Teriaq Intense 100 ml: Lattafa's plum, saffron and tonka bean scent

In short: Teriaq Intense is the reinforced version of Teriaq by Lattafa. A unisex fruity-spicy oriental built on saffron, a dark plum liqueur and a base of tonka bean, amber and benzoin. It is worn in cold weather, in the evening, with one or two sprays.

What it smells like, minute by minute

The first minutes. Bergamot opens briefly, then saffron takes over with its leathery, slightly medicinal facet. It is the signature of Gulf orientals, and it can surprise on a first try.

After a quarter of an hour. The heart is the characteristic passage: plum liqueur brings a dark, candied, slightly boozy fruit that cinnamon warms. A cooked fruit, not a fresh one.

At the end of the day. The base is warm and balsamic: tonka bean (almond, cut hay, vanilla), amber, and benzoin, a resin that smells of vanilla and caramel. It is the most tenacious part, the one that stays on a scarf for days.

Teriaq or Teriaq Intense: which one?

The name comes from the Arabic tiryaq, an antidote made of spices and resins. Both perfumes share that spirit, but they are not dosed the same way.

• Teriaq Intense is more concentrated: more presence and longevity. Two sprays of Intense are worth three or four of the classic.
• Teriaq 100 ml is the original version, easier to dose every day.

For an evening perfume that gets noticed, take the Intense. To wear it at the office, start with the classic.

For whom, when

• Gender: unisex.
• Season: autumn and winter. Heat quickly makes it heavy.
• Moment: evenings, dinners, end-of-year celebrations.
• Dosage: one to two sprays, no more.

How to wear it

• Spray on the wrists and the base of the neck, without rubbing: rubbing breaks the saffron opening.
• On moisturised skin, longevity is better.
• One spray on wool lasts for days: dose accordingly.
• Store the bottle upright, away from light and heat.
