The opening of "Intense" is what persuaded me to add this Narciso Rodriguez to my wardrobe even though clean floral musk isn't quite my thing. It is a sweet and minty herbal experience that is similar to diluted Tiger Balm and it lingers around for about an hour before a delicate honeyed floral musk emerges and stays around like a pillowy cloud of comfort for a few hours with a moderate projection throughout.
I pick up ylang ylang with its unique spicy floral sweetness and a soapy orange blossom from the floral bouquet but can't quite identify anything else. The honey note is a clear white honey, not too dense and with no animalic overtone. Despite being labelled "intense" the overall effect is of warm scented skin without being obviously perfumed, soothing yet sensual.
I would say try before buying as looking at the online reviews, there are quite a few that are repulsed by the opening of "Intense" but that is exactly what I enjoy about it.
