Intenso For Men

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Intenso is the darker, denser reworking of the house's 2012 signature, and the tobacco is what people remember. Lavender, basil and geranium open it clean and almost barbershop-fresh, with a watery note keeping the herbs from turning dusty. Then the heart arrives: tobacco leaf, hay and clary sage, dry and faintly agricultural in the best sense.

Sandalwood, cypress, amber and labdanum carry the base, and the whole thing settles into something warm and quietly masculine rather than loud. It projects moderately and lasts a long working day.

Autumn and winter, office or evening. The 6.7 oz bottle is the size for a fragrance you reach for often.

Eau de parfum, 6.7 oz. For men.
