I recently reviewed the original Burberry Goddess and loved it! So, when I discovered there was an Intense version, I couldn’t wait to try it. As someone who is always drawn to rich, warm fragrances, the idea of an even deeper, more powerful take on the vanilla scent instantly excited me. With promises of heightened intensity and a bolder, more ambery profile, I was eager to see how it compares to the original. Here’s what I’ve discovered…

Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum Intense

What Does Burberry Goddess Intense Smell Like?


Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum Intense smells like a confident woman. It’s a statement scent that’ll turn heads. Lavender takes centre stage in the top notes of this perfume; it starts clean and fresh before the Goddess DNA emerges in the middle. Unlike the more demure Goddess Eau de Parfum, the Intense has a powerful energy. If you like YSL Libre, it has similar qualities.

This Burberry fragrance is a gourmand aromatic woody scent. The signature trio of vanillas from Goddess Eau de Parfum is amplified with a fourth vanilla wood (vanilla SFE), that has a smoky character. When combined with luminous lavender essence, it intensifies the fragrance with a vibrant woody scent.

  • A statement vanilla fragrance that’ll make you feel confident and sex
  • It’s a more intense version of the original Goddess perfume
  • Patchouli in the base gives it a smooth, chocolatey twist.
  • You’ll smell it on your skin after 10+ hour
  • The bottle is refillable, so top-ups are more affordable.

Burberry Goddess Longevity…

Goddess Intense is an Eau de Parfum, which traditionally lasts 4 to 6 hours. On me, Goddess Intense lasted a little longer than that. I could smell it at the end of the day.

How Does It Compare To The Eau de Parfum?

The original Goddess is a much softer vanilla. It's light, airy, and super easy to wear. Goddess Intense, though, really amps things up. It’s warmer, creamier, and has this rich, ambery vibe that makes it feel bolder. While the original has that fresh, aromatic touch, the Intense version is more sultry and deep, perfect for when you want something with a little more impact.

Burberry Goddess Design and Aesthetic…

Goddess Intense's bottle is similar to the Eau de Parfum; it has a square bottle design with luxurious gold accents. The juice inside is a deeper, amber hue. Like the original, it can be easily refilled with a 200ml refill bottle.

Who Is The Face of Burberry Goddess?

Emma Mackey is the face of the Burberry Goddess fragrance range. The British-French actress is best known for her role in Sex Education and has more recently starred in the Oscar-nominated movie Barbie. Burberry chose Mackey as she "represents the confidence, strength and kindness of the Goddess woman".
