What does Scent Intense smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, though leisure and daily use also get votes. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either side.

Green tea, bergamot and cardamom give a clean, lightly spiced opening. Hibiscus, rose and jasmine sambac bring a floral, slightly fruity softness to the heart. The base of patchouli, leather, vanilla, ambergris and sandalwood dries down sweet, woody and earthy.
