L'Homme Intense
cardamom · bitter orange · neroli
L'Homme Intense opens on cardamom, bitter orange and neroli, a bright aromatic entry. The heart turns woody and spiced, with cedarwood, cinnamon and guaiac wood. The base of leather, patchouli and vanilla stays warm and animalic. Wear it on cold evenings, when the air already smells of autumn.
