Our verdict on Cruel Intentions: Acquired

This one's a proper hot mess, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find it an intoxicating rose-oud dream, others are stuck with a plasticky, oversweet mess. Definitely try before you buy, but if it works for you, it *really* works.

About

Cruel Intentions plunges into a dark, waxy opening with dominant woody oud and a hint of violet. Rose and orange blossom temper the initial intensity before a complex drydown of animalic castoreum, vetiver, and smoky styrax emerges. A soft, powdery vanilla and sandalwood create a sensual, enduring base, making for a scent that's both intriguing and deeply woody.
