Following my intuition...

...I did when I blindly bid on this extrait. And I made a lucky find!

The extrait feels a bit different on me than the EDP variant is described in most comments and statements. However, the (emotionally touching due to personal details) comment from Harielle about the EDP could, from my perspective, also fit quite well in the fragrance description for the extrait. Seerose, on the other hand, speaks of a chypre start, which I cannot confirm for the extrait - at least on my skin - (to my luck) in any way. But based on experience, extraits are usually a bit softer and less edgy than the EDPs and EDTs. I also don't detect anything woody and almost nothing citrusy - it’s possible that the top note in my pre-owned bottle has already faded a bit. "Intuition" feels very floral on me, with a pleasant sweetness and slight creaminess. I am reminded a bit of "Miracle," which at least shares freesia and rose in the pyramid. I’d rather not consider the possibility that the (empty) splash bottle could have been refilled and sold with another perfume...
I also don’t perceive the extrait as autumnal (as described by Minigolf for the EDP). In my opinion, it’s more of a late spring perfume, also suitable for more serious evening occasions, as we recently had in the card club - it does tend to be rather formal there. Although... well... small disagreements ("Tournament management to table 5!") are also part of the daily routine, even if it’s just about a game. A friendly-peaceful scent like "Intuition" fits perfectly!
I can only recommend the extrait to any friend of floral-creamy perfumes!

Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way that a splash bottle can be filled with something else. I won some perfumes on eBay that had nothing to do with the original. They were all splash bottles. So now I only bid on spray bottles. But that might not apply to your case, as most bottles are filled with inferior scents, and yours doesn't sound like that.
