Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - All Of Me Intense EDP

Narciso Rodriguez All Of Me Intense is a pretty, crowd-pleasing floral musk that keeps the original's DNA, only cranked up a notch. It splits opinion on whether it's truly 'intense' but universally delivers a sophisticated, long-lasting scent. If you want compliments, this could be your everyday signature.

Our Verdict - Heures d'Absence EDT

Heures d'Absence is a perfectly pleasant floral musk that’s pretty, clean, and a bit 'meh'. Prepare for accusations of shampoo or hair dye, and a price tag that many agree is not justified for its performance and linearity. You'll either adore its delicate elegance or find it utterly boring.

Season and Occasion Fit

All Of Me Intense

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual Formal

Despite its 'intense' moniker, many reviewers found this suitable for office wear due to its moderate sillage that wears close to the skin after the opening. Its romantic floral and musky profile make it an excellent choice for date nights, while its general crowd-pleasing nature allows for versatile wear across casual and semi-formal settings.

Heures d'Absence

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

Its clean, light floral and musky profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual settings where an inoffensive scent is preferred. The consensus on its weak projection and longevity means it's too subtle for formal events or a standout date night, but could work for sport if you want a fresh lift.
