Femme Intense

Fresh in perfumery is usually linked to citrus notes, and I am not so big on citrus. I enjoy my Shalimar, Lira or L`Instant Magic with beautiful powdery lemon, but Light Blue is hard pass. I tend to like powdery and herbal perfumes with tad of sweetness. I adore Burberry Rhythm, it is absolutely perfect fresh perfume for me and I always looking to recreate the joy it gives me. It is kinda insane to see no reviews on it here. I read some opinions in other languages, but purchase was a leap of faith, and oh I am so happy with the result. It gives me totally same fuzzy feeling inside as discontinued Burberry. It is woody, so stays more masculine than totally feminine Rhythm. It is fresh powdery, but because of violet, so it is slightly green. More sweetness comes in dry down. I guess I feel sage as well. This beautiful watercolor is a true creation of Alberto Morillas. Looking at reminds of section, I am also curious about classic Femme, but if they are so similar, can I find justification of having both? It also reminds me of White Tea by Arden, but Tea is more herbaceous and less powdery, than Femme Intense. And Femme has very decent staying power, similar to Burberry: top notes go away quickly but the middle sticks for long on clothes. Bottle is hideous, plastic monstrosity, but you can find it so reasonably priced that lets just overlook.
