By the editors · 2 min readIntenso opens with a rush of brisk lavender laced through aromatic basil—clean but not sharp, Mediterranean rather than fougère. The herbaceous brightness fades quickly into something warmer and denser: tobacco leaf burnished with clary sage, a combination that reads more like sun-dried hay and resinous wood than actual smoke. There's weight here without heaviness.
The base settles into amber-soaked sandalwood with labdanum adding a leathery sweetness and musk smoothing the edges. It's recognizably in the aromatic woody family but skews richer and more enveloping than the original Pour Homme. The overall effect suggests tailored evenings rather than daytime ease—still polished, but with the volume turned up. Best suited to cooler weather and men comfortable wearing something deliberately present.
