The shared signature
Vanilla and lavender connect the two editions. That makes this a comparison of texture and emphasis rather than a completely different scent identity.
What Intense adds
Smoky vanilla wood is the clearest published difference. It gives Intense a darker woody reference point around the vanilla trio and lavender essence.
Which feels lighter?
The original is the lighter direction on paper because its description focuses on luminous lavender around the vanilla trio rather than smoky wood.
Which feels sweeter?
Both are vanilla-led, so sweetness is central to both. Intense may feel denser rather than simply sweeter; skin testing is the better way to judge the balance.
Does Intense last longer?
Do not assume it from the name alone. Compare equal amounts in similar conditions and check both projection and the late drydown.
Bottom line
Choose Goddess EDP for luminous lavender with vanilla; choose Intense if smoky vanilla wood sounds more appealing.
