What does Rose Intense smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, and more than half of voters read it as feminine.

It opens with raspberry, blackberry and bergamot for a juicy brightness. Rose absolute and rose lead the heart, while violet, pelargonium and black pepper pull it toward green and spice. Cedar, sandalwood, musk and amber settle underneath as a warm, woody base. Maison Rebatchi Bois d'Enfants and Jacomo Paradox Green have a close profile.
