DesirToxic L'Intense

I love the original so I couldn't wait to get this one as well. The first thing you notice shortly after spraying are these fruity, fresh slightly cool blue notes similar to a modern fresh but slightly sweet shower gel type fragrance like Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. After the opening something spicy like cinnamon and cardamom come through just like how the original does and it will definitely remind you of YSL Opium Pour Homme for sure. but also The shower gel freshness remains and doesn't fade. In the drydown. Which for me has the most gorgeous "shaving foam" note so far that I know of in fragrance. The only other fragrance that I know that has that same not is Margiela At the Barber's. Sexy, sweet, with a touch of freshness and very masculine. Like the original you could also say it reminds me of one slightly of Layton or Sauvage Elixir, but honestly to me it is very minute and this fragrance smells far better than either of those. I actually smell a slight resemblance to one of my all time favorite fragrances Killian Intoxicated. It's really beautiful fragrance for sure. Now here is what makes it so much better than the original. The performance. The original doesn't project much and stays close to the skin. This one is exactly the opposite. Nuclear performance on par with Sauvage Elixir. You only need a couple of sprays.

The new M. Micallef Desirtoxic Intense has replaced the sharp and distinctive notes of the original with a smoother profile, unfortunately to its detriment. The new version lacks the original's impressive sillage and longevity. In my opinion, the original Desirtoxic, with its more pronounced sillage, is better suited for the morning, while the new intense version is probably best suited for intimate nights. Overall, the original Desirtoxic remains the superior choice due to its powerful performance. This new intense version? Not so much. Edit: After reviewing the perfume, I realized I had become anosmic to the intense version. Despite this, the intense version performs exceptionally well and is more wearable despite its strength. This is a beautiful creation, and it truly shows. If you prefer something more rugged, go for the original.

This. This one is special. Im a bloke who works on a building site. Desir toxic intense is one of, if not my most complimented fragrance. A head turner. Had various people ask what im wearing. Also fills a room after you left it. Has a peppery, blackcurrent, slightly sweet and dark green note to it. I actually get the cannabis note here as i used to smoke weed in my teens. But its so cleverly well incorporated that it does bot make you smell like a drug dealer. It actually gives this very vivid greeness that compliments the rest of the notes. Honestly. This is a masterpiece. 10/10. M. Micallef smashed this one out of the park.

Desir toxic intense to me does exactly what i want in perfumery, which is be completely unique. Its in its own catagory. Its a dark green, slightly fruity sweet blackcurrent fragrance that has instanely large longevity. I own 120+ frags and this one recieves alot of praise around the people i work around. It is definately not a safe blindbuy. But if you like dark green fruit frags. Please sample this one out. Also the cannabis note here, you wont smell like a pothead. Its just a background note that add this unreal greeness to the whole symphony of notes. This ones a special one guys.

The rating of this perfume on fragrantica is ridiculous and made me realize even more that one needs to try fragrances and only use ratings as an orientation. Yet I haven't found a fragrance where the rating is so far from the reality. After testing over 200 fragrances Desirtoxic L'Intense is easy one of the best fragrances ever. Instead I see here synthetic clones pushed to 4.5 ratings. The name Desirtoxic L'Intense fits very well, it is so alluring, unique. Art, niche and very attractive at the same time. Sample it, otherwise you will miss out on one of the best out there.
