What you see is what you get!
Sandalwood caramel meets musk rose... that's how simple one could summarize the comment on the new Lacoste release. Yes, indeed... could...! I would like to whet your appetite a bit though...
For me, the Intense is a gourmand cuddler, made for cooler temperatures, that completely does without berries and opaque floral notes.
At the opening, a bunch of caramel candies rushes at you. Not the hard ones, thankfully, but the buttery soft ones that barely in the air release their enchanting scent. Soon I notice the wood note coming through, which takes a bit of the sweetness away from the caramel overload, although I am more reminded of the taste that takes hold of you after too much consumption. Just before you really have had enough. The wood duo skillfully catches that. I perceive the rose as a subtle accessory on the side, while the musk comes across as a full-bodied and very fine coulis. Lacoste pour Femme Intense is a gourmand of a scent, a sweetheart as it should be, and a worse seducer than Casanova ever was.
For me, this Intense could be a bit more intense, it soon becomes a bit subdued, as if it doesn't dare to spread its irresistible charm. And maybe it's just because I don't completely drench myself in it. The longevity is decent, and when you think the candies are all gone, a few unexpected ones pop up here and there. Only that they don't have quite as much flavor as the first ones. All in all, a nice and delicious alternative to the original, which itself is more about strong floral notes.
The color of the Intense bottle already makes your mouth water in anticipation.
And here it definitely holds true: "What you see is what you get"!

Very creamy, for me it’s more on the lightly caramel side, just lovely-nothing exciting, but also not boring!
