Al Haramain Perfumes

L'Aventure Intense

2019

“Creamy lemon and bergamot over a resinous musk — the Aventus effect without the smoke, and without the Aventus receipt.”

citrus

woody

aromatic

The 2019 Intense version of Al Haramain's L'Aventure (2016), even more closely aligned with Creed Aventus (2010): lemon and elemi open over a jasmine-touched woody heart, settling on patchouli. Citrus leads the accords by a wide margin, with woody and aromatic facets. The elemi adds a peppery, resinous brightness. A summer and spring daytime scent.
