Salvador Dalí ITISLOVE Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Michel Almairac. ITISLOVE Intense opens with Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Pomegranate, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Rose, Iris, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Salvador Dalí's ITISLOVE Intense carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a gorgeous, romantic floral while others are put off by a harsh opening or a 'girly' vibe. It's a divisive scent, so test it first if you're curious.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and sweet, cuddly dry down make it suitable for close encounters like dates, where its romantic appeal shines. It's a bit too 'intense' and potentially distracting for office wear, and not fresh enough for sports or truly formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Narcissus Poeticus Extract from Narcissus
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a lively, somewhat sharp burst of pink pepper and juicy grapefruit, brightened by a hint of pomegranate. As it settles, a floral heart emerges, featuring powdery iris and rose, softened by the unique, slightly hay-like aroma of immortelle and the distinctive scent of narcissus. The dry down is a warm, cosy blend of musk, creamy vanilla, and smooth sandalwood, with amber adding a soft glow.
