Mauboussin Promise Me Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Promise Me Intense opens with Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Oud. Mauboussin's Promise Me Intense carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

Promise Me Intense is a divisive number, an abrasive beast of a rose-oud, loved for its bold richness and surprising fruity twist, but hated with equal passion for its sharp, 'screechy' intensity. It's a proper statement, not for the faint-hearted.

About

This one hits hard with a powerful, almost gothic rose, amplified by a dry, woody oud that steers clear of anything animalic. A bright, jammy litchi cuts through the darkness, adding an unexpected tropical sweetness that keeps it from veering too serious, creating a potent, full-bodied aroma.
