Dolce & Gabbana Q Intense

Mostly sweet and syrupy, often with an almond bitterness underneath. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on sicilian lemon, jasmine and orange, moves through black cherry and heliotrope, and settles on amber and woody notes.

• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much
• orange: round, sweet citrus. Warmer and less cutting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
