Review of Promise Me Intense by aad de gids

right after spritzing it became clear that the Intense version of Mauboussins Promise Me derives from the sophisticated and Lady Like Classic perfume Promise Me yet adds an even more profound perfumial Imprint. right away you smell a very Posh and Opulent Rose-Oud accord. (Black Rose, I once had one !) it is not like a Montale (which I all love) but more demure and very subtly concipiated like the Rose-Oud Hayari Rose-Chic and the fine Rose-Oud from Alexandre J, Rose-Oud which listed first no Oud, yet in its deLuxe version of this perfume, Oud is present but also very sophisticated. it is difficult to understand how such sparse the Number of Notes, can bring such Layered, Blended and Refined perfume. I guess, being a Haute Joaillerie-Parfum, only the highest quality of ingredients were used. it progresses from its Classy and Refined sister Promise Me, also proposes a Lady Like Palette, and in retrospect defining thát perfume (Promise Me) as really special and palpative perfume with a Blousy yet Grande Dame Palette, back as a worthy perfume. nevertheless is this perfume still more my cup of tea. a grandiose experience.
