What does Perfect Intense smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind and summer last. Daily and leisure wear lead, and it suits the office too. Voters mostly see it as feminine, then modern.

Narcissus and jasmine form a floral backbone, while pink pepper and pamplezest add a fresh, lightly spicy edge. Roasted almond and sesame pull it toward the gourmand side, and cashmeran with New Caledonian sandalwood lends a creamy softness. The overall impression is fruity and sweet.
