The Story
Play Intense is a bold, leathery fragrance that captures the spirit of rock and roll. It opens with a sharp burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a rich heart of leather and patchouli. The base is warm and sensual with vanilla and benzoin. This is a confident scent for nights out and cooler weather.
