What does Emblem Intense smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. Most voters find it masculine, while some read it as modern or classic.

It opens fresh and fruity, with cardamom and coriander carrying the spice forward. In the heart, cinnamon, nutmeg, violet leaf and Pomarose® join in. The base of suede, precious woods, patchouli and tonka bean settles into a sweet, woody, leathery foundation, with a synthetic edge running through it.
