What do reviewers say about Dark and Amorous Intense?
Dark is not trying to seduce you. It opens cold and green, shifts into smoky leather, and ends somewhere austere and resinous. If you want comfort, look elsewhere.Dark
The sweet-fruity opening is a crowd-pleaser. But that rum-ylang-ylang heart? That's where this earns its name. A fragrance that asks something of you.Amorous Intense
