Comme une Evidence L'Eau de Parfum Intense

I love the original version of this, it's a classic. But I was kind of tired of all the different versions of the same scent. When L'eau de parfum intense came out I was doubtful but curious enough to order it blindly. Compared to the musky, airy original with lily of the valley in the focus, this version is definitely rosier and woodsier. The note which is listed as "white woods" in the pyramid smells more like rosewood to me, which I usually recognise and appreciate in fragrances. The marriage of rose and wood is perfect. Another note that sticks out to me is chocolate, but not as obvious as the cocoa note in Cocoon, and definitely not the milky vanilla type found in many fragrances with "choco" in their name, which might be disappointing to some. But the note is still apparent to me. It's like the smell of pralines that hits me when I remove the cellophane wrap from the praline box, but before opening the box. It makes me weak and gives me cravings. This note goes so well with woods and rose. Like the original, this scent also contains that airiness and transparency which makes it seem so effortless yet chic. Although not an obvious gourmand, I would recommend it to the gourmand fans who want to try something a bit different from their usual scent palate, but still not too far from it.

I have to admit that I was sceptic about this flanker at first because I really loved the very first edition of Comme Une Evidence which was an eau de parfum. But then they changed the formulation into L'eau de parfum and added another L'eau flanker. Not to talk about their limited editions (however, that's just the packaging). I don't really enjoy the L'eau de parfum. It smells similar to the first edition, but yet they changed something and by doing that they took away what made this perfume smell so good! Also the first edition lasted all day with a lovely sillage, but the L'eau lacks both. Today I did try the L'eau Intense Version on my skin and I actually must say that I do like this one. I can definitely smell the pralines in this melting together with the rose. I must be one of the lucky ones, since most people claim they cannot smell the pralines. I really do smell it! It sweetens up the rose nicely, and adds a creamy texture, but it still remains it's floral freshness and elegance. I might revisit Comme Une Evidence again and when I do, it will be this version.

I smelled this while browsing the shop with my friend. Instant connection. They coincidentally had it on sale for 40% off, I bought it on the spot for approximately 20 something euros. I love love love this scent, so clean, so grown up like, but not in an Guerlain ma petite robe noir kind of way, more in an MCM or Hugo Alive way. This can be worn at the office for sure, but also as an everyday scent, maybe even as a signature scent. I could also see a mom def wearing it, it has such a kind aura to it. It was such an incredible surprise because I don’t like the original version and I just tried this one on a piece of paper while passing time, turns out I was not about to leave empty handed. It lasts on clothes better than on skin, but I don’t mind overspraying. I am overall very pleased with it. I was not expecting this from Yves Rocher, but I am glad I gave it a try.

Mmmmmm, I love this version of CUE! It opens kind of sweetish; the praline note is initially the strongest, but then it subsides to make way for a nice greenish-powdery blend of rose and jasmine. The final stage of the development is reserved for a gorgeous white woods note - I'm guessing that it's the same molecule that simulates the 'birch tree' scent in Nasomatto Blamage. That drydown alone is totally worth the price - it's sooo beautiful and calming. This scent lasts about 4-5 hours and projects moderately; it's a great everyday scent, totally office-friendly and won't offend any sensitive noses. Highly recommended!

I got sample of CuE L ́Eau de Parfum in my order and fell in love... and made another order. :) Later on, I had a chance to visit YR shop and try this "Intense" version. It is so much better! I will definitely buy this one in the future. I can smell pralines, but the scent is not sickly sweet, it is still elegant, sophisticated and in some way unique. Lot of "non-niche" scents have "dupe" or even "twin" scent, but I have not smelled scent similar to Comme un Evidence line. Annick Menardo is tallented nose.

On paper, the praline note is non-existent for me... It needs to be tested on skin. It reminds me a lot of the EDP "Comme une évidence" but sweeter, which I appreciate especially in cold weather! It is my favorite flanker of the whole "Comme une évidence" range. The longevity is very good, the projection is average (like all YR perfumes), and it's therefore perfect for work! 8/10

oh no... say it isn't so?! Another Comme une Evidence version? They took out Comme une Evidence eau de parfum and came with L'eau de parfum and now bring L'eau de parfum Intense? Doesn't make sense. They should have stayed with 1 or 2 versions, where's the need to keep making lighter (and 'so called' Intense) versions? When does it stop?

Comme une évidence intense is perfect for fall or winter. I can detect rose and fruits, but in a very mature and modern way ! I wore this perfume when I was at the university, when I had no money. Now Yves Rocher prices are so high that I consider it now as an expensive perfume....:)

Rose, rose, only rose. Boring and disappointing. Where is the praline ? Yes, it's fresh, delicate, feminine but nothing special. I love the Comme une Evidence collection but I would have prefer something sweeter. Im waiting for Comme une Evidence Praline Intense ;)

It is identical with Blanc de Paris by Scent of Canvas. It's lovely, a hologram of white flowers with a hint of rose. It also stays true to its intense name, as longevity is there. Affordable and spring friendly, on my radar!

An affordable "signature" scent for me. Feels very feminine and girly. It stays longer on the skin when compared to the not-"Intense" version of Evidence. I will definitely repurchase it after I finish my first bottle.

Rose and praline in perfect combination. One of Yves Rocher's finest offerings, no doubt. If you love rose and sweet stuff, don't let this one pass. That'd be criminal.

Notes via YR: Damask rose oil, Jasmin Grandiflorum Sunny accords (?) white woods praline. Please-better research before put out the news!

Its sweeter than the EDP ,Its my signature perfume, I love it very much , long lasting and sillage is good , smell rich but fun

A creamier, sweeter version of the original. I love it and wish I knew about it sooner. Floral, fresh praline for adults.

I love it so much .Its better than the orginal version. not so sweet and milky :) Feel so gentle.

My favourite fragrance from Yves Rocher. A more sensual version of Comme Une Evidence, because of the honey and the praline, it reminds me a little bit of the Chipie fragrance of the 90's, but I loved that scent a lot more, because it was more outspoken. This scent is a lot more mature and flowery though. I really love rosescents, so that makes this scent a winner for me. I like the rose in this better than the rose in the original CUE. The original CUE is a cool chypre fragrance, while this is a warm flowery scent. In general I find the scents of Yves Rocher very middle of the road, they lack the guts to be outspoken, this scent is more outspoken though. In fact, my friend who really only likes soft boring perfumes like CKin2U, that I don't even notice on her, thinks that this scent is too heavy. But then again, she is pregnant right now, so her smell is hightened, maybe she will like it after the baby is born. Fortunately I really do pick up on the praline note and that is really a welcome addition to this scent. Just like the original CUE, CUEI reminds me of Pleasures, but this one even more. I still love Pleasures a lot better. Allthough Pleasures isn't sensual and this scent is, Pleasures immediately lights up my mood, while this scent doesn't. I have received a lot of compliments when I wore Pleasures and never got a single compliment when I wore a scent by Yves Rocher. Of course, YR is a lot cheaper, but since I have more than enough fragrances at the moment, I decided to buy no more Yves Rocher scents, because I honestly rather wear one of my other scents, but now I am pushing myself to also wear YR, because I got it. I like my scents of YR, but I love my scents made by Estee Lauder, Chanel, Lancome etc. and even the advantegeous ID Parfums etc. EDIT: I started experimenting with layering and I layered this fragrance with Siam Flamboyant, one of my favourites at this moment. I thought that the addition of vanilla, white pepper, benzoine, mandarin orange, frangipani and orange flower could work, and yes it did. This fragrance is delicious combined with Siam Flamboyant.

I received a bottle of this perfume as a birthday gift with my order and I'm having a love-hate realtionship with it. Upon first spray, I love it. It is flowery and gourmand, all at the same time. It's like somebody dipped a bunch of roses in a milky chocolate glaze - which, I admit, might sound weird, but it works. It is sweet and floral and non-offensive, but still able to make a statement. But then it dries down, and my relationship with this perfume slowly turns to hate. It remains fairly sweet (not cloyingly sweet though), but it has the same grandma-closet smell that bothers me in Anais Anais (another perfume that thrilled me when I first sprayed it upon my wrist, only to be massively disappointed a few minutes later). And while I love jasmine, I can say that I would've prefered this perfume without it. The jasmine in Comme une Evidence Intense is dry and reminiscent of the mothballs in my grandma's closet. I could've loved this perfume, but it wasn't meant to be. The first few minutes of pure bliss are not worth the disappointing dry down. The sillage is moderate to heavy in my case, and the longevity is really good. On my skin, this perfume lasts about 8 hours, although as time goes by, it becomes more of a skin scent. This perfume might work for some, but definetely not for me. Later edit: For some reason, I woke up one day reaching for this unused bottle in my collection. I don't know why and how, but the mothball drydown I was describing earlier is gone. I am left with lovely roses and milky praline and I couldn't be happier. My once unused bottle is now used at least three times a week. I use it when I want to feel like a lady, but also when I go to sleep and need a comforting scent. Later edit number 2: Two months later and I'm back to mothball drydown, how lovely! This perfume confuses me like no other.

Today I received my own very first YR perfume! My mother-in-law always wore YR and through her I had already been introduced to different scents in the past and when I did a spray today, I immediately got the YR vibes! That fresh, fairy, almost unreal deliciousness! Somehow, YR has its own unique DNA, which you'll only find in their products. Where I almost always give up with the big brands, because the compositions are too loud and combinations of notes too strange, YR seems to be able to come up with a perfect blend, which smells like it really comes from nature. Is it interesting, fascinating? No, not necessarily, but elegant, not intrusive and somehow quite authentic to the ingredients. Lots of very sweet delicious rose and when you don't pay too much attention to it, it seems edible as schwartzwalder kirschtorte. Jasmine subtly adds some intoxication. Wood is mainly perceived in the dry down and then makes it a tad masculine. I bought this perfume because I am quite charmed by Idole, also a strong rose and jasmine, but with more interesting additions such as cedar, pepper, patchouli and musk. I do miss something here with Comme une evidence intense. Maybe a little lavender, a little vanilla like with Mon Guerlain? Just a little extra, but for this price I don't mind smelling a little less complex during the week. The bottle also looks elegant, nice solid glass with a (in the new version) decorated back of a kind of waves or waving grass. A nice sturdy cap and very nice atomizer! YR does this really well!

This is a slightly heavier version of the original Evidence. I’ve bought it more than once and finished the bottles, which already says a lot. Compared to the original, which I see more as a spring and summer scent, this one feels more versatile and can be worn all year round, including autumn and winter. It’s a very safe, feminine, and elegant perfume. Nothing groundbreaking, but very easy to wear. Since I love florals, this is one of the florals I genuinely enjoy. The projection is nice, although I don’t find it as long-lasting as the original Evidence, and that’s okay for me. If I come across a good deal, I would definitely repurchase it
