by Swarovski
Aura Intense by Swarovski is a bold, intensely concentrated fragrance with a smoky, incense-driven core that lingers powerfully on skin and in the air. The opening is overwhelming—dry, bitter, and potent—evoking strong Middle Eastern souk vibes with incense at the forefront, supported by warm amber, patchouli, and balsamic resin. Over time, it unfolds into a deep, creamy, and comforting blend of rosy sweetness (from litchi and Bulgarian rose), powdery vanilla-like warmth, and a long-lasting, rather opulent presence. The fragrance projects strongly—sillage is intense and lingering—best suited for cool or winter months. Though it can feel harsh or overwhelming with excessive spraying, those who are tolerant of powerful aromatics will find it deeply satisfying, with a rewarding transformation over several hours.
