Intimate
Fragrance notes
Intimate by Mark Des Vince is for the person who wants a white floral that refuses to stay light. It opens with tuberose and tonka bean, and the tuberose here is loud and creamy rather than fresh. The tonka adds a soft, rounded warmth that keeps the flowers from feeling sharp. This is not a breezy spring scent. It feels composed and deliberate, sitting closer to an evening wardrobe than a morning one.
Jasmine sambac joins the tuberose in the heart, deepening the floral density instead of lifting it. The flowers share space with a steady sweetness that never turns cloying because the base pulls the weight. Tuberose appears again here, tying the opening to what follows. The cacao pod in the base brings a dry, slightly bitter edge that grounds the vanilla and amber accords.
The result is a warm spicy, sweet profile that leans into its oriental roots. It suits someone who enjoys being noticed in a room and likes a fragrance with a clear point of view. If you usually reach for clean citrus or airy linen scents, this will feel too heavy and too rich for your taste. It is a fragrance that owns its space.
Composed by Faizal C.P. and launched in 2020, Intimate stays true to its dense floral character from start to finish. It is a scent that wraps around you like a heavy velvet curtain in a dimly lit theater.
