The Essence Vault Flowerbomb - 14 - Intense is a Parfum. Flowerbomb - 14 - Intense opens with Tea and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla. The Essence Vault's Flowerbomb - 14 - Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

The Intense turns up the volume on No.14's Flowerbomb homage with a heavier vanilla-patchouli base, but the amplified sweetness reads more one-note than Flowerbomb Extreme's layered richness, and it still fades faster than the original.

About

No. 14 - Intense is The Essence Vault's amplified take on its Flowerbomb-inspired No.14, pushing the same orchid-jasmine-rose bouquet into a richer, more concentrated register closer to Flowerbomb Extreme. The opening keeps the same fresh tea and bergamot lift before diving into a denser floral heart, and the base adds a thick vanilla-patchouli blanket for extra warmth and projection compared to the standard version. It genuinely reads bigger and sweeter on first spray, delivering the maximalist floral-gourmand impact the Flowerbomb line is known for. Where it falls short is complexity - the extra concentration boosts volume rather than nuance, so the composition still feels like a single sweet accord rather than Flowerbomb's carefully layered bouquet, and even with the added vanilla and patchouli it settles down within four to six hours rather than lasting into the night. A fun, louder alternative for anyone who wants more sillage from the No.14 line without the original's price tag.
