Someone beautiful just passed by, someone wearing Intoxication!
Intoxication - the poisoning, the intoxication - a fragrance like you can look for a long time today. The Eau de Toilett is in the same "pleated" Lalique bottle as the Extrait de Parfum, however, the EdT has unfortunately above the metal cap, which serves as a screw cap, a plastic cap with the same pleating as the bottle.
Un this is also the only shortcoming of the EdT: the cap is made of plastic, not glass and became brittle and fragile over time, which reduces the Lalique flacon somewhat in value. At the top of the cap is clearly visible the D'Orsay coat of arms, which also no longer enhances the brittle cap.
The Eau de Toilette is not quite identical to the perfume, which is clearly softer than the EdT.
Here is then also nothing more of the initial softness to feel. On the contrary, the fragrance here reaches a dry, almost creaky florality, as only jasmine, gardenia, violet, lily of the valley and similar candidates can achieve. The dryness of the heart note is not powdery, but tart dry, but without being bitter, because the floral sweetness acts clearly with hinein.
In the projection, the whole is less creaky yet quite loud, very perceptible and with the inkling of the initial softness.
The base smells only slightly woody, rather mossy, tart-dark with clearly resinous chord. If animal notes should be included here, but only carefully dosed. They are for me in any case not to be perceived.
In any case, the EdT is clearly louder than the Extrait de Parfum, which is rather determined by softness. In contrast, the EdT is a huge floral accord with dark background notes. It lasts extremely long.
As is often the case, the difference between Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Toilette surprised me. They are largely similar but still different in their effect. Soft and gourmand (Parfum) against clearly loud and slightly creaky (EdT).
However, both are beautiful fragrances, even today.

I bought a small bottle as a perfume, thanks to your advice it is now unfortunately "only" an EdT... and so I have no comparison to the perfume....
