A warm, spicy hug
This L'Intense by Guerlain is very pleasant to my nose. I enjoy the initial spray on my skin, instantly get a nice combo of Cardamom & that Chili note. A bit of almond in the back, that almost makes it slightly sweet, maybe even woody.
.
My thing is, you hear the phrase "L'intense", you instantly think, it's gonna be long lasting, heavy & almost like a cologne bomb. Now I'll say it lasts on my.skin probably 5-6 hours & only.projects for Maybe the first hour, maybe hour & ½ . To me that's not that "intense". I think with that name, Guerlain was implying that the note breakdown, the smell, makes it intense. It is spicy but pleasantly spicy not aggressively. Maybe a little sharp, but it's smooth. The fact it sits, very subtle yet present on the skin makes it very unique. Guerlain has that formula that just makes the scent do that. (Sit close to skin, yet still project to a degree)
.
I'll say this, wear this on a date night or even night out & you can't go wrong. Just don't expect to get a lot of compliments unless you're hugging a lot of people, reapplying the fragrance, or just catch a lot of people after applying it leaving the house. This can be worn in spring/summer, I guess I'd probably wait til a chilly night or winter. Because of the spiciness, it doesn't do bad in winter. Also drys down into a more vanilla/smokey fragrance so it could work in warm weather too.
Check this one out, could be a blind buy. Smells amazing to me
