About

African Rooibos Intens opens with a bright burst of bergamot and a spicy kick of cardamom and pepper, promising an invigorating experience. As it evolves, the heart reveals a rich rooibos tea mingling with smooth vanilla and the delicate powderiness of orris, creating a subtle warmth. The base deepens into a complex blend of tonka bean, cedar, and ambroxan, lending an intriguing smoky aroma that lingers. This fragrance tells a rich story of tea and spice, though some may find it leans into a softer, more commercial territory compared to its predecessor.
