INTERCOS SPA
SCENT AFFINITY HI PHY PARFUM-IN-CREAM
A cream fragrance formula powered by Intercos’ patented phytocerasome technology. This innovation forms a flexible, imperceptible film on the skin, while the cream’s biomimetic structure captures and delivers fragrance oil to lock the scent into the skin, enhancing its diffusion and longevity. The formula is composed of a cream base that carries a 10% fragrance oil. Rather than being an ancillary product, the formula has been conceived as a fragrance reimagined as a cream, merging both care and scent. It is presented in an airless pack that protects the formula’s integrity, with a roller applicator to create a novel fragrance gesture. This parfum-in-cream is formulated without alcohol, and is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Product Innovation
Supported by Phytocerasome, this product reimagines the traditional concept of fragrance. At its heart, the plush cream base carries an unprecedented 10% fragrance oil, going beyond conventional fragrance formats. The result isn’t an ancillary product, but a fragrance reimagined as a cream, merging both care and scent. Phytocerasome’s skin biomimetic matrix helps capture fragrance molecules and anchor them to the skin by forming an ultra thin, skin identical microfilm, reducing evaporation and supporting extended wear. The formula is encased in an equally inventive package: an airless system helps protect formula integrity, while the roller applicator introduces a new fragrance gesture.
