How does L'Intense differ from the original DesirToxic?+−
While they share the core DNA of spicy cardamom and cannabis, L'Intense is significantly more potent and emphasizes the green, fresh, and minty aspects. It is often described as a "10x stronger" version that feels richer and deeper in the drydown.
Is this suitable for the office?+−
Because of its "beast mode" sillage and potency, it can be risky for small office environments. If worn to work, most enthusiasts recommend a very light hand (one or two sprays) to avoid overpowering colleagues.
What are the best seasons to wear this fragrance?+−
It is surprisingly versatile. Its minty freshness makes it wearable in the transitional weather of spring, while its warm cinnamon, tonka, and amber base allow it to stand up beautifully to the cold of fall and winter.
Does the cannabis note smell like smoke?+−
No, the cannabis note here is green and resinous rather than smoky or literal. It adds a botanical, slightly herbaceous texture to the woody and mossy base without smelling like burnt material.
