The review

On paper, Leonie Intense is a reasonable bet if you want Libre for less.

Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Libre's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on lavender, mandarin orange and black currant, turns to lavender, orange blossom and jasmine, and settles into madagascar vanilla, musk and cedar. That is the brief Leonie Intense is working from.

Top

  • lavender
  • mandarin orange
  • black currant

Heart

  • lavender
  • orange blossom
  • jasmine

Base

  • madagascar vanilla
  • musk
  • cedar
For the one who refuses to be tamed, craving a bold lavender-and-vanilla contrast that feels cool, sophisticated and unmistakably, freely feminine.
