What does Memoire Intense smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and bitter orange, giving a fresh, fruity brightness. In the heart, jasmine and rose come forward and the scent turns floral and sweet. As it dries, cashmere wood, patchouli, cedar and sandalwood form a woody, powdery base with a chypre character.

Longevity is rated moderate and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Value for money is rated highly. La Rive My Delicate and Jil Sander Eve have a close profile.
