L'Intense Rouge Addiction

* Dead-on accurate clone of Givenchy L'Interdit Rouge * Potent blend of sweet, floral, citrus, woody, spicy, powdery and patchouli musk aromas * Very alluring * Great performer * Hybrid woody, spicy and floral fragrance that is much more appealing than one note floral ones * Great for cooler weather * Great for social occasions and date nights * Great introduction to floral fragrances for younger users who enjoy the sweet and fresh type of fragrances * Nice heavy bottle * Great price and QPR value * Strong sweet floral notes could be headache inducing to some noses * May lean too feminine still for some male users * Not for those who dislike floral fragrances regardless of their sex * Not good for older users * Not good for those who dislike sweet fragrances * Not good for serious, formal or somber occasions Lattafa/Maison Alhambra's L'Intense Rouge Addiction is a dead-on clone of Givenchy's hit L'Interdit Rouge. I live near a Sephora and can vouch for the accuracy of this one. Whereas the original and its clones are a straightforward mostly floral fragrance with a touch of woodiness, L'Intense Rouge Addiction perfects the formula with the magic touch of spices. The result is a superb hybrid fragrance that blends sweet, floral, citrus, woody, spicy, powdery and patchouli musk aromas. This addition to the formula both vastly improves on the original one and makes this a completely unisex fragrance. I personally find the original L'Interdit style formula too one-note and feminine leaning, but I love this take on it and L'Intense Rouge Addiction delivers on the formula in spades. Still, some male users may still find it leans too feminine for their liking, though. This is a great introduction to floral fragrances, especially younger users who like the sweet and fresh style of fragrances. Those who dislike sweet fragrances and floral fragrances should stay away, especially since the strong sweet and floral combination might irritate them to potentially headache inducing level. This is great for use in cooler weather, social occasions and especially date nights. It shouldn't be used for more serious, formal or somber occasions. This is clearly meant to be an alluring fragrance and is best used where it can be put to good advantage. Netflix 'n' chill, anyone? ;) Goes for a great price and delivers excellent QPR value given the high performing quality for the price. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous!! I just received this and love it already!!! I don’t have L’interdit or any of its flankers. I do, however, have Fakhar Rose (L’interdit impression) and it is very similar, yet a bit smoother and maybe “deeper”. To my nose, it is feminine and floral but also super sexy! I cant say enough about how much I am enjoying these middle eastern fragrances! They are such fabulous scents that are so affordable allowing me to buy them to my hearts desire without breaking the bank!! I’ve had a few misses, but most are hits! This is for sure a good one! It’s perfect for any season, any occasion, and signature scent worthy!

This stuff smells so nice. As with many bottles you have to give them a little time to settle. I’ve had this a couple of months. I don’t own the rouge OG which is what this is a dupe for but I do have the OG of the original regular L’interdit and i have fakhar rose by Lataffa which is a dupe for it. I’m familiar with this scent family, this (and the rouge og) is a warmer, spicier version of L’interdit. It’s a very subtle difference but it is there and I personally find it to be lovely!

This perfume is stunning. Yes it dupes what it should. But let's take that out of the story. This bottle of fragrance is stunning. The composition is melded together in a way that lifts ones senses up as you wish to sink deeper into the smell. Brand new, glorious. After maturation. Perfection. It's an amazing dupe but past that this will lure the sense of others and draw them in.

I don't get the similarity that people are talking about between this and L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge Givenchy... this was the reason I bought it. For now, firs spray of L'Intense Rouge Addiction on my skin, I get a Lancome Hypnose more of a scent. I bought it online... maybe I should leave it macerate and retry it in a couple of months. later edit: after 3h it seems to transform into something that is similar to Lancome La Vie Est Belle.... so... still in Lancome fragrances family
