“The smell stays on my skin and clothes all day”: this vanilla and sandalwood perfume offers exceptional staying power (rated 4.9/5 on Sephora)

A perfume can sometimes intrigue you even before the first spray. A golden bottle, a composition that goes off the beaten track and a name that promises more character with its new creation.

But don’t just rely on its looks. Above all, this perfume has a rather unusual olfactory association, which distances this intense eau de parfum from overly predictable feminine compositions.

Zadig L’Intense dares a surprising sesame accord

It is from the first notes that the perfume displays its singularity. Zadig L’Intense opens with a duo of black and golden sesame, accompanied by ginger and incense. An introduction that contrasts with the floral or fruity flourishes to which feminine perfumes have accustomed us.

The composition then evolves towards a brighter heart. Orange blossom meets a vinyl accord, before the fragrance gradually reveals its warmest facet.

Vanilla and sandalwood give character to Zadig L’Intense

In the base, vanilla combines with sandalwood and guaiac wood. The perfume then takes on a more enveloping and woody dimension, while retaining the contrast established by sesame and orange blossom.

The Zadig L’Intense formula is certified vegan and contains 90% ingredients of natural origin. To let its different notes evolve on your skin, the brand recommends spraying the perfume on the pulse points, in particular the inside of the wrists, the neck and the décolleté.

The golden bottle of Zadig L’Intense does not go unnoticed

Zadig & Voltaire retains one of the distinctive signs of its perfume: its wing-shaped bottle. For this intense version, it is adorned with a metallic gold finish which gives it the appearance of a jewel and immediately highlights its difference with the original fragrance.

The bottle is also refillable. So you can keep it once finished. With its sesame at the opening, its orange blossom at the heart and its vanilla, sandalwood and guaiac trio at the base, Zadig L’Intense plays above all on unusual contrasts to impose its own olfactory signature.
