Launched in 2022, Léonie Intense by Maison Alhambra captures the bold, sophisticated spirit of YSL Libre Intense at a highly accessible price point. Crafted for modern, confident women, this floral-oriental fragrance offers a radiant blend of lavender, mandarin orange, and blackcurrant in its opening, elegantly offset by bright petitgrain.
At its heart, delicate accords of orange blossom, jasmine, and lavender blossom create a luminous floral bouquet that’s both fresh and mature. The scent then unfolds into a creamy, enveloping base of Madagascar vanilla, warm amber, woody cedar, and subtle musk—delivering sensuality and longevity.
Léonie Intense has gained acclaim for being a nearly indistinguishable dupe of Libre Intense. Reviewers highlight its impressive performance, with many reporting 8+ hours of wear, excellent projection (especially early on), and enduring sillage that lasts on clothing. Its balance of florals, amber warmth, and elegant sweetness makes it ideal for both daytime confidence and memorable evening wear.
