Ascendant Intense

by Julien Rasquinet

Oriflame Ascendant Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Julien Rasquinet. Ascendant Intense opens with Cardamom, Blood Orange, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Clary Sage, and Guarana, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Cedar, and Amber. Oriflame's Ascendant Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

A reliable, crowd-pleasing spicy amber with a citrus zest. It's often compared to Versace Eros, but Ascendant Intense stands on its own as a great value, versatile scent, though its sillage is on the modest side.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Given its moderate sillage and warm spicy profile, this fragrance is suitable for the office where it won't overpower. It excels on dates or casually due to its inviting and masculine aroma, but might be too intense for rigorous sport or not quite formal enough for very strict black-tie events.

About

Ascendant Intense opens with a bright, zesty burst of blood orange and petitgrain, quickly tempered by the exotic warmth of cardamom. This citrus-spice blend smoothly transitions into a heart of fiery cinnamon, a unique touch of guarana for an almost nutty nuance, and the herbal precision of clary sage. The base settles into a rich, inviting amber, deepened by the resinous labdanum and grounding cedar, creating a long-lasting, alluring trail.
