B. Balenciaga Intense

Balenciaga Intense is a fresh, green-woody fragrance centered around a vivid blueberry note that feels authentic and natural, like picking berries straight from the bush. The opening bursts with green tea and crisp blueberry, creating a sharp, aromatic, and slightly herbal contrast with the cedarwood base. Over time, the scent evolves into a warmer, slightly sweet woody floral with a subtle, powdery drydown, offering a refined balance between fruit, greenery, and wood. The performance is modest, with moderate longevity and a quiet sillage that extends just past arm’s length, making it suitable for daytime wear and not overpowering for work environments. It’s often described as being more unisex than feminine, despite a higher female vote count, due to its sharp green and woody core, which some perceive as masculine, while others find it soft, elegant, and quietly intoxicating.
