French Avenue Intense Addiction is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Intense Addiction opens with Apple Blossom and Orange, settles into a heart of Orchid and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk and Honey. French Avenue's Intense Addiction carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper troublemaker, polarising opinions between those who find it an addictive, beast-mode dupe of Initio's Addictive Vibrations and those who smell a low-quality 'dumpster juice'. Approach with caution, but if it hits right, it hits hard.

Its beast-mode projection and high sweetness make it a bit much for the office. It's a clear winner for dates, given its sensual and head-turning qualities, but best applied lightly. The bold floral-honey mix makes it too heavy for sport but can work casually with a light hand.

About

Intense Addiction opens with a bright, crisp apple blossom and a juicy orange, quickly settling into a luxurious heart where creamy vanilla intertwines with the delicate floral notes of orchid. The base reveals a rich, syrupy honey drenched in a skin-like musk, providing a deeply sensual and warm finish. This is a bold, sweet floral with an oriental warmth.
