Clandestine Clara Eau de Parfum vs Intense Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A lavish boozy-vanilla bomb laced with rum, cinnamon, and resins. Clandestine Clara is unapologetically decadent, smoldering and addictive, perfect for those who crave drama and opulence in a bottle.
Azzaro Pour Homme Intense is a boozy, spicy cinnamon bomb that divides opinion between those who adore its modern yet classic charm and those who lament its performance or its divergence from the original APH. If you're after a warm, inviting scent, this might be your jam.
