the heart is the most interesting player at work, keeping the praline and vanilla from tipping the whole composition into something purely dessert-like, and it holds up as an unusually strong budget alternative to considerably pricier niche gourmands built around similar smoky-sweet contrasts. A single spray at the chest tends to carry comfortably through an entire dinner without needing a midway refresh.
