What do reviewers say about Scent Intense and Perle Rare Ambre Carthage?
Scent Intense gets compared to a lot of woody orientals. Most of them smell the same after a while. This one doesn't. The tension between cool tea and warm leather stays interesting long after you've.Scent Intense
The jasmine tea opening is either the reason to buy this or the reason to pass. It's green, almost bitter, not sweet. But give it an hour. The drydown reveals why Panouge works with raw materials.Perle Rare Ambre Carthage
