Revlon Intimate is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1955. Intimate opens with Bergamot, Rose, Gardenia, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Virginia Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Civet. Revlon's Intimate carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a bold, animalic chypre with real personality, garnering fervent love from vintage fans and a bit of 'granny' scent aversion from others. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you want to make an impression, this is it.

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

Intimate opens with a bright aldehydic and bergamot kick, quickly softened by sweet rose and creamy gardenia. As it develops, a complex heart of earthy patchouli, warm sandalwood, and delicate jasmine emerges. The dry down is where the magic truly happens, a rich blend of oakmoss, musky civet, and leathery castoreum, creating a deeply sensual and intriguing finish.
