Jean Paul Gaultier Intense

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on tiare flower and pomegranate, moves through orange blossom, jasmine and rose, and settles on vanilla and patchouli.

• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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