WoodyWhat does L'Eau Intense (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening is led by mint and citrus, with lemon and grapefruit keeping it fresh. In the heart, lavender and birch leaf add a green, lightly floral touch, with an aquatic coolness running through it. The base brings ginger and cardamom for spice, while cedarwood and woods give it a dry, woody footing.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most mentioned occasions. Its character is mostly seen as masculine and modern. Cerruti 1881 Sport and Perry Ellis 360° for Men have a close profile.
