For Individualists..
Rose lovers, musk addicts, and long-time iris devotees, fresh flower sniffers and cleanliness fanatics, this is THE ultimate fragrance - and exactly mine, for certain hours together, during shared meals with the best friends.

This scent creates an incredible closeness. It is a fragrance that warms me from within with sunshine. Like a hot cup of milk with a dripping spoonful of flower honey, floral and mild. It welcomes you in the most beautiful way, gently embracing you, cheek to cheek.

The night is clear, you can hear the blackbird softly presenting its love song. The divine sparks in the sky shine in the most beautiful light. Rose and musk meet for a love play, in an open field, visible from all sides. Iris and amber are also part of the game, although the strong rose likes to mark its territory, enjoys dominating but has a fondness for musk and therefore takes it by the hand and shows it where the journey goes.

The iris prefers to stay in the background, peeking out from its hiding place occasionally and observing the love play from a safe distance. After the love play reaches its peak, amber dares to come out of its hiding place and waves to the rose and musk. You can only hear a little whispering in the bushes, very subtle, fine.

A fragrance that I cannot assign to any season. It can be worn in any season, it can captivate both young and old, but only those who are willing to be captivated by this love play ;-)

Longevity is remarkable, as an intense variant should be! Sillage is moderately good. Floral like the other musc fragrances, but the rose comes out more and more prominently in this version. I really like it :-)

Very helpful Review 7  
clean, fresh, and soooo soft...
As an absolute fan of clean/laundry scents and musk, I've been eyeing the classic Essence for a while now. If it hadn't developed so strongly soapy on my skin, it would have been in my collection a long, long time ago :) Additionally, it was a bit too present for me during the first two hours.
Even my mum, who hardly perceives any scents, asked me if I had looked a bit too deeply into the (fragrance) bottle...
At that point, it had already been 1 1/2 hours since I sprayed both scents on my wrists for a direct comparison.

Now for the comparison... How does Musc Collection Essence EdP Intense smell?
Unmistakably related to Essence. Also very clean, also very fresh, with the rose dominating the opening along with the musk. (I can't identify other flowers exactly, but you can tell it's not just the rose.) It's like pressing your nose directly into freshly washed bed linen :)
However, Intense is a bit softer, more floral, and quieter.
At first, I could hardly perceive it because my other wrist was so dominant. I was already thinking, "So this is supposed to be Intense? Intense is probably just the price difference, right?" I was even a bit disappointed...
Now, half a day later, the classic Essence has completely left me. Nothing! No trace!
But Intense is still there :) Warm, soft, fresh, and clean... Simply beautiful!
Come cuddle! Freshly showered with a rose shower gel and delicate, baby-smooth freshly shaved skin in a freshly made bed; the fabric would be associatively white silk, and you can feel how the body heat warms the fabric....
So beautiful and right at the top of my must-have list :)

A very soft, ultra-delicate light pink musk. Please dear Rodriguez, bring it back to us. I'm lying in cotton...so beautiful!
