What does Intense Instant Crush smell like?

It opens with saffron, bergamot, mandarin orange and black leather, a spicy, citrusy start. In the heart, salted caramel, rose, amberwood and patchouli push it towards a creamy sweetness. The base of Mysore sandalwood, vanilla, white musk and oakmoss leaves a resinous, woody warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring well behind, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It reads masculine or modern to most, though a fair share finds it feminine. Thameen Regent Leather and Parfums de Marly Haltane have a close profile.
