Divisive, as expected from something this unique. Many find its blueberry and cedar fascinating, but for some, it's a screeching cedar bomb. Definitely try before you buy this one.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

B. Balenciaga Intense opens with a cool, almost tart burst of fresh blueberry and green tea, underpinned by an unusual soybean earthiness. This green, fruity start softens into the mysterious, subtly sweet floralcy of night-blooming cereus. The dry down introduces a prominent, clean cedar alongside the deep richness of mahogany, creating a woody, subtly sweet, and surprisingly fresh scent profile.
