Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum Intense
by Guerlain
Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum Intense is a rich, layered fragrance that embodies a warm, luxurious femininity. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and aromatic lavender, underpinned by a complex interplay of vanilla, licorice, and balsamic notes. Over time, it settles into a soft, powdery blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and sandy sandalwood, creating a cozy, enveloping scent that feels both elegant and intimate. The composition is deeply gourmand—sensual, creamy, and subtly sweet—without ever becoming cloying. Its moderate to strong sillage and long-standing longevity make it ideal for evening wear and colder seasons, where its depth and warmth truly shine. While some find it too sweet or dominant in vanilla, the majority praise its balance, sophistication, and wearable elegance. It’s particularly beloved for its ability to feel both comforting and glamorous, making it a signature scent for mature, confident women.
