Promise Me Intense

I bought this after buying Mauboussin 'Elixir' which is phenomenal via reviews on FraganticaBack to Fragantica website and saw this one had even higher reviews.It knocked me back on first spray a mixture of cherry tunes and femme fresh, not what I wanted or expected.Ten mins later on dry down I had a dry pot pourri black rose and a spicy woody leather with the subtlest hint of berry.This is not a sweet girly rose.It is a sophisticated, woody, dry semi masculine rose with a massive hit of wood and I absolutelyLOVE IT.It smells expensive and slightly masculine and makes you think of Victorian dried roses, leather and wood with the barest hint of pink fruit to lift it just that little bit towards the feminine.If you want a sugary and young rose oud this will not be for you.If you are comfy with vintage rose fragrances and a massive smack of wood and a touch of berry to elevate it past the masculine then you will love this.It is a sophisticated fragrance for women who can carry a masculine and woody rose oud and might steal their partners rose oud by Tom F.For me this is like TF for men with the slightest touch of pink.I love it and as usual for Mauboussin being an authentic French blend it smells way more expensive than it is.I am thrilled with it. It's as rich and red and woody as it gets. If Tim Burton made a fragrance I think it would be like this.

I bought this without sampling. It didn't suit my skin (I'm olive) and I thought it smelled too masculine on me. It smells like an aftershave to me, so I offered it to my husband who really likes it! Long lasting

I bought this for my Mother. She is very particular about her perfume and currently only wears J'Adore by Dior. So buying Promise Me Intense by Mauboussin was a bit of a gamble. It was meant for Xmas but I asked her to open it early. She loved it and I have to admit the fragrance is very nice. It's described as an Amber Floral scent (Top note is Lychee; middle note is Black Rose; base note is Agarwood aka Oud). To me its like all the mens fragrance styles I love, which include 1 Million, Obsession, Montblanc Legend, Ultraviolet. Floral, slightly spicy, slightly sweet notes but not as full on as something like Poison.For those who don't know Mauboussin are a Paris luxury jewellers based at 20 Place Vendôme, which puts them in the same league as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chaumet. Like many luxury fashion brands they produce their own fragrances and I guess Mauboussin don't want their reputation to suffer so they make sure they have an appealing scent. At £26/100ml the fragrance is fantastic value for money. I can't see where they have cut corners because the packaging and bottle are fantastic, too. Mum straight away praised the bottle design and popped it next to her J'Adore.

When first sprayed on the scent is lovely and if it had lasted longer then all would have been well.It lasted only around an hour!!I would not repurchase because of this. As it was inexpensive I guess it is a case of you get what you pay for.Pretty botttlr but no use if contents do not please.Having said that it may well suit others but I cannot recommend,

Very seductive and beautiful designer perfume 😍 long lasting and excellent quality 👌

This was a blind buy for me. I was drawn to the interesting bottle design. For the price and amount it is good value however for me personally the more I used it the more I grew to not be that in love with this. This perfume is nice enough on the dry down but the opening note is so strong and overwhelming. It very much hits you like a brick and it personally reminds me of beer or rum so its definitely not everyday wear.

Loved this perfume, good price point, great musky scent and overall good value for money.

But this for everyday use normally I always purchase the modern scent but I decided to try another colour big mistake, I do not like it smell horrible and decided to get rid of it.
