What does Maharanih Intense smell like?

Orange and galbanum give a bright, slightly green opening. In the heart, rose absolute, rose, carnation, geranium and narcissus form a floral core. The base of vanilla absolute, amber, patchouli and musk brings sweetness and warmth, while sandalwood adds a woody, powdery ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead. Most voters find it feminine, though many call it classic. Paloma Picasso Minotaure and Chanel Coco Noir have a close profile.
