What does Intense smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. It reads as feminine, though some voters find it classic or modern.

It opens with citrus notes and lily, then moves to rose, jasmine and honey in the heart. Patchouli and vanilla settle at the base. The accords are floral and fruity first, then sweet and gourmand, while spicy, woody and resinous touches give the sweetness an oriental warmth. Al Rehab Balkis and Boadicea the Victorious Passionate have a close profile.
