I tested both Perfect and Perfect Intense, with no contest – Perfect Intense stole the show. One spray on my wrist raised eyebrows with its impressive sillage. Typically, perfumes this potent and long-lasting are dark ambers, but Perfect Intense is a vibrant, uplifting tropical scent. Almond and sandalwood notes stand out, while I also detect pineapple undertones. Its similarities to Crystal Noir are apparent, though it lacks the toasted coconut note found in that fragrance. Instead, it offers a fruity character reminiscent of Ariana Grande's 'God is a Woman'. Overall, Perfect Intense is an unconventional yet enjoyable perfume – not one I'd recommend blind buying.
The fragrance has an unconventional scent profile that reminds me of a unique blend of notes - think popcorn, hay, and even banana. Initially, I picked up on the popcorn note when I first applied it, and surprisingly, it lingered with me throughout the day. This is definitely a bold and attention-grabbing perfume, so if you're open to trying something unconventional and outside the norm, then this might just be the scent for you! 🍌🌾👀
This lovely perfume shines on cold days, boasting sweet, nutty, and creamy notes that aren't overpowering. Its cozy gourmand quality makes me think of a shearling coat in fragrance form! It shares similarities with Girl of Now but with Perfect Intense being more innocent in its approach. I highly recommend it to those seeking a soft almond scent – it's truly pleasant 😊
This one's not quite up my alley. 🙅♂️
I enjoy this scent until the cashmeran note hits me, which I find less intense than expected, and I'm left wondering what happened to the original nutty, fruity, poisonous, and narcissus fragrance. While it makes sense to add an earthy note to the base of a nature-inspired scent like Perfect Intense, in practice, this smells like I added an overwhelming amount of Demeter Dirt or Molecule 05 to a sweet, lightly benzaldehydic floral.
