What does Intricate smell like?

The scent is built on leather, civet, musk, violet and oud. The animal and leathery sides dominate, while resinous and woody accords set them on a warm, dark base. Violet softens that rough edge a little, and the oriental spice deepens the smoky feel.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it works best for evenings and nights out. Close to half of voters read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex. It shares a close profile with Boadicea the Victorious Elaborate and Swiss Arabian Dehn El Oud Malaki.
