Cloud or Cloud Intense
The 'Intense' that barely is: Cloud vs Cloud Intense
VS
Cloud
«Pear-and-coconut dessert half the country names from the coffee queue.»
Cloud Intense
«The same cream warmed with ambroxan — promises 'more', delivers mostly a longer trail.»
The DNA is identical, and even on loudness Cloud Intense edges the original by a hair. Want the same beloved scent with a slightly longer warm tail, take Intense; want to be recognised from the first note, the original Cloud is read far more readily.

How similar they are
Scent100%
The juice is literally the same: pear, coconut, milk and praline match completely — not a new formula, its volume knob.
Vibe60%
The feel, though, already shifts: ambroxan and cashmeran make Intense more grown-up and dense, while the original stays fluffy.
What they share — and where they split

Then they split:

Cloud Intensecashmeranambroxan
The whole sweet skeleton is shared, the difference is small change: Cloud keeps a woody note, Intense trades it for ambroxan and cashmeran — same cloud, warmer lining.
Cloud in 2018 became a whole generation's viral gourmand; Cloud Intense in 2021 is its later edit, topping up warmth without rewriting the hit.
Both sit in the same affordable bracket; 'Intense' in the name promises more than it actually adds to the picture — maybe a slightly longer trail.
The original Cloud is searched for more — it stayed the household name, while Intense lives as a bonus track for the devoted.
