My Way Intense is a warm, sweet, and floral EDP centered around tuberose with a prominent bubblegum-like quality, grounded by vanilla and sandalwood. The opening bursts with citrus and orange blossom, creating a fresh, juicy, and immediately noticeable sweetness. Over time, the tuberose becomes more dominant, giving the scent a lush, creamy, and slightly candied profile that many describe as refreshing and playful but also quite heavy and sweet. The longevity is strong, lasting 6 to 8 hours or more on skin and lasting on clothing for days, despite moderate sillage after the first hour. It's widely regarded as a more intense, deeper, and longer-lasting version of the original My Way, with a stronger, warmer base that some describe as more mature and sultry. Despite shared notes, it’s considered distinct enough to be worn alone, especially in cooler seasons or for evening wear. It has a very generous sillage initially, making it impossible to miss on someone nearby, and it consistently receives compliments. However, the scent’s intensity, sweetness, and bubblegum-like character can feel overwhelming or cloying for some, particularly in hot weather or for sensitive noses. It’s universally seen as feminine, sophisticated, and best suited for spring, autumn, or winter.
