This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a bold, confident statement for the 'boss lady', others find it screechy, masculine-leaning, and overpriced, smelling like anything from cleaning products to old-lady perfume. Definitely try before you buy, as Creed's pricing is no joke.

The Intense edition amplifies The Essence Vault's No. 75, pushing the green apple and rose harder over a deeper musk-sandalwood base in a Parfum strength. It's a house intensification rather than a dupe of any separate Creed release, and while it improves on the standard No. 75's longevity, it still can't reach the layered peach-cassis-ylang richness of the genuine Aventus for Her - the amplification reads more like volume than added complexity.
