Amazing Grace Eau de Parfum Intense
by Philosophy
Amazing Grace Eau de Parfum Intense offers a soft, fruity rose scent with prominent raspberry and wild strawberry opening notes, leading into a clean, powdery rose and musky drydown. The fragrance is notably linear, evolving minimally over time, with minimal sharpness or complexity. It feels fresh and light, evoking a summery vibe reminiscent of berry popsicles or a floral champagne. While the longevity is moderate, it tends to fade quickly, especially on fabric, and projection remains intimate. The musk and rose notes dominate, with the fruity accents playing a subtle supporting role—more pronounced in the initial phase than in the drydown. Some find the musk slightly sharp or brash, but others appreciate its creamy softness in balancing the sweet fruit and floral elements. The scent is best suited for spring and summer daytime wear, particularly for those who enjoy a feminine, fresh, and slightly sweet bouquet without overwhelming depth.
