The Story
Cruel Intentions is a dark, seductive gourmand that wraps you in a cloud of rum, tobacco, and honeyed sweetness. It opens with a boozy burst of rum and plum, then settles into a rich heart of tobacco and cinnamon. The base is a warm, resinous blend of benzoin, vanilla, and labdanum that lingers for hours. This is a fragrance for those who love a touch of danger with their sweetness.
