OrientalWhat does Boss Intense (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most see it as feminine.
It opens fresh with spices, oxygen and kumquat. The heart of rose, jasmine and vanilla adds a sweet floral warmth. It dries down on patchouli, benzoin, musk, sandalwood and amber, woody and powdery. Boss Intense Shimmer Edition and Serge Lutens Louve have a close profile.
