all of me Intense by Narciso Rodriguez is a feminine Eau de Parfum Intense. Iris in the top note precedes a floral heart of rose, tuberose and geranium, extended by a powdery base of musk, sandalwood and vanilla.
Top note
The house announces an opening on pink pepper, black iris and sambac jasmine, a powdery and spicy trio that brings a first velvety impression before the floral heart arrives.
Heart note
The heart combines rose and geranium, the signature duo of the all of me collection, to which the house adds heliotrope and tuberose to compose, in its words, an assertive floral fusion.
Base note
The house describes a base of musks infused with vanilla and sandalwood, enriched with a vanilla bean absolute said, in its words, to bring an “intensely addictive” facet.
What the label declares
The label lists hydroxycitronellal, linalool, geraniol and geranyl acetate, markers of white flowers and rose. Vanillin confirms the vanilla announced in the base, while santalol and sandalwood oil (Santalum album) specify the wood evoked by the house.
The label also lists coumarin and alpha-isomethyl ionone, powdery notes that support the iris facet described in the top note. Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin oil) and beta-caryophyllene, not cited by the house, add a further woody and spicy base. The label also lists three colorants, CI 14700, CI 19140 and CI 60730.
An alternative reading
For Robin, of the website Now Smell This, the composition opens on bergamot and peach, with a heart of jasmine, rose and tuberose, and a base of sandalwood, vetiver, musk and amber, a fruity and woody reading that departs from the notes published by the house.
Wikiparfum, for its part, lists without hierarchy sambac jasmine, musk, sandalwood, centifolia rose, vanilla, heliotrope, iris, tuberose and geranium, confirming most of the materials announced by the house without repeating the pink pepper or distinguishing top, heart and base.
