The company say:
J'adore Intense leaves on the skin a gourmand trail of sensual, luscious flowers at their olfactory peak. Concentrated in this floral nectar, all the flowers gain intensity and volume. Jasmine, the ultimate sensual flower, is tinged with apricot accents, while the rose becomes full-bodied and addictive. Ylang-ylang, the flower of the sun, envelops the composition in luminous warmth.
At the base, notes of soft sandalwood and generous vanilla complete this grand gourmand and bold floral olfaction. J'adore Intense embodies in this trail a sovereign, sensual, and assertive femininity.

Latest Reviews of J'Adore Intense
I admit I haven’t been the biggest cheerleader for Dior’s releases for the past few years, and I thought the original J'Adore needed another flanker about as much as I need a pair of skinny jeans after forty.
I stand corrected. Folks, J'Adore Intense is nothing short of fabulous.
Scanning the note pyramid beforehand, I fully expected to roll my eyes. But J'Adore Intense is the PERFECT amount of sweet. Usually I consider anything this sweet to be juvenile and tacky. And while I know that perfectly describes the aesthetic 'some' of you strive for (side eye at specific people), this manages to pull it off in an old-school powerhouse kind of way.
The apricot in the opening is heavy-handed. When the ylang-ylang and jasmine make their appearance, the sweetness hits a peak before settling into just the perfect balance of honey and sandalwood. The vanilla is there, but it seems to take a back seat. It all blends perfectly.
Not only is the fragrance beautiful, but the quality is impressive. My body is a furnace that burns through most fragrances in a few hours, but this one stays with me the entire day.
But it's not all perfection. While it is pretty, the bottle is shockingly CHEAP. The glass is PAPER THIN, and there's no way I'd pack this in a suitcase or carry it in a bag. You tap the side and it feels like a Christmas ornament. Yes, it's THAT thin and if you drop it once or knock it over, it'll be a goner. I'd recommend only buying the smallest bottle available.

I think the ladies will really like this one. A beautiful combination of rose, apricot jasmine and ylang ylang push this to the limit of feminine fragrances. It has that old school vibe that just makes me think of my good smelling auntie that I missed back in the day. I actually smell all the notes in this one. Projection and longevity are above average.
