What does Illusion Intense smell like?

It opens with lavender. In the heart, pear, iris and ambrette take over: the iris adds a powdery softness, the ambrette a creamy one, and the pear lifts the sweetness. Virginia cedar forms a woody base underneath. Spicy, resinous, smoky and leathery accents stay in the background, giving the gourmand sweetness a dry, warm depth. Emir Homme Intense and Riiffs Elegant Homme have a close profile.
