Tiffany & Co. Intense is a refined, powdery iris fragrance that balances fresh citrusy top notes with a warm, musky base. The opening features a crisp pear and pink pepper note, creating an initially bright, almost soapy freshness that quickly settles into a soft, crystalline powderiness. The heart centers on iris, evolving into a layered, powdery-musky blend grounded by vanilla, benzoin, and cashmeran. This gives the scent a polished, elegant texture—clean yet quietly sensual—perfect for professional settings and intimate evenings. The fragrance develops subtly, with a breath of warmth from amber and the faintest hint of carrot root adding depth without overpowering. Although projection is moderate and longevity average (around 6–8 hours), the scent lingers on clothing with surprising persistence. It is not a bold or loud fragrance—it’s subtle, personal, and intimate, making it ideal for those who prefer an understated yet sophisticated presence. Some find the initial sharpness reminiscent of cleaning products or baby wipes, but most agree it mellows into a radiant, elegant core that feels both classic and contemporary.
