Elie Saab Le Parfum Intense
Elie Saab (2013)

A lovely summer evening being in a garden birthday party with the warmed up air filled by the sweet smells of blooming white flowers and surrounded by orange trees a nice honey cake. Le Parfum Intense is a deeper, richer and more sensual version of the original. A great orange blossom and honey fragrance. The sweetness is not overpowering but rather sensual. It smells warm and fresh at the same time but it still gives you that aura of mystery and confidence. Luxurious, chic, versatile, seductive, ladylike, rich, confident, optimistic and exciting.

The freshness of orange blossom hardly contents you and then you move to get intoxicated by honey and ylang ylang. The base notes of amber and patchouli stays longer to seduce men as it gives them an irresistible urge to kiss its wearer on the cheek. The white floral note is not overpowering since it is tempared by the honey,amber and ylang ylang. As the perfume melts into my skin, it gets increasingly sweet. Suitable for a mysterious and seductive, yet romantic and delicate lady. Perfect for a special evening or when you are going on a date. An elegant scent in a aluuring way.

This is the perfume that made me realise that orange blossom gives me a headache - which disappointed me, because this stuff is exquisite.
It's orange blossom all the way for the first hour, then patchouli and honey come along to add a sticky plushness that rounds the perfume off beautifully. Taken altogether, it is very strong, and has a massive lasting power (ie: if you don't like it, you will have to scrub it off).

It has a stunning, sweet and classy scent.
It is an oriental-floral type of perfume.

I went to a fragrance store and tried around 20 new perfumes and this is the best one of them in addition to Black Opium by YSL.

Also the notes in this perfume are commonly found in my favorite perfumes.

This is Coco's little cousin to me. The family resemblance is striking. I've enjoyed it so much; it's been a chance to re-visit a perfume I wore so much in the late 80s without actually wearing a perfume I wore so much in the late 80s. The time is now, and Ellie Saab has managed to create a modern, heady concoction. It's got some character, but it's not wearing shoulder pads.

Amazing! I received this as a Xmas gift. Last Xmas was Elie Saab EDT now this is even better!
The intense honey comes through but not sweet and sticky. But melts with the rose and orange. I swear I get some cinnamon but it's just me, not listed as a note. Amber is eh kinda noticeable nothing to speak of. This is just a wonderful scent and now I'm dying to try his next, out soon they say.
