Intuition is spicy oriental fragrance with warm golden amber in the centre. The top notes bring freshness of mandarin, bergamot, grapefruit and green garden notes. The heart unifies gardenia, freesia, and Chinese rhododendron. The base follows with amber.

The fragrance was created by Alberto Morillas in 2000, while the bottle was designed by Serge Mansau.

This was not good on my skin either... it smelt too much like acetone or grapefruit. It was way too tangy and sour for me.

This perfume was not great on my skin. Not sure which note, but something gave it a dirty smell. I had the clerk double check my nose and she agreed.

No, that dirty smell wasn't me. I had just showered LOL.

Putting that one note aside, I thought this was an OK fragrance. Nothing special to me, but maybe for you....

I am not a big fan of Estee Lauder, but do love Sensuous, Sensuous Nude and Bronze Goddess Capri 2012. Perhaps Intuition falls into the "too much floral" category for me as most of EL fumes.

Intuition is a gorgeous, glowing, oriental fragrance. It's a lovely balance of amber and citrus that suitable for day or evening wear. It's a refreshing change to the boring, sugary-sweet scents that's currently taking over the market.

Do you know how I would concept "Intuition"? - like the smell of gasoline , nail enamel or other strong and bad smells that we love !!

I just hate it but i can't stop smelling my wrist !

How does it smell ? Well it's very strong and the grapefruit it's too overpowering and it's like doesn't let the softer notes come on top. I can really smell something coconuty and sweet but it fades away and still grapefruit tops !It's very spicy too .

I think this perfume will suit more a mature woman , like 35-50 , for special occasions. I think it can be used also in colder days because of the sweet , musky notes .
I got the conclusion : I can't dislike it , something it's making me love this perfume. Very strange and unusual !

On first spritz I get a strong spice scent - cumin? tumeric? it is one of the things that gets dumped together with others to make "curry powder". No mandarin or grapefruit, in fact no citrus at all - which is very disappointing because I love citrus scents--they are very uplifting. Now the spice note is fading into something floral, thank goodness!

The reviews for Intuition are so wide ranging - what tickles each reviewers nose is different. This is my favorite hot summer fragrance. To me; my brain, nose and soul, this is a bright citrus frangrance that fans me with a cool grapefruit opening that blossoms with a fragrant but subdued gardenia and remains refreshingly citrus to the amber drydown. Staying power in hot climates is excellent and the sillage is crisp.

A barely discernible antique, powdery rose encased in a sexy, sultry amber. Gorgeous. Classy. Lasts and lasts.

Can someone please explain to me and my ignorant nose why SJP's Covet reminds me so much of Intuition? Am I the only one who thinks this? Very mysterious...

I really wouldn't classify this as a spicy oriental. This is more a bright floral that ends in a clean amber. It is a well-rounded, day scent that is charming and light. Very nice.

Another oriental with a brilliant (read "green") bergamot and grapefruit opening. The fruit is semi-ripe and rapidly moves into a bevy of florals and spices. I sense a much greener construct in Intuition than I expected, as the gardenia and carnation are flanked by sage and freesia. Eventually everything warms into a mild ambergris and wildflower accord in the base.

Intuition is listed as an oriental, but I think it could arguably pass as a green perfume. There are aspects of a dry chypre at work within an organic floral & spice construct. I would also argue that this is utterly unisex. A good, not overly-complicated and spicy blend for winter wear, and it keeps spring within arm's reach.

Lemony, sweet amber goodness, with a spike of green. It's so rich I only apply it with my finger tip, never a straight blast of the spray! I imagine confidence, intelligence and thoughtfulness when I smell this. Loving it...

This perfume has absolutely stunning base! One of the best I`ve ever smelled! So rich, creamy, soft, slightly spiced, warm and sweet. Top notes can be a bit strong, but not overwelming. My cardigan smells so good today after using Intuition the other day. I can`t stop sniffing the sleeve!

Bought this one just recently, totally unsniffed but after reading the community reviews and more.
I feel this gives me a glimpse of a summer evening down by the sea. A little bit of it smells when the sunwarm bath towel meets the sand combined with the sunwarm scent of clean skin after a day out. Just all the GOOD smells you can have after a day at the beach...not the bad ones.
I believe it is a good one in the mid cold winter when you just want a reminder of summer.
I'm not good at detecting notes but there is something familiar in this, could be the rhododendron from the garden. I'm however not detecting any roses.

Longevity is good on me, haven't had any comments about sillage, maybe that's good :).

Intuition is a perfume that surprised me. I proved it accidentally and It finish in my collection not for my choice, it is not my type of perfume but there it was and I decided to use it. Once position hits with my senses, a different, strange but comfortable, hot, sensual smell in my opinion. It is like to travel to a tropical beach, Haway for example and to enter a late afternoon. At the moment I like it:)

Love this fragrance! I have migraine so I am a lil bit careful when choosing fragrance (as I cannot stand the strong smell). But this fragrance just go well. It is soft, and the woody musky scent keeps me confident the whole day. The floral scent also mesmerize me. This is the best fragrance that suits me well.

Funny but I always thought it would smell different. For some reason specifical words for me reprenset different type of scents and I dont know if it what I expected from the scent of intuition. I hoped it would be more mysterious and "shady" like Alchimie from Rochas.

Scent comes very strong from the first moment. Sweet, sticky amber with floral notes coming through. I can smell gardenia as well but sadly citrus notes are almost "invisible" for me. I noticed some writes that scent dont last for a long time...well, with me it stays and stays and stays....However still trying to decide if I really like it.

I wore this when I worked as an Estee Lauder sales associate. It was warm and comforting and easily my favorite Estee fragrance. I made the mistake of giving my mother in law a bottle as a gift and now I can't wear it. I don't know why. Weird.

I expected Intuition to be rather powerful, along the lines of Knowing, Spellbound, or Private Collection. To my surprise, Intuition is extremely wearable and something I can imagine becoming my signature at work.

The opening is bright citrusy fruits. Perfect fruits, not sweet, not jammy, not cooked, not sharp. Just authentic mood-lifters that segue into the softest, warmest, smoothest floral fragrance I've sniffed in a while. To my simple nose, it's baisically a freesia-gardenia combination with a few other accent notes. My idea of a floral heaven. It's quite warm, but mellow, calm, rounded, and velvety. I don't believe Intuition will offend others.

Oh, and yes, Intuition smells like a rich girl. Not in an obnoxious way, but soo so classy.

I actually wish the sillage/lasting power were stronger. To me, it's quite light and settles into a musky skin-scent too soon; I would rather have a stronger/louder floral stage.

Regardless, I really love Intuition, and I hope there's a bottle for me sometime in the future.

Oh I'm so sorry I brought this un-sniffed.
It's strong and heady and NOT AT ALL ME.

I find it old, overpowering and far too 'busy'.

Is it the type of fragrance that you grow to love, maybe.... I'll wear it for a day and see if my opinion changes.
-----------------------------
so the above statements were are little harsh.
I can now see why people like it. It's spicy, warm and softens quickly but its still NOT worthy of my collection.

Intuition just lacks character and fails to leave me begging for more.

Another gift from my Dad which I am sure he didn't smell first. Pleasant strong fragrance but I can't really imagine it on young women. He bought it for me a few years ago now and I still think it's a bit mature for me. Over all, nice on the right person.

I've never really been a fan of Estee Lauder fragrances, I always found them to smell slightly odd to my nose, however Intuition surprised me to say the least.

I really enjoyed the citrusy opening which was refreshing and instantly reminded me of Summer. I just loved the way the lemon, grapefruit and bergamot blended so well together creating a scent that was sweet and lively.

Unfortunately it is scents with these citrusy openings that never blend well with my skin chemistry, and sure enough this beautiful scent turned to rotten grapefruit when I wore it.

Despite the fact that this fragrance and I are not meant to be, I still admire this scent when worn by other people.

The heart of Intuition becomes a soft and somewhat powdery floral blend, which is absolutely gorgeous. The rose note is an absolute standout and it gives this fragrance that classy, feminine touch. I'll also agree with the other reviewers here that sensed a vanilla note in Intuition, it is certainly present for my nose as well, particularly in the drydown.

I actually adore the bottle design of Intuition, which is surprising because I very rarely pay attention to a fragrance's packaging. The oval shaped bottle with the slightly off-centre, abstract cap is clearly something you would take pride in displaying on your dresser.

The lasting strength was great on other people, however on myself, not only did it smell off but it also didn't last. I do urge you not to do a blind purchase on this fragrance because you may end up with the same results as me. Apart from that this fragrance is a crisp, pleasant and casual scent which I highly recommend.

Last, but hardly the least... the 3rd fragrance that makes me fall to my knees. Wear something like this around me, I might try to talk to you... and I'm shy. You could have 5 teeth, and 2 strands of hair. WEAR THIS, and I will be asking you your name. Well... ok, not 5 teeth a 2 strands of hair, but uh... you catch my drift.

This one has a wierd smell with my body chemistry. Looking at the notes, maybe it is the grapefruit or green notes. I guess I need perfume that has woodsie base notes. Just didn't work for me.

although the name is interesting which reminds me a fresh fragrance for artists who search the creativity,the true about this perfume is not that simple.the scents of mandarin orange with some spicy notes is recognizable easily.it's very strong and the flower notes are somehow hidden.it's no a bad choice,but not the best one at least for me.

I am not a fan of Estee Lauder fragrances, but this one is different. I think this is the best of EL. Starts off citrusy, then turns into a strong smell, nice use of amber. Surprised to see that there is no vanilla in the basenotes. Because a vanilla smell stayed on my skin all day long after I tested this scent..

My mother gave me a little bottle of this, and it didn't have a label on it. I assumed it was "Beautiful" (which I abhore), but gave it a spritz, and it was actually quite nice! Another floral. One of the many out there. I actually liked it a little, and I'm not a floral kind of person. My husband however did not. So I gave it away.
