What does Promise Me Intense smell like?

Lychee opens with a fresh, fruity sweetness. Black Baccara rose leads the heart, and oud carries the base into a woody, resinous depth. A spicy touch softens the sweetness, so it never reads as a simple fruit-and-rose blend.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and see it as an evening or night-out scent. It leans feminine in character. Lanvin Les Notes de Lanvin - II: Oud & Rose and Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (Cologne Intense) have a close profile.
