What does Intrusion (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with Sicilian bergamot, star anise, neroli, grapefruit and mandarin orange, a bright citrus layer. In the heart, lily, gardenia, water jasmine and peony add a soft floral touch, while aquatic and green accords keep it clean rather than heavy. The base of musk, amber and patchouli leaves a warm, woody floor.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and sport well behind. Most voters call it feminine. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò and Kenzo 10:10 AM in Sicilia have a close profile.
