The standard

A perceived aroma strength judges only how powerful the scent seems, apart from the number of notes and their distinctness.

Criteria

The strength of the scent is judged apart from its variety
A powerful scent counts as no proof of quality or ripeness
A faint scent does not rule out complexity

Distinction

Aroma intensity ≠ aroma precision: a perceived aroma strength measures how powerful the aromas seem, aroma precision how clearly they can be told apart. Aroma intensity ≠ aroma complexity: the one describes how strongly a wine smells, the other how many notes it shows.
