Intuition

Something interesting happened to me with this perfume just the other day. At the beginning of the year I promised myself that I would not buy so many perfumes until I got rid of the ones I bought but disappointed me, simply because I had nowhere to put them, I managed to fill a room with perfumes. So I said one per month is ok, too much, I know, but I have to have a habit too, anyway, the other day I went to the vintage perfume boutique and outlet, from where I make my supply from time to time. I just had to look, in theory, because in practice three bottles jumped in my eye: a Madam Rochasby Rochas with forms from 89, Beautiful by Estée, from a batch from the early 2000s and Intuition in a bottle from 2015. Being a vintage boutique and outlet, the bottles are unopened but there are no testers. Of course the big question was, which one?I have had Madam Rochas many times, it is an extraordinarily cold floral feminist perfume, I knew it and I wanted it because I had no more left in my bottles, I had never smelled Beautiful, but I had read that it was a feminist-scented perfume, and Intuition I think I once killed him but it didn't stay in my mind.After half an hour and a headache, I decided, I will start from February with the promise and I take them all🤭. I got home a few hours later after the office, I started with Rochas, which I will not describe here and then I continued with the two from Estée. I will describe them both because I will post the comment on Beautiful page as well, but just read what you need. Beautiful: many women consider it feminist, a perfume for a strong independent woman, intelligence, etc. I had some doubts for a very long time, because I doubted that Estée who knows how to create as a brand for powerful women will make a Marketing advertising with a bride for a feminist perfume. But I hoped. Ladies, in the first note may look like, it is slightly green, spicy interesting smell and very good blended, but what do we do along the way, because the middle becomes very sweet, floral indolic, with a very carnal tuberosis...it doesn't speak much about power, more attraction, and the finish is ok powdered, but it doesn't have anything to radiate, in general, feminist perfumes have powdery but prestigious, vertical, cold notes at the end, here is a vanilla with vetiver....If you ask me, they marked it very correctly, at first it is elegant and distinct green, like a bride walking towards the altar, then turns into a hard-smoked oriental with floral notes which makes you think of the bride in the wedding night, and end with a note of peace, of relaxation after fatigue and a warm hug. It is not a perfume that I consider feminist, because it is not linear and vertical, does not keep its prestige from the first line and even so it has nothing to make me feel sober, cold. I wouldn't wear it to the office in any form, or at at the weddings as a guest or at evening events as read at some persons. It is a romantic perfume, for a date, for your own pleasure, for a forest trip with the love one, I don't see him more than that.And if you don't like the smell of tobacco... has enough in the second base. So feminist.... no, in my opinion based on years of experience in feminist perfumes, if they wanted a feminist perfume Estée knew how to ask for it and Sophia knew how to make it, so no. Intuition: well this was a huuuuge surprise, because I didn't expect much and yet... this is a feminist perfume but it is unpolished one, not because A.M didn't know how to, but because they didn't want to, it is a perfume with a slight metallic and even alcoholic scent, is a perfume to be worn by a woman, very very sober, determined sour I would even say, it's a perfume for a black suit. It starts with a strong citrus note, slightly spicy, then continue with a cold, almost frozen floral, as if you were smelling a frozen flower from the refrigerator, and ends with a skin still cold, it's the coldest amber I've ever smelled.It's a viper scent, is a perfume for a stinging attitude, even slightly violent. It doesn't catch me either, I like it so much I will die for, but although I'm still punching the table, people already know who I am, I don't need to spread out and break the table anymore, and I can't really do it anymore, physically😂. I would have loved to have it for my 30 years decade, it is a perfume of maturity but at the same time it a sparkles of youth, it's the scent of a woman coming into a meeting room and saying, I'll do as I say, the others refuse and she throws the table out the window, well hypothetical speaking of course, but it is a perfume for a power in formation, for a stage of life in which you rely on the senses, on Intuition. You see when you are at the beginning you do things like in a books, when you are at the end you do it the way you already know from experience to do, but when you are in the middle of the circle of life you do it on instinct, it's just like in a lion case, first it learns, then throws itself into the fight and rag and in the end it teach the youngs, protects wisely and watches from the shadows. So Intuition is something, but NOT for everybody. Don't buy it like me without testing, I don't care what others may say, it isn't a normal office floral scent, not even close, maybe the old version, I don't know but the one I have, no. And be careful, it has a dizzying jasmine that feels at first very strong on the skin, is very similar to the absolute jasmine of Rome blu Laura B.

I simply don't understand Estee Lauder's method for deciding which scents to reformulate and which to discontinue. My experience with Intuition is the same as with Aliage, which used to be one of my favorite scents. Now, Aliage is just okay. Same with Intuition. It's not horrible, but I won't buy it again. The great base notes of amber and wood are really lame now, and while there is a (not unpleasant) hint of the old Intuition, I was hoping for more than a hint. At least Intuition is more like the original than the reformulated Aliage is like its original, but that isn't saying much. It's kind of green, which I like, but the dry-down has lost its complexity, and after a day of wearing, is smells... elderly. Seriously. And even though I probably am pushing "elderly" a lot closer than I think, I don't want to smell that way!

It starts very feminine, floral, then it gets a slightly spicy twist. Overall, it's a pleasant fragrance. About the bottle: I personally like the simplicity of it, clean lines, transparent bottle. Sometimes we forget that we wear the perfume, not the bottle of perfume. But the quality of the cap is horrendous. It's difficult to put back on, the grooves are a cheap plastic that broke while I was testing the perfume. I own a 50 ml bottle. That cap should resist the 100 times uses one could get out of it.

This is the first time I see perfume separated -vintage and new ! And I'd say it's a really good idea .Obviously this is the new intuition which is different from the old version.

Only OK. I loved and adored the original Intuition in the oval bottle. It was one glorious sunny and optimistic scent that was sadly discontinued. Out of nostalgia, I scoured all over Europe for a replacement, ordered the original from Ebay (it arrived stale) and ended up very expensively ordering this "remake" or whatever the hell it was supposed to be. That fascinating opulent sunny, radiant warmth of oranges and ambergris was drastically removed and what was left was something green and pungent, bitter and miserable. Yes, I can smell a trace of OG in there, but it's a very faint trace in the background and for the €150 I spent on this fail, it really wasn't worth it. I will finish the bottle and won't be buying again. OG was great. When I wore it, people would stop me on the street, in the office, in the airport, in restaurants and ask me about the perfume so they could buy it for their wife. That's certainly not going to happen with this perfume...
