The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 by Givenchy, Play For Her Intense is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumers Émilie Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac. It opens with the bright sparkle of pink pepper and peach, which give way to a heart of orange blossom, orchid, tiare flower, and magnolia. The base notes include amyris, tonka bean, benzoin, patchouli, and sandalwood — warm spices and rich ambers that create an enveloping warmth. This composition is both sweet and woody, with floral nuances that add a touch of elegance.
Apply Play For Her Intense in areas where your body heat can activate its warm spices and rich ambers. It blooms slowly over time, so a light application is recommended to let the complexity unfold gradually throughout the day.
