Rue Broca Pride Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Pride Intense opens with Lavender, Geranium, and Apple, settles into a heart of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Rue Broca's Pride Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a mossy-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent - you'll either love its intense, woody-sweet charm or recoil from its perceived synthetic nature. If you're a fan of Pure XS, you'll likely dig this bold, long-lasting contender.

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for office environments, as noted by reviewers. It's much more at home in social settings like parties or dates where its intense woody and warm spicy accords can shine without overwhelming those around you.

About

Pride Intense launches with a clean, aromatic lavender and a crisp apple note, quickly giving way to a rich heart of creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli. As it settles, a deep, mossy cedar and musk base emerges, creating a complex, powdery-woody aroma with a lingering sweetness that some describe as a 'Coca-Cola' vibe.
