What does Absolu Intense smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and fig leaf, fruity and slightly green. The heart is carried by white blossoms, orange blossom and tuberose. In the base, tonka bean, sandalwood, amber and vanilla sweeten it and give it a woody, oriental footing, with spicy and earthy shades staying in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It leans towards evening and daytime wear, and has also been chosen for nights out and the office. It has been discontinued. Boucheron Boucheron 2012 and Calvin Klein Secret Obsession have a close profile.
