Play For Her Intense

Love this perfume, have tried in on my skin several times now and will definitely purchase a bottle very soon. The smell to me is like Kenzo Amour intensified and upgraded (this is what I expected Kenzo Amour Le Perfum to be, but it wasn't). There doesn't seem to be vanilla amongst the notes in Play Intense, yet I swear I can smell vanilla. The sillage and the staying power are amazing. I had a spray on my wrist, took a shower and the scent was as strong as ever hours later. Amazing! The original Play is not at all to my liking (even though I usually like light floral musky scents). Play Intense smells much much better to me, it has in fact a place in my Top10 list of perfumes. Can't wait to buy it. Update: Bought this one yesterday. Absolutely love it! Sweet, powedery, woody, with a touch of peach at the top... Yum!!! Very long staying and the base is very strong, so the perfume smells fresh even after hours of dancing and sweating (tried this yesterday, he-he). Definitely prefer this one to the original Play version (light pink bottle).

I have been so very lucky in my thrift finds lately! Today I found a very full, is bottle the correct term for this container lol. $30CAD no tax, plus an extra 20% off because it had a big scratch, yeah I was grinning like an idiot. I remember a holiday party at a very cool hair salon, and smelling this and complimenting the most stylish woman I’d ever seen at that point in my life, on her scent. Truly magnetic. I hadn’t had a Dark fragrance myself, wasn’t that confident then. So well blended. So mysterious, as I find many Givenchy’s manage to pull off. You need to plan to wear this purple powerhouse, be in the mood to be moody & broody;) Side note, also scored a Givenchy Y necklace, gunmetal with black and grey crystals, excellent condition, will go perfectly with the frag:) $5. Plus a 30ml full Poison $8. Serious steals! A great day indeed

I'm sorry, I have to say it, but Flowerbomb couldn't hold a candle to this! I'm so so glad I've tried this on my skin. It rocks! It has an awesome smoldering thick sweetness. Deep and sensual. Not synthetic and candylike at all. It's warm and it makes me want to close my eyes and breathe deeper. It is quite delicious - not edible - but nonetheless. Great combination of notes. Tonka, benzoin, pink pepper, patchouli. That's what I smell. A smooth rich vanilla bean sweetness, spicy, a little smoky, a touch of earthiness. Goodness. It doesn't smell anything like Hot Couture No. 1, but something about the way it wears and makes me feel, reminds me of it. This is going straight to the want list. The sillage is good, but it seems to fade a bit quicker than most other Givenchy scents. Beautiful dimensional vanilla.

I recommend this for a party. It is my fav to wear at a party or at the club, it has a great lasting and sillage and, like the name says, it's so playful. I bought this one several times, it was once something like my signature, I'm now at the 6th bottle of Play Intense. I never had the original Play ( the pink one) but I sniffed it in a perfume shop and I find the Play Intense better. I see lots of people here voted this perfume as a "winter night" perfume, I agree, but I also wore it during summer nights and it was a perfect fit because it may seem to be too strong at the beginning, but after a few minutes those sharp notes at the opening get lighter. Anyway, if you want something that tells "I am a free spirit and I love to play", you should get this one.

A former roommate of mine had a candle (or perfume, or detergent, or SOMETHING) that smelled exactly like this. When I smelled it for the first time today I cried out that it smelled like her! It brought back some happy memories of living in Florida and it will be the next "have to have." I mostly didn't buy it today because it didn't smell right until I'd walked away from the perfume counter with Thierry Mugler's Angel instead (not unhappy.) I always thought this scent (or what I remembered being just like this scent) was violets, but I might be picking up on the strong orchid scent. I also read musk and a powdered, soft patchouli. It's strong, and stayed on my skin for hours. I think I know what I'm getting for Valentine's Day this year!
