What does Arena Intense smell like?

Bergamot opens it fresh; in the heart, pear, rose, black pepper, saffron and elemi resin set a floral sweetness against a spicy warmth. The base of musk, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla settles it into a soft, woody, sweet foundation.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters find both strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It also scores high for value. Those after a close profile may want to look at Birkholz Amber Intense and Rasasi Hawas London.
