Rouge Intense (2007)
by Mandarina Duck

Pepper and nothing else. You dont have to pay for this. Eat a lot of pepper and your sweat may smell like this. This is a common natural note in middleeast. Eyks... o.k if i have to have some mercy this is a drier and woodsy pepper than you can produce by eating much and running into the saloon. But no way for me to like it.

Mandarina Duck’s Rouge Intense opens woodsy with lots of pepper – seems more masculine or unisex because none of the florals come through for me, and when the florals do enter a bit later in the heart notes, they stay far in the background to the woods and the plethoric pepper. There seems to be no change through the entire run of the fragrance. It’s obviously linear and long lasting and comprehensively, everlastingly peppery! Errrr… if you love pepper, this one’s for you.
