What does Cologne Intense smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn and winter further behind. It is chosen most often for business, daily wear and leisure. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without filling a room.

The opening pairs citrus notes with ginger for freshness and a light touch of spice. Jasmine then adds a soft floral note, while Virginia cedar brings dry woodiness. Haitian vetiver and Indian woods form a green, woody base, and the overall impression is clean, lively and uncomplicated.
