Intimus is a sweet, fresh, citrus fragrance created for Men and Women in 2019 by perfumer Christian Carbonnel in collaboration with Steven Gavrielatos of Redolessence.
Review
While this scent has a sweet side to it, it can be worn by Men or Women. The citruses and flowers meld into the Oakmoss, woods, and Musk, creating a perfect balance that leans almost towards a spicy aquatic vibe. It is perfectly suitable for the office and will transition well to any after-hours occasion. It will just as easily work for any casual or formal occasion you choose to wear it to. It will last for quite a few hours, and a quick re-application will keep it going all night. It has been compared to Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male and has a similar vibe to Roja Parfums Elysium Parfum Cologne.
Inspiration
Intimus translates to “Intimate” in Latin. It’s sweet essence woos the wearer with a blend of notes chosen to represent the exhilarating feeling of undying love. This is the love that will stand the test of time.
Notes
The senses are refreshed with a blend of Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Apple. A gentle sweetness comes from Floral Notes with Lily of the Valley shining bright. Pink Pepper and Geranium combine with warm Amber, slowly giving this scent a gentle depth. Patchouli, Oakmoss and Woody Notes add depth that keeps the lighter essences thriving, while hints of Vanilla and Toasted Sugar keep the sweetness just under the surface. A final note of Musk adds a wispy tone of seduction that keeps you intrigued.
