What does L'Homme L'Intense smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Many read it as masculine, with some calling it modern or classic.

It opens with bergamot, Italian citron and davana for freshness, while white pepper adds spice. In the heart, orange blossom and violet leaf bring a floral, powdery softness. The base of cedarwood, Siam benzoin and suede finishes woody, sweet and leathery.
