Dolce & Gabbana Intenso Pour Homme EDP, launched in 2014, is a bold reimagination of their Pour Homme fragrance, crafted for the sophisticated modern man. Blending fresh, aromatic green accords with rich woody warmth, it was designed to express instinct and emotion with elegant depth.
The opening layers deliver a clean yet compelling contrast: basil, lavender, geranium, marigold, and aquatic accords evoke freshness and vitality. In the heart, a rare Moepel wood accord—recreated from South African milkwood blossoms—blends with tobacco, hay, bran, and clary sage, offering a honeyed, balsamic richness with a touch of earthiness. The dry-down is grounded in alluring warmth, with sandalwood, cypress, labdanum, musk, and amber, creating a sensual and enduring trail.
Intenso seamlessly balances green freshness with smoky, woody depth, making it suitable for day or evening wear. It resonates as a signature scent for men who value nuance and depth. Performance-wise, it offers moderate sillage and solid longevity—typically 6–8+ hours, making it ideal for cooler weather or evening settings.
