Tiffany & Co Intense

I adore this! I've only ever sampled it from Shoppers, but this is so beautiful and perfect for any time, day or night. It's fresh, clean, bold, yet smooth. Green, incense, floral... and powder? Possibly a very slight citrus in there too. Hard to explain it, but seems it's a little bit of everything and it works! You've got to test it for yourself. I could see this being my new signature scent, if I could afford it! The price is crazy. If anyone has a bottle they'd like to unload (I know it's not for everyone), at an affordable price (I'm on a very fixed income), message me, PLEASE! I'll figure something out. I love love love this, and all the Tiffany perfume I've tested.... 😍 but this one and the original are drop dead perfection. Intense just takes it to a whole other level. It reminds me of something I own. Going to test it out to see the comparison and if it is on point, I'll post it here. That one cost me 20$ and I don't ever wear it because I didn't like it much at the time. Perhaps my senses have changed, or the packaging of Tiffany made it more appealing lol (turquoise is my favourite colour), or maybe I just needed some time away from it to realize the beauty in that other one. If I don't come back and edit, know that I was wrong in memory. I hope I'm right though! EDIT: Well, there is a similarity there, but it's not nearly as deep and luxurious. I've found 2 in my own collection that resemble, so I tried layering them and it's the closest I've got to Intense, on a budget. Sexūal fresh by Michel Germain and Roxy LOVE edt. There is something so similar there with these two. The LOVE is more gourmand after spraying, mixing the two seems fairly close, though much weaker and not nearly as lush as Intense. I checked the notes and there's several there that match up, but just enough that don't match, to make them different. If you can afford the Intense, treat yourself. I definitely recommend testing it first, as I'm not sure that would be a safe blind buy, though at those prices, I don't know who is "blind" buying that! 😅

So, I have long been searching for a year-long daytime and special event-worthy type of scent... After watching a few of Jeremy Frag's YouTube reviews, the way that they kept reviewing Tiffany Intense really spoke to what I was looking for. I finally tracked it down at the nearby big Macy's in the mall during the big holiday rush. I sampled both Tiffany & Co. and the Intense. People are right about the differences, as the first one had a sharper tone to it that I knew probably owed to the mix of the citrus and musky patchouli. I'd had enough of that combo so I figured it would be better to review at a later time. And I was too anxious to smell what I came to smell! Almost shockingly, Intense was that love at first sniff that I hardly ever come by anymore! It reminds me, I think, that I have been looking for something like this for quite long time... It is pretty powdery at first, I admit, though not breaching the limit IMO. And it's hard to get in really close in the beginning because the Iris may actually poke you in the nose a bit! But as time goes on with it, it charms me by playing more with the pear and vanilla on a bed of the cashmeran, and the more powdery sillage starts to fade until its more of a whisper - which is how to should be! The little pops of Iris since then radiate from my skin in a very soft and beautiful way! And that's how I know I have absolutely fallen for this scent..... so much that it feels to me like it's... signature. The saleslady really didn't even have to talk me into blowing my self-gifting holiday budget on the larger size since most of their stock were selling like hotcakes. It's just SUCH a PRETTY perfume! It IS expensive. It DOES say luxury, but in a more personal, comfy way. It's like the best hug in the world... one you've been waiting for your whole life. :)

This is the most perfumey perfume I have ever smelled. It smells like Sephora when you first enter. I don't usually go for fresh and powder and floral perfumes but I'm in the summer mood and this knocked my socks off with the opening notes. Yummy yum yum. It's not a gourmand scent but it still makes my mouth watering. And it's strong, I love that! Wauza...it smells and looks like luxury. This deserves a full glam outfit- long shiny tight dress with sparkly earrings and sleek long hair. But im still going to wear it on every day basis for a few days now no matter what i'm wearing because I want to smell it for some time. Also I 💯 agree with person below, about the Tiffany sprayers. I've owned over 100 perfumes if not even more, and this brand makes the absolute best sprays! It's nice continuous mist, so on one spray, you can cover your forearm very nicely. The exact opposite is DKNY delicious line, which squirts like a toy gun. I don't know how long lasting it is yet, but I'd rate the smell 10/10 and the initial strength is probably 7/10 - it's very present but not too much Edit two months later: probably the best perfume I've ever had. And I don't understand why! It's not my style, at all, but I crave it and love it and can't get enough of it. And I have a comparison that might put you off, but I don't mean it in a bad way-this smells like baby wipes! But very nice ones, Tiffany baby wipes for crazy rich people 😅 I have a baby, well a toddler now I guess, so maybe that's why this is so appealing to me. Powder and baby wipes and sweetnesses from pear. And longevity is good. Not great but still good.

Ooooh I love this. I got a second hand partially used 30ml bottle on a second hand site and the batch code is from August 2020. It's a very dry, musky, powdery iris with a touch of sweetness. It is very smooth and comforting. I don't get a rich type of amber scent as in the accord breakdown, but more like a cosy, snuggly and warm feeling from this. It doesn't smell like anything I already own but the closest thing I have is Narciso Rouge EDP, except Narciso Rouge is way more rosy and sweeter, but for me they same familiarity that musky (and for me iris) scents can often bring. ** Edit - I have a copy of Dior Home Intense and it's very similar, but this is more feminine with citrus in the opening.** I love this and it's such a shame if it has been discontinued, as I've read elsewhere and its no longer available on the Tiffany and Co UK website. It's another fragrance that I feel like could just smell like "me", as though it could just smell like the neck of my jumper after a day wearing it, it's comforting and familiar. I can't imagine this offending anyone, it's very office safe and I think whilst it's probably better suited to daytime, I can also see it working in any season or for any occasion or as a signature scent. Longevity is probably 6+ hours and I do get occasional wafts during wear so projection is ok too, but I haven't worn it enough to say for certain.

I smelled this and it’s really beautiful but muted . The bottle is lovely, the perfume smells like powdery iris and musk. It doesn’t have much silage or sparkle, and the lasting power is just average. Kind of like a skin scent. In my opinion it’s lacking in the top notes department which will probably keep,it from becoming popular. However it has charm, and a delicate feminine softness. In the beginning there is a tiny citrus sparkle which disappears within seconds . Then the iris comes, beautiful, in full bloom, with roots too, but never becoming carrot-y like Hiris. The iris is mixed with heavy and clean musk ... imagine a Narciso Rodrigues with Iris instead of rose, tons of musk,,and a powdery sweetness . The drydown is musky clean, soft , elegant. It costs $165 plus tax for a 75 ml bottle. In my opinion it’s,very beautiful but overpriced. Why ? Well, the packaging is not luxurious, a pretty turquoise carboard box. The bottle is lovely indeed, diamond cut, resembling turquoise colored crystal . It’s very pretty but it doesn’t match the scent inside. The silage and lasting power are both barely average . And while the scent is addictive and very comforting, it lacks opulence, luxury, glamour. And yet I bought it, becuase it feels like a soft cashmere blanket wrapped around me, and it calms me down . Big love from me but try before you buy.

This perfume is absolutely unique and luxurious. I tried it for the first time ever in February and it has been stuck in my mind ever since. I didn't want to get it because I find it to be very expensive, especially for the longevity. So I've been looking everywhere for a cheaper dupe. Needless to say, I couldn't find any so I ended up buying it on sale. It opens with a zesty lemon scent but the dry down is different depending on where you spray it. I find that when you spray it on paper, the zesty note is present all the way with the flowers and base notes in the background. However, when I spray it on my skin, the zesty note completely disappears and I mostly get a musky floral amber scent. It's absolutely beautiful. When my sister sprayed it on herself, it dried down to a mainly floral then musky scent. Another friend tried it as well but for him it was zesty/peppery and musky. I don't know what causes this perfume to react this differently on skin. I know that perfumes are supposed to do that but this one is a bit extreme I'd say. Not complaining though because now I truly have a unique signature scent.

Maybe my tastes are just not that modern, but I really do enjoy powdery, lipstick, makeup scents. Maybe this is because I grew up smelling these scents on women very close to me. Some of my most favorite fragrances are powdery scents with a vanilla base or violets. Frederic Malle’s Lipstick Rose will be one of my all time favorites. Tiffany&co Intense seems to be in line with this type of fragrance. I get a strong violet, musk fragrance with a vanilla base. This pulls sweet, but never gets cloying and has the perfect amount of sweetness. The projection is moderate, and the longevity is also decent, being an intense version. Heat really helps with its performance, especially indoors on a cooler day. I wouldn’t wear this in summer though. I didn’t particularly care for the original Tiffany&co, but if you are looking for a more versatile or work friendly scent, that one would work better. This can also be versatile if you go easy on the sprays. Also noting that I got a compliment for this, and I rarely ever get any compliments for fragrances.

I noticed a few months ago that this version had disappeared from the official Tiffany website. Get it while you still can, because this followed exactly the pattern of modern mainstream pillars: the second fragrance (more often than not called 'intense') is almost always the fragrance first envisioned by the perfumer(s) from the brief. Think: Chanel Gabrielle Essence, Sì Intense (2014), Lancôme Idôle L'intense. Whether Tiffany Intense had been phased out due to low sales or material scarcity—it contains much more iris than the focus group-geared original—it remains one of my favorite iris. At first biting and indifferent like a shrug of the ice queen's shoulder, then warmed up to an exquisite allure of waxy lipstick sheen and animal fur. Tiffany did themself a huge disservice by not letting Andrier go ham with her favorite color of the palette and releasing this as a pillar. I'm sad to see the brand's lineup now: a collection of wan, sexless perfumes for those who dislike perfumes or to whom fragrances are rather a social obligation.

I LOVE Iris scents! Tiffany & Co. Intense is a lightly sweet, soft, rose/white floral; clean; powdery and lightly musky number that's just my style! It IS quite similar to my beloved Balenciaga, Paris. Though Paris is greener more powdery; registers a little deeper; and is an all-year round scent, in my opinion. They're definitely in the same vein. T&CI is great for spring, summer and early Fall. It's totally classy and non-offensive, office-wear friendly with a cool non-aquatic freshness. While the rose and white floral notes are understated, there's just enough vanilla, musk and woodsiness to lend the perfect amount of oomph! Projection is arm's length and longevity is a good 6 hours on well moisturized skin and longer on garments. I scored a 75 ml bottle for a song. Though not a collector for the packaging, I was delighted with the heavy glass bottle in a pretty, light aquamarine color. Tiffany & Co. Intense will take its place right beside Balenciaga's Paris, in the Iris-centric portion of my growing collection.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I tried this perfume a few times and after spraying it on my jacket it lasted ALL DAY. It smells powdery, fresh and sweet. It also smells sophisticated but sexy at once. It's a multidimensional fragrance. It actually reminds me of baby powder, but in the best way. Baby powder isn't a bad thing... as I remember I had a hair product and was complimented in high school by a guy that said it smelled like baby powder and he loves the smell of baby powder. Ahahha. Trust me on this it's a beautiful fragrance. Powdery, fresh, sweet, slightly, aquatic, has depth. Perfect for all occasions and perfect for work too. The best in my opinion of all the Tiffany fragrances (second fave is rose gold, but this one knocks all out of the park for me). Incredible masterpiece and great for gifting. It's very unique to the rest of my collection which is mostly gourmand. While this has sweetness it's also very fresh. Gorgeous masterpiece. Boyfriend loves it too.

SWEET AND WARM IRIS ______________________________________________________ TIFFANY INTENSE opens with a strong musky iris note and a few moments later the benzoin, amber and vanilla join and turns the fragrance into a a warm and sweet iris. The earthy iris (root) stays strong throughout the entire day. I love it Longevity: - 7/10 Sillage: - 7/10 All in all: 10 out of 10 subjective points -> I love iris parfumes and this one is a unique sweet iris fragrance. Update: I received it for Christmas and I love it, but I have to criticize the box. I understand, that it has to resemble a box with a diamond-ring in it, but the quality is very poor. The cardboard is cheap, for lack of better word, and it doens't hold the box very good together. The bottle is loose within the box and if you happen to carry the box a long way, the bottle may break. Even if most people throw it away, you buy the whole package and I expected a lot more from Tiffany's.

Review. 2 ml sample and going through my 30 ml bottle. This scent is familiar and unique at the same time. It is difficult to visualize it at first sniff. What comes to my mind is a luxurious foundation. A smooth, light beige drop that melts on warm skin. What makes it familiar is the iris note, present in many make-up products. The uniqueness comes probably from the carrot note (carrot seeds note, I believe it is). It is powdery, clean, warm and a little bit sweet. Tiffany & Co. Intense is a very feminine and elegant, quiet scent. It quite quickly becomes a skin scent, but is very long lasting. Very versatile, although it would not work well in heat and humid weather. I believe that the whole line that includes: Tiffany and Co., Intense and Sheer flankers and body products could work great as someone’s signature scent. The bottle looks nice and the atomizer is very high quality (you can spray a little or a lot by pushing it once).

A musky powdery iris scent. This is weird, some sniffs I liked it, some I didn't. The projection is moderate poor and the lasting is average. I'm glad it isn't cloying, but I was expecting more power from a fragrance with Intense in the name. I got sniffs here and there and around 8 hours it was a skin scent. I got compliments, my mom loves it, it does smells sophisticated and proper lady. I don't hate it, but it's not really my type. I will use up my sample the days I feel for a powder iris perfume. Edit: As my love for powder iris grows, I fell in love with it. I found it soft and sweet. I would buy it if I had the money. Edit: I bought it! Different than what I have in my collection. I think it will be perfect for fall winter. Edit: I love the slow mist of the sprayer.

I’ve had a craving for a long time for a fragrance that had the warm, deep, musk that I love but also had the nostalgic 90’s fresh and sweet vibe that I loved for so long. I was finding that everything I was trying was on one of those extremes, or something completely different. I wanted something that married who I was with who I am now and this hit the nail on the head. When the woman at the counter initially recommended the newest Tiffany fragrance, I was not intrigued as I was expecting something along the lines of bright crystal. I was so wrong. Like I said, this fragrance masterfully blends youth, and maturity, making it appealing to everyone, but it’s not at all generic. I only wish it projected a bit more. Could very well become my signature in the near future.

I have wanted to try this for a long time. When I finally got my hands on it today, I didn't expect it to smell like that. For some reason I expected more powderiness&creaminess, while what I'm getting is a very fresh scent - but hey, a beautiful one. :) My nose can detect some iris, some musk and something green&woody in this, to the point it slightly reminds me of Prada Infusion d'Iris, though this one is a bit sweeter (I can also smell something rather fruity in this). There is also this component reminding me of fresh laundry, of something clean or even childhood-like. It could be the iris&musk combination. It's a nice, inoffensive scent in my opinion. The bottle is so pretty and fits the character of the scent very well.

Very niche and classy, not easy to describe, needs to be tried on. It has a mildly vintage and soapy feel on skin, not so much powdery but more musky, it feels like a super luxurious pleasant soap and it reminds me a little bit of Lolita Lempicka, only that the later has a distinctive sweet Licorice note that this one doesn't. Both have a fairy tale vibe to me. I love it, it's unique and beautiful, all year round perfume. The dry down is heavenly, it's just that it doesn't particularly last long on my skin which is a shame (I get max. 3-4 hours before it's completely gone) but it's a very nice treat for the senses once in a while.

Tiffany Intense was the first of this selection that I had to have. My husband liked it so much that it had to be first. I on the other hand could not stop thinking about the original version also, so I had to purchase it too. I love the Intense. To me it has a pepper note that sets it apart from the original version. It last quite a long time on m skin and like the original, even longer on my clothes. Tiffany Intense has a rich lady vib to it in my opinion. It gives me a spark of energy I cannot label but feels like an elegant day/evening out for some high style entertainment. Elegance in a bottle.

a really pleasant scent. This was the second fragrance in my collection and I think I have no regrets. on me, when first sprayed, I really get the pear and even some greenness. then,in around half an hour the greenness fades away and I'm left with this nice powdery vanilla, musk and some iris. I like how this fragrance evolves during wear, and I think it's somewhat unique and reasonably priced. Allegedly, they're thinking of discontinuing this, so I've got to stock op on the 90ml. (I currently own the 30). Projection 6.5/10 sillage 7.5/10

This is the most sophisticated, elegant, classy, clean, clear, powdery, feminine-grown up dignified women, all occasions, all seasons, unique, compliment getter of a perfume. I really don't get any sharpness or harshness, no baby powder or wipes whatsoever, neither masculinity. Atomizer is superb, the only thing I resent is this downright ugly, impractical and cheap box, especially for the price and brand. Don't know if this is getting discontinued? It would be such a shame. I stocked up though.

O. M. G. Love at first sniff. I bought this blindly because I was fairly sure I had smelled it before at a perfume counter and enjoyed it there, but passed it up at the time. From first spray, to the dry down, this is gorgeous. It's as if someone sprinkled diamonds on a cake. It's classy, sweet, elegant, a bit sexy, just beautiful. I can see this becoming one of my favorites. A good signature scent as well, appropriate for any time of year I think, day or night. 10/10! Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful floral powdery scent with a hint of sweetness to it. I first got a mini bottle to see if I would like it and I absolutely love this fragrance. I have ordered a full size bottle to add to my collection. The lasting power is so so maybe 2-3hrs on me, but I still love this scent and I have nothing like it in my collection at the moment. It's very elegant, and classy, light and not too sweet just a tad. I will wear this all year round day or night.

Very classy perfume! Modern, clean, powdery scent (the pink pepper stood out initially to me along with Iris). After 4 hrs, I get a beautiful soft vanilla. it is office friendly and also great for intimate evenings out. An elegant all-rounder, I would wear this during all seasons. Not a teenage fragrance at all. I envisage it being perfect for a professional young or older person. Stunning bottle. Great for gifting to a special person in your life.

She is lovely, quiet but sharp. Warm and cold at the same time. Truly all year around signature scent. If you don't mind a powdery musky vanilla you will love this. It is very different from vanilla releases from these years. The pink pepper and iris gives it cold, refreshing feeling. While the benzoin, musk and vanilla are extremely enveloping and calming. It's oh so elegant and classy gives you confidence without being loud.

Tiffany & Co Intense gives me an impression of cherry and light musk. Later I came to appreciate the iris, the rooty carrot (which I love), the amber or ambroxan, and the rose. Yes it does have a lipstick vibe. Very easy to wear for any occasion, venue, time of year, especially in the Spring. Try it in the crook of your arm for the most beautiful development. Definite signature material.

Tiffany Intense vs tiffany edp Spring weather, cool still. Intense is better on me. I like both off the bat, but edp gues gentle acidy like Arden untold edp does (tho not same scent) Intense ends a smidge like le petit robe noir theres a not fruity powder berry. Overall clean, powder, deep, not sharp feel to it. Lasts very well. 10am to about 6pm

First spray, it's too strong almost like a mens cologne, hence forth the Dior Homme references. After a while maybe 1 or 2 hours, it's sexy. Kinda like your boyfriend's cologne rubbed off on you and smells rich, fresh, like luxury sheets and soap. Longevity is amazing, I sprayed this to go to bed and could smell it when I woke up 10 hours later.

FYI: This perfume is naturally supposed to darken over time, As almost all fragrances with Vanilla do. You'd think most perfume enthusiasts would be aware of that. Anyway, This scent is absolutely beautiful, Love it. It's got that lipstick smell in the opening, And transforms to a more sweet, Powdery drydown. Perfect!

Another Iris gem!! Beautifully done. Classy and luxurious elegant lady who is very feminine yet strong inside. Suitable for ladies in Management level jobs but still very gentle and feminine. Suitable also for date nights when you go to expensive restaurants. This perfume is elegance in and out!!

My signature scent. I've owned every tiffany perfume ever available over the last 20 years. This is my favorite. The performance and sillage are great but inoffensive. Very pleasant fresh floral musky scent for all seasons. Very rare to find a fragrance with such performance for the summertime.

Well blended combination of iris, musc, cashmeran and benzoin. It' soft, sophisticated and womanly. It's so beautiful and classy, i love it so much! It lasts ~ 6h on my skin (i spray heavy), it doesn't project far. Very nice scent all year round for every occasion.

Smells like $$$ money babyy. If you wear this you better have a favorite Fabergé egg, you better have two white twin borzois, and your husband better be an aristocrat from an obscure vaguely European Grand Duchy. Or maybe you're just Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Omg this is the most beautiful scent I ever smelled it's like light musky soft vanilla and something....I don't know but its gorgeous! The projections its huge fills the room long lasting excellent quality I totally fall in love with 10/10

Tiffany intense có mùi hương rất đặc biệt. Nó sắc sảo nhưng lịch lãm,khiến cho người dùng nó trở nên có vẻ rất khí chất và thượng đẳng, kiểu toát lên mùi tiền ấy 🤭 Đây là một trong những chân ái trong bộ sưu tập của tôi

If the word “pristine” was thrown in the most exclusive body powder, it would this scent. I don’t know what they were doing w/ the OG, but THIS is the scent of Tiffany’s I envisioned. I’ll cherish it always. ❄️❄️

Perfect baby blue powder. I love this fragrance; it’s an every-season wear, in my opinion, and the strong powder note conveys whimsy rather than weight. This will be a collection staple for me.

Awesome, awesome powdery and intimate version of Tiffany & Co. It's a tender caress on my skin. As always iris radiates endlessly, smoothed by musk. Wonderful. Awesome!

I had a sample of this perfume. And it smells so good on me and very long lasting! So I think it’s full bottle worthy!! It’s a very powdery and musky fragrance!

La la love the sample, want more, it’s fresh and soft at the same time. Then becomes warm and with just the right amount of vanilla, not too much.

I think it has a niche quality. Great performance. Elegant smell. My only contra, it has a a little masculine vibe sometimes.

Very office appropriate, for me is a very powdery - but not dated - fragrance. Must enjoy iris.

I really love this one. The original is better to my taste, but the intense is also great.

Powdery and musky, not sweet noble scent. I think it is the best perfume I've ever owned

This has been my go to fragrance for a while now. Such a pretty and elegant scent.

Soft, clean and relaxing. It's amazing, it's like a cuddle.

So very elegant, lovely. "Old money" if you will.

A beautiful powdery vanilla. It feels Guerlain-esque. I don’t care for the opening (not very pleasant), but the drydown 2+ hours later is the best part, it smells smooth and ‘shimmery’ if that makes sense, very alluring and sophisticated, it’s giving a classic, ‘understated glamor’ sort of vibe. This will make a lovely signature scent for spring, fall and mild winters. It can work in any occasion, on dates, to work, etc. It’s sweet, but in a cool, delicate and refined manner. I feel like I’ve smelled a similar ‘shimmery’, powdery vanilla scent on my mom about 20 years ago, so it smells nostalgic to me...no idea what perfume she was wearing, probably something from the 90s or early 00s. It also reminds me a little of Lalique Le Parfum, but this one is much more refined, smoother, more youthful, and just smells more attractive. I can imagine Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s smelling like this when she’s out partying. Sillage is moderate, and longevity is good (7-8 hours), as always I find that spraying on clothes as well helps a scent last longer and increase projection.

I am a huge fan of iris fragrances, particularly the waxy makeup iris accord. I love Dior Homme Intense and Parfum. Tiffany Intense doesn't commit to the iris the same way as Dior Homme and is nowhere near Lipstick On. It is also nothing like Glossier You. It is more of a blended floral with a twist of sweet citrus. At dry down, I can detect the DNA of the original Tiffany EDP for her I had in the 1990's. It's as if they took that perfume, removed the woody notes, added some iris and tweaked it to make it more fragrance counter commercial. Tiffany Intense is pretty but makes no statement. It is a safe blind buy for a floral lover. Bottle is beautiful and it comes in a Tiffany Blue box. Highly giftable. However, note that longevity is poor and projection is non-existent - especially for an intense. I will happily enjoy it and use up my bottle though because I didn't pay much for it. I really don't understand why they don't re-release the original Tiffany for Her and Trueste as those were absolute masterpieces. Why release a bunch of "meh" when you already had "WOW!"

i was in the fragrance section at a department store, and a sales associate next to me was restocking this fragrance(as in, she was putting more unopened boxes behind the tester etc). now, those boxes all gave off this delicious sillage and i fell in love. so, i tested it out and the initial spray of this is gorgeous - its like a sparkly juicy pear with iris. that fades away in some minutes and it dries down to a cashmeran and iris-lipsticky fragrance with a hint of musk, benzoin and carrot(which works well here) and just a tiny tiny hint of that pear from the top notes. i could see how this could be a disappointing scent for some but if you love those frags that have iris and are makeup-powdery, then this is so nice - its more of a fresh iris/powder, if that makes sense even though i wish the drydown was just like the initial spray/topnotes, i still like it - its classy, elegant, luxurious this is what i would call a wedding scent

I have warm feelings towards this scent because I’d been approached by a sales rep in Hudson’s Bay and given the sample in the way they used to do when they actually wanted you to try (and buy) the perfume; nowadays they smack your hand away from the tester bottles saying “let me do that” and roll their eyes if you ask for samples. Or maybe they only do that to rundown, broke-looking people like me, lol. The scent itself is very strong, headache-inducing if oversprayed. In small doses it’s nice; the iris feels like a throwback to classic iris scents, the musk has a harsh lavender-like detergent quality but the benzoin and cashmeran are sweet and soft. There’s a bright sharp top note that feels like orange or lemon and it comes and goes like blinking fairy lights. I guess the sales reps judge me correctly because I can’t/wouldn’t buy this, but I like it and I feel like I’m sticking my tongue out at snooty people when I wear it.

Tiffany intense is an elegant, soft and powdery scent. It's non headache-inducing, ie it's office friendly except that the person who wears it may not need to work, or they'll smell that way. It's the perfect Tiffany-branded perfume suitable for day to evening. I'm surprised there's not more hype about this except that the one thing it is not, is spectacular. It's a nice, safe, elegant and mature perfume vibing similar to Dior Addict without the spice - quite the holiday perfume. Tiffany Intense is nice, elevated. Not sexy, not gourmand. Projection is nice. Everything about this perfume is nice including the bottle and the price. A safe buy if you enjoy Iris and Violet. This is a "nice" staple leaning mature, elegant, reserved and signature or holiday. Upscale, quietly pleasant and unusual with decent sillage and projection but yet soft and reserved. A lovely blend for year-round wear.
