What does L'Intrigante smell like?

It opens with black pepper and spices, which give it a warm bite. Camellia and floral notes take over in the heart, bringing a powdery softness. In the base, woody notes, suede, musk and vanilla sweeten it and close on a leathery warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters spread their picks across all four seasons, with fall slightly ahead, and it leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Most voters read it as feminine and classic. Tom Ford Violet Blonde and L'Artisan Parfumeur Skin on Skin have a close profile.
