Promise Me Intense

I can only agree with other opinions here - this is an amazing wearable Oriental rose! On my skin, Promise Me Intense is very dense, juicy, rich, friendly jammy rose with lovely support of soft and creamy woody notes. Nothing skanky or hard to wear - this is very luxurious and polished fragrance! Many people would say - "oh no! another rose-oud combo", but it's not! There are some tropical notes that are perfectly put and they give very different approach of the whole composition. It's still juicy, inviting and complex with full body, but at the same time it's still sexy, playful and carrying young spirit. I can't explain it correctly, but imagine a fantasy mix of nice modern jammy rose-wood combo mixed with some fresh-fruity tropical cocktail... These tropical-fruity notes makes it more western type of scent and I'm sure many would love to test this new type of jammy rose. The performance on my skin is very good. Final words - Mauboussin did it again! After the amazing and again very different Cristal Oud, now Promise Me Intense impressed me with high quality!

OH MY GOD! INSTANT OBSESSION!! ❤️😍 What a stunning, sophisticated chique fragrance this is! I just tried it in the middle of a heat wave on my arm, so I can't talk about longevity or sillage yet. My first impression : This smells like Love by Chloe + Jaime La Nuit La Perla + warm & woody roses 🌹 (the initial spray smells a tiny bit like Madame Grès, but that quickly melts away). I am completely obsessed! And now I finally have a fragrance to catch that itch of my long lost Love by Chloe!! 😍 It's not identical, but it's deffo giving me those feels! That sparkly bit on the top is very similar and just 80% of the vibes are similar for me (just more rosy 🌹). Absolutely stunning! I hope it will develop more strength as I let it sit (I enjoy beast mode fragrances in general). So chique & beautiful. I would say for all ages, but maybe not a young girl. I live vintage chique, so somebody who likes very modern scents may not like this. If you love roses, I think you will love this!

Intense you are indeed, Promise me! While the notes are limited (litchi, rose, oud) the scent is full and creamy. A warm and heady brew reminiscent of licorice (which I cannot stand very well but works wonders here), dark rum, slightly bitter caramel, warm wood and dirty rose. This is not for the faint of heart. It is bold. The sillage is sufficient and the lasting is long. Btw very unisex. I would like it very much on a man too. Added bonus: no incense/smoke notes in this one, which sets it off from more traditional male mélanges of the heavier kind. And in a stunning bottle too! If you want to feel like sitting on a wooden porch in Indochina after a monsoon rain and with a liquor by your side: this is your scent track. If you want to feel like sipping old rum in a wooden paneled library with a tartan throw over your knees and half eaten crème brulée on your side table: Promise Me Intense will do the same. And I don't even drink. Beautiful!

I leapt out of bed at o'crack sparrow this morning to check track and trace on delivery of this and today was THE day! Yanked it out of the poor postman's hands and sat and waited, patiently - I'm lying, I was impatient as all hell, drank three cups of coffee, cleaned the bathroom (yeah...but needed chores to keep me occupied) and sat and looked at the box. I waited an hour-ish. But this is a beauty. A gem thats hiding its light under a bushel. And now its in my greedy little monkey hands and I'm totally in love. @Jacquis, @Deetron, in fact almost all of the reviews here are spot on and I couldnt do this fragrance any more justice even if I tried. A blind buy based on these guys reviews so as always I'm eternally grateful for your descriptions - a huge love for the reviewers and an even bigger love for this fragrance!

At first, I also felt that this fellow is a bit aggressive, but I left my bottle aside, it was late spring anyway, and I tested this beauty again, yesterday. It has depth, personality, the rose is not offensive, the oud is not offensive, but at the same time you can smell all the notes. Not fun of roses, but this one is so well blended, that I love even the rose cent! Love it. It is not sweet, but dark, rich, deep and without being "heavy" or old fashion. The quality is excellent, the performance is excellent ( put it on yesterday afternoon and still this morning can feel the aura around me!). Bravo Maubussin!! and thank you!!
