What does DesirToxic L'Intense smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter close behind. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, and also finds a place for leisure and daily use. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex.
The top is lemon, bergamot, saffron and cardamom, bright and spicy at first. In the heart, mint, cinnamon and blackcurrant bring a sweet, fruity edge. The base of patchouli, amber and moss settles into a woody, green ground. M. Micallef DesirToxic and Frapin L'Humaniste Extrême have a close profile.
