What does B. Balenciaga Intense smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean towards spring, summer and fall, and towards office and daily wear, while winter gets few votes.

Taken as a whole it reads fresh and green. The coolness of green tea meets the fruity tone of blueberry, and queen-of-the-night adds a soft floral touch. Cedar and mahogany give it a woody, lightly spicy base, with soy bean staying in the background. Balenciaga B. Balenciaga and Les Parfums de Rosine Eloge du Vert have a close profile.
