Intent

Intent is a women's eau de parfum from Ann Summers, sold as a 100ml spray in a heart-shaped cut-glass bottle and as a 10ml purse spray. The brand says it is infused with pheromones, which is a marketing claim, and describes a bright and brave fragrance with zingy citrus overtones over a velvety wood and musk base. It labels the scent type as floral fruity gourmand. The pyramid is the same on the brand page and the retailer listings. Grapefruit and neroli open the scent. Jasmine and rose form the heart. Tonka bean, patchouli and vanilla make the base, which the brand calls sweet, warming musk. Read by its notes, it should start crisp and juicy, move through a light white and rose floral heart, and end in a soft, sweet, slightly earthy vanilla base. Those are readings of the notes, not wear-test results. The bottle is a faceted heart in pink and blue glass shown in a box printed with a geometric heart. The brand lists it as vegan. The listing says to use it within 36 months of opening. No perfumer or launch year is named, although a 2022 blog post already mentions an Intent rollerball, so the line has been around for a few years, and it has among the most reviews of the range. It has 4.4 from 32 reviews on the brand site and 4.3 from 80 ratings on a large retail site, where buyers describe the scent as beautiful and subtle and like the bottle. The performance scores follow the format and those comments, not a measured test. A friendly, easy pick for daytime and evening wear, and a gift choice because of the bottle.
