Camille RochelleCobalt Intense

Camille Rochelle pairs smoke with sugar through the middle of this composition, an unusual combination within a single stage. Bergamot, plum and violet open with a fruity, slightly powdery freshness that hints little at the density waiting underneath. Jasmine, incense and praline crowd the middle into a smoky, sweet stage that shifts the composition considerably from its fruity start. Cashmere woods, vanilla and ambroxan close things out warm and smooth, giving Cobalt Intense Eau de Parfum serious staying power once fully developed. Oriental gourmand is the fitting classification, dense enough for evening wear while remaining workable on a cooler afternoon. It suits dinners, celebrations and any cool-weather occasion calling for a fragrance with serious richness. Fall and winter favor the cashmere and vanilla close most, once that warmth has had time to settle. Pairing incense directly with praline is an unusual structural choice that gives Cobalt Intense more personality than a standard fruity oriental.
