It was launched in 2020 and has top notes of neroli, green apple, and Italian mandarin; middle notes of jasmine, coconut, and orange blossom; and base notes of vanilla, cashmere wood, and cedar. It has been described as "an intricate combination of intense and solar sensuality" and "an absolute essence of mesmerizing allure and irresistible sensuality."
The perfume has received mixed reviews. Some people love its "hypnotic" and "bewitching" scent, while others find it too strong and overwhelming. It has been compared to other fragrances such as Mugler's Alien, which is known for its strong jasmine note. One reviewer even said that The Only One Intense is a "linear perfume" that is "too simple" and "not a safe blind buy." However, others have praised its longevity and sillage, saying that it "lasts forever" and "creates a scent cloud."
