Nose-Burning Floral Powder
Chloe's Love Eau Intense is perhaps a little too intense for me. I find the regular EDP versions heavy enough, so one step up in terms of projection, usually results in a head spin and a possible headache.
To start with, I'm not a big fan of Love, so this more intense flanker was not something I expected to enjoy. I tested it for the sake of seeing how the intense version compared to the original. Unfortunately they smell almost identical.
The opening of Love Eau Intense is quite a strong, powdery and soapy blend of lilac, iris and hyacinth. The blend itself is actually quite beautiful, but it's the strength of the opening that makes it a horrible experience for me. It's just way too strong. Every time I smell Love Eau Intense, my sensitive nose burns with the strength of it.
This is one of those fragrances that you have to be really careful with. If over applied it will easily become offensive, almost causing everyone, (including the wearer), to asphyxiate. It's also a good idea to let this fragrance dry on the skin before leaving the house.
The only part of Love Eau Intense that I liked, was the drydown. Thankfully the scent does become increasingly softer the longer it stays on the skin. The base notes are quite smooth and balanced, with a hint of iris, musk and vanilla.
Love Eau Intense is a rather warm and elegant fragrance when worn sparingly. Due to its 'out of this world' sillage and lasting strength, I would most likely choose to wear Love Eau Intense as a night-time only fragrance.
