What does Belle de Nuit Intense smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though with few voters these figures are only a rough guide. It reads feminine.

The top is gardenia, tuberose, pear and ylang-ylang, with the pear adding a fruity, sweet freshness to the flowers. The heart of lily of the valley, rose and jasmine keeps the floral line going. The base of musk and sandalwood leaves a soft, powdery finish. Fresh, sweet and synthetic accords round it out. Ulric de Varens UDV pour Elle and Laura Biagiotti Roma Fiori Bianchi have a close profile.
