Pleasures Intense

The house today breaks Pleasures Intense down into three stages: green lily, Le Charme peony and blackcurrant at the top; Moroccan rose, pink tiger lily and jasmine at the center; maple wood, benzoin crystals and vanilla at the base. It classes it among lush florals.

What the house declares

Green lily and peony petals open onto a clarity that blackcurrant makes sparkle. The bouquet at the center intensifies with exotic flowers; the base, warm and sensual, pairs pale maple wood with resin crystals.

The launch formula

Osmoz describes the 2002 version with tiare alongside rose and jasmine, and styrax crystals rather than benzoin at the base. The house’s current breakdown no longer mentions tiare.

What the label declares

The current European ingredient list, coded ILN49285, names only denatured alcohol, fragrance, water and allergens: linalool, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, citronellol, farnesol, eugenol, isoeugenol, limonene, citral, benzyl benzoate, cinnamyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol.

Three antioxidants complete it, tocopherol, dilauryl thiodipropionate and BHT. An earlier list, coded ILN37985, carried an allergen banned in the Union since March 2022: the formula was reworked without it.

What remains outside the declared accord

Eugenol and isoeugenol, with their spicy carnation accents, answer the spices the house promised in 2002; farnesol and geraniol support the flowers. Maple wood, vanilla and benzoin remain blended into the generic term fragrance.
