A simple perfume that smells like plastic, very synthetic. The price is ridiculous. At night it smells nice, but that artificial scent is always noticeable. In fact, it gave me a bit of the DNA of a Carolina Herrera, I don’t remember if it was the VIP, though I think it’s not the same one; I own the Adventure.

A fairly simple but rich aroma. It reminds me of the simplicity of Nautica Voyage but more complete. I get many compliments with this fragrance. Now it’s called Adventure; they just added French lavender and mint, and it smells even better. Its longevity on skin is 5 hours, but on clothes it reaches 8 or more. I wear many sprays and it lasts the whole workday. Believe me, it’s very complimentary, fresh, and rich. I recommend it as an alternative to Nautica Voyage.
Jaime Ramírez
Live Intense and Live Adventure were never the same according to L’Bel. Live Intense was removed from the catalog long ago, and Live Adventure is a new fragrance with totally different notes. Honestly, I feel much better about the new one, since Live Intense was super artificial, like a car scent.

Update to my previous review: at first it seemed like a good smell, nothing more; it’s not extraordinary, but for the price it was worth it. I’ve had this for 2 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’s 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’s something that doesn’t fully please me, and it even gave me a headache at some point because it gets so heavy and sharp. It’s not my style; with this, I’ve decided that mine is citrus aromatic, not too synthetic for daily use. No more catalog fragrances; this was a mistake. Luckily, it’s cheap.

@Jerry7474 You’re right, they changed the bottle and now it’s called Live Adventure; I bought it for 299 pesos (about $18). My take: it’s amazing for the price. I disagree with the critics; even though it’s a catalog scent, it delivers more than expected, outperforming some designer scents that are ‘fresh’ or ‘reformulated’ but cost double or triple. With weak designer fragrances, I need 10 sprays, and with this one too, but the longevity and projection were much better than with Azzaro Chrome or Versace Pour Homme. Note: it’s synthetic, but it doesn’t smell like cheap perfume. The creator is the same as Nautica Voyage, so you get the idea. It offers better performance than Chrome and Versace regarding longevity and freshness. With 10 sprays, you smell clean and good for at least 6 hours. Projects for 2 hours without issues. Works with jeans or a white shirt, no discrimination. 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 for 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. Anyone from 16 to 50 can wear it without it sounding weird. It could be called generic, but honestly, I don’t think you should pay millions for something that smells ‘unique’ and suffocates you.
Richard Tenorio
No! It has been reformulated. I remember having several samples of this perfume; my mother sells L’Bel products, and honestly, it’s 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 realize they changed the name and yes, it has been reformulated. I notice it’s fresher. I was expecting those woody notes, but now they are subtler, and I feel citrus accords. This is the first time this has happened to me with a perfume.

“LIVE INTENSE” by L’Bel changed its name and presentation, now it’s called “LIVE ADVENTURE”. This fragrance is an absolute hit. There are colleagues who mention it doesn’t perform or offers very little, which seems strange to me, because every time I use it, it’s one of the fragrances that gives me the most compliments. I don’t know what it is, because in fact it doesn’t seem like an outstanding fragrance to me either, but truly wherever I go I receive a “what a rich smell… which fragrance are you using?” etc. Regarding reformulation, nothing, it’s still the same scent. Regarding performance too, it’s very good; for me it projects well for 2 hours, and the third hour although it drops, it’s still easily perceived by those nearby. It’s one of the fragrances that are truly a 4×4 battlehorse, and besides, its price is ridiculous. I’ve been forced to buy 2 more of this, because truly it has never failed me, whether at the gym, at the office, or even on dates. It’s a scent that is very well received by women; maybe men don’t think it’s the great fragrance, but women love it. So for compliments: 10. For performance: Good, 3 hours. Longevity: 6 hours. Highly recommended.
Pablo Slender
They should include more L’Bel scents. I own several excellent ones despite them being catalog fragrances. How do they make it so they don’t include more L’Bel options?
Pablo Slender
They should add more from L’Bel. I have some very good ones despite being catalog. Please, how do you make it so that more L’Bel fragrances are added?

I have it, and it’s a fresh, intense, and very green aroma with 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, with time 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; in fact, it smells common and has a tendency towards other L’Bel fragrances, but it delivers and is rich. But if you are bothered by feeling that your fragrance can be somewhat synthetic, better not to buy it. Longevity is super good, like all L’Bel perfumes, good trail 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 good for sunny days, without over-applying; with two or three sprays it is enough. Perfect for quick trips to the supermarket, morning errands, going to see a football game in the mid-morning, but I don’t recommend it for formal outings or a first date. Due to its price, it’s a good fragrance and its longevity and trail are good (depends a lot on the person, of course); but it’s 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 type of ambient fragrance for cars. Smells like Glade Car. It’s a somewhat fresh, fruity, and very artificial synthetic scent. It seems a bit like Nautica Voyage in terms of being synthetic, and it’s the same perfumer creator. For heat, it seems acceptable if you buy it for 15 dollars. It lasts a couple of hours projecting; I give it a 6 overall.
LUIS HEINSTEIN
Offers little for the price. Scent is too synthetic and longevity is fleeting. They say they’re cheap, but upon closer analysis, they’re expensive: how many sprays do you need to project and last? How many times a day do you have to reapply? About 3 or 4 times, so while you finish one designer bottle, you go through three or four catalog ones and spend the same or more, ending up smelling like cheap perfume. It was a bad purchase. Out of the 5 L’Bel scents I own, I only recommend Signature and Bleu Supreme.
LUIS HEINSTEIN
Smells cheap and fades instantly. Even though it’s marketed as budget-friendly, you end up spending more because you have to reapply every 3 or 4 hours just to make it noticeable. In the end, you buy three or four catalog scents that smell just like a designer fragrance but worse. From the L’bel line, I only stick with Signature and Bleu Supreme.
NATHANOJ
A hidden gem in the catalog. 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 already had a habit of buying expensive brands, but this smells better than many designer scents. Buy it blind if you catch it on sale; perfect for extreme heat. Highly recommended.
Brya4mer
I tried it yesterday and it smells nice and light. Nothing groundbreaking, but it delivers. The price is a bit high for a catalog fragrance, though L’bel has improved both the quality and packaging significantly. If I had to pick my favorite, it’s Devos Magnetic—you have to try it.
Lucafipa
A very cheap catalog fragrance that smells great and lasts. It holds up for 6 to 8 hours, projecting strongly for the first 2 or 3. The quality-to-price ratio is a perfect 10.
SergioV2606
Smells really good, but it’s a shame that the longevity and projection are so poor.

Live Intense by L’Bell: It’s not a failure, nor is it seductive or record-breaking, but it smells good. Although it doesn’t follow current trends, it has a serious charm. I wear it to the office or meetings, and it even works for dates. Fun fact: every time I wear it, women compliment me. It’s honest and worth it. Scent: 8.0, Projection: 2 hours, Longevity: 5 hours. Recommended.

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 dated, it has a serious charm. I like it for the office or meetings with friends; it could work for dates too. Important note: every time I wear it, several women compliment me, so it’s worth it. It’s honest in its scent. Scent: 8.0, Projection: 2 hours, Longevity: 5 hours. Performs well in heat. Recommended.
jusotoma
At first, I thought it was simple and didn’t make an impression, but with time, I appreciate it more. It’s fresh, masculine, and elegant. The longevity is good; you don’t realize it until others tell you that you smell good. For the price and the scent, it’s highly recommended for everyday wear.
Memito0017v
Greetings from Panama. I bought it blind today based on YouTube reviews and it fascinated me. Very fresh and pleasant. It lasted 12 hours; it started strong like most, but it held up a lot. It’s very hot in Panama and I was surprised it didn’t fade. Great price; here it costs $20. Try it, it’s delicious.
ERNEST
Like any relationship, you have to give it a chance. I tried it again and it was better, though it’s still subtle, barely on the skin and clothes. It smells like soft lemon with a touch of talc. It’s meant to be worn on a shirt or for an intimate, relaxed date. I wouldn’t buy it again.
ERNEST
I sprayed it twice and it was a disappointment. It smells like water and alcohol with an acidic citrus note that stings my skin. After that, nothing. It doesn’t smell like anything. I’m hoping for some chemical miracle… I’m not holding a grudge, but don’t buy it blind like I did. Greetings.
YezusPerfumo
Smells great, 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. Perfect for the office: projects to an arm’s length without being overwhelming. Ideal for everyday wear, formal but modern. Longevity is around 4 hours. – YezusPerfumo
carl suarz
I received this as a gift 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. Perfect for summer or sunny spring days, casual outings, or even daily wear. Pretty good with moderate longevity. Excellent value for the price and quality. Recommended.
Halcon Peregrino
Very good fragrance, fresh and long-lasting. Easily lasts around ten hours, projecting for four hours in my case.
