My Way Intense

Blind buy success. You better love tuberose though, and that's all you really need to know. Fortunately, I fein for the stuff, and the performance on this one is 90s tier. Meaning, it's not going anywhere until you wash it off and other people will be able to possibly smell it TOO without having to invade your personal space. What a wonderful throwback to the times before the most expensive designer perfume lasts 6 hours tops and has a sillage of one foot. Omg I love tuberose...how could anyone hate this smell...it's intoxicating. This one hits first with that bitter orange called "bigarade" which is apparently so bitter irl it's inedible, then after about 2 hours that leaves the picture (mostly) and just a cloud of tuberose with a hint of the bitter orange left and a very soft sweet sandalwood but mostly tuberose and more tuberose and its like that until you wash it off. It smells like you were eating 12 oranges then someone threw you in a tuberose garden and locked you in for 12 hours and you ate all the oranges and then it was just you and the tuberose flowers blooming everywhere all night. I need a backup bottle of this. I do NOT have the OG or the Parfum version, or L'Interdit or Scandal though, so I wouldn't buy both unless youre obsessed with this same citrus Tuberose smell. I picked this one for the performance (and smelling largely the exact same as the others mentioned - just better lasting and better sillage). I LOVE it, but they all smell the same. You really only need one. I have Bvlgari's Splendida Tubereuse Mystique and it smells a lot like this (for much less $) in the beginning too except STM has Vanilla and Myrrh as the base notes instead of sandalwood so you get a little of a gentle feminine spice with vanilla on that one. But mostly tuberose and its not as strong but it IS very long lasting. This makes me want to have a seperate perfume collection with just perfumes that smell like tuberose. Lol I don't really believe in times and places or age brackets to wear perfumes, I just wear whatever I'm in the mood for whenever I want, but IF I did, this would be your evening wear tuberose...for whomever likes tuberose. For some reason, considering Tuberose is a night blooming flower in the narcotic flower family, I feel like most tuberose centric perfumes are for night and night time activities with your man. I remember the original formulation of Curious by Britney Spears (the most elegant BS perfume of all, and I have Fantasy as well as My Perogative and have smelled most of them over the years) had a prominent tuberose-aquatic smell. The new formulation is watered down, but I still smell a little tuberose...I'd say that would one would be a day time tuberose. Doesn't last as long as Armani, but who would expect that from an $18 perfume these days (we are 10-15 years past the days where you could buy an $18 perfume that lasted until you washed it off). Throw it in your bag and refresh as necessary but this perfume is one of my favorites in my (embarrassingly substantial) collection so far. And you do not have to bring it with you! It will last throughout the entire event. Spectacular. Edit: what kind of bubblegum have yall been chewing?! It smells so far from bubblegum to me...I mean I put my nose directly on my skin and try to smell anything resembling bubblegum but I just don't get it. I try this with every perfume that I have that has a tuberose note and try as hard as I can to mistake it for smelling like bubblegum and I just can't ever smell that....kind of wish I could...

I remember being in Ulta after my first big breakup, wandering around the perfume aisles and looking to sniff some stuff. I found a paper tester that had already been sprayed nearby where I was, took a sniff, and WOW! I hunted all over the store to find out what it was, and it happened to be My Way Intense. There is something so absolutely gorgeous and captivating about this scent. I personally don't think that it smells like bubblegum, but I can see why people would interpret it that way. Moving along in the story, I wore this every time I saw my new partner in the early days of us dating. I am convinced it is the reason he joked about proposing on the third date. The scent stuck to the seatbelt of his car, and he told me he could smell it on himself after we spent time together. It is an endless compliment getter, lasts forever (especially on clothes) and has incredible sillage. I'm not usually a fan of the orange blossom note, but here it is just so yummy. The scent is sweet, but not overly so. Even though it's a floral heavy perfume, I don't think it's too floral-y either. The sandalwood brings in a woodsy element that helps to balance out the sweetness from the florals and the vanilla, and it comes off in a way that is sweet and mature, but not gourmand. This is an incredibly polarizing scent, so certainly try before you buy. However, I'll finish my review of this scent by saying that I wore this for my first job interview after graduating with my Masters in May, and was complimented on my perfume by one of the people interviewing me. They offered me the job the next day. Just saying!

Well, well, well! It's been a week since i am wearing this new love, I want it for a while but i didn't bother to buy it, since I have loads of perfume plus i was convinced by the hype, that it was a dupe for "l interdit, Givenchy" (it's so not). Finally i got it as a present from my husband ( gratitude 🙏❤️). Firstly, it is the exact dupe of a fragrance by Estée Lauder, called "beyond paradise". It's an old one, over 20 years old, that's why its a memory only for the early 40 yo people...L interdit is not a dupe, not even same dna, nothing! You get baby powder and patchouli from this, whereas my way intense is bubblegummy, modesty sweet at first and you get sourness when it settles. The one is complex, velvety and wisely blended, the latter is flatter and sour (its not sweet, i wonder why everyone says this!?) It makes you feel clean and fresh, that you "have your thing together", modern and professional. It goes strong at first and projects a lot for a couple of hours. The longevity is moderate (i disagree with the crowd again). I believe autumn is its season and daylight is it's right time. To sum up, it has become one of my favourites already, it works very well with my skin chemistry. Extra bonus, it's a compliment getter, everytime i wear it, somebody asks me the exact name of it in order to get it as a present for their loved ones. If this is not a success for the product, then what!?

This is what I’ve been missing in the original My Way. I got My Way a few months back, thinking it’s the most wonderful smell. It was bubbly, mouth-watering, juicy, happy scent. Bubblegum-y floral, somehow classy enough to wear anytime. But the summer almost ends and I needed something *deeper*. Intense version got me thinking I did nothing good purchasing the same perfume in a different bottle (I do love the blue version more 💙) . Because the opening is almost exactly the same! But after a while, while the original is still like a summery fruity floral drink on your skin, the Intense version turns to a darker (a bit), sexier and cozy scent. I am in love with it. I get why some people say it may not be the most original but who cares - it’s so feminine and beautiful. And happy. The original is literally a brunch with your best friends or the best spring/summer daytime moments. The Intense version is like having a glass of prosecco out in your garden. Chill and happy moment. But instead of the worn out t-shirt you’re dressed in something like a satin dress. Or your partners shirt. I find this version more intense, creamy and warm. Test it on your skin though. On paper and in the first moments the two are so similar. I prefer this version to the original but I still love both. I always thought I like rose perfumes best but tuberose... where have you been all my life? 😍

This lady came behind me. She was making all of these excited noises. I was worried for a quick second. I then realized she was trying to compliment my fragrance but didn't speak English that well. She sd, "Your YOUR....." and she waved her hands around her nose in the air like we were playing charades and she was circling the air closer to her face. I sd, "PERFUME!" as if I had just won the golden prize on a popular televised game show. She shook her head up and down and then shoved her phone in my face so that I could input the information for her to purchase a bottle. I told told her that it was My Way INTENSE from Georgio Armani. I pulled up various flankers of My Way and told her to be careful bc they all say My Way and have the same pink juice in the same exact bottle, but they all smell a little different. She then repeated INTENSE in her native language of french which sounds very similar to our pronunciation. My Way INTENSE is a SWEET non indolic white floral scent with tuberose and is considered to have a, "bubblegum" like smell to some noses. It has the same scent profile as Prada Paradoxe, the new limited edition Valentino Donna Born In Roma Rendezvous Pink PP 💗, Jean Paul Gaultier So Scandal, & Givenchy L'Interdit edt. I hope she gets an opportunity to buy a bottle of this beauty!
