Guy Laroche Drakkar Intense Eau de Parfum Review
Drakkar Intense is the fifth fragrance in the Guy Laroche’s Drakkar franchise and was released in 2022. The type of man that wears Drakkar Intense is one that takes pride in his appearance, has an active interest in sport and is both a lover and a fighter.
What Does It Smell Like:
Drakkar Intense has an irresistible, addictive aura. A perfectly shaped beard, blue denim jeans and a tan suede jacket; this rough yet smooth scent is draped in masculinity, athleticism and seductive charm.
The fragrance explores the depths of Drakkar man with new oriental accords, beginning by unleashing zesty notes of bergamot while aromatic sage, warm suede and vanilla elevate the bold sensuality within. A uniquely seductive fragrance for a heady expression of attraction, menace and power.
Perfumes That Smell Similar Are…
If Azzaro Pour Homme Intense is your go-to scent, you’ll love Drakkar Intense due to the similar spicy notes that carry through the fragrance. You might prefer the fresh spice of Drakkar instead of the warm spices that radiate through Azzaro Pour Homme Intense.
Drakkar Intense’s Longevity…
Drakkar Intense is an Eau de Parfum, meaning that it will last for up to 8 hours on the skin. And if you like to give your clothing a little spritz too, this should lengthen the longevity of the scent.
The silage of Drakkar Intense is moderate-strong, meaning it will project for a few feet around you and captivate attention when you walk into a room.
Drakkar Intense Wears Well During…
Zesty notes of bergamot married to aromatic sage and warm vanilla illuminate the scent, giving Drakkar Intense the versatility to be worn all year round.
One whiff of this masculine scent transports me to the great outdoors; refreshing notes of bergamot hit me like an icy breeze and the warmth of the sage comforts me like a cosy blanket.
Drakkar Intense Design and Aesthetic Is Special Because…
The iconic Drakkar Intense bottle glows with the golden warmth of amber, radiating the intensity of the Eau de Parfum. The design of the bottle is a timeless nod to that sleek, aesthetically athletic look.
Sustainability/Eco-friendly Summary…
The box is FSC certified, so is recyclable. Drakkar Intense comes in a glass bottle which will also be recyclable, however, the plastic lid will need to be removed before this.
My Overall Experience
Guy Laroche draws us into a world of timeless seduction with Drakkar Intense. This classically masculine fragrance sweeps us off our feet by embodying the primal male hunger for danger. Invigorating notes of bergamot clash lovingly with those of cosy clary sage, energising this fragrance and giving it that primal male aura. Overall, I think the scent is indicative of that typical ‘man smell’ that is so attractive and addictive.
You Will Love Drakkar Intense If…
You’re looking for a scent to grab attention, something unique and masculine. If you’re a fan of any of the Drakkar range, or if you want an affordable, versatile fragrance that you can wear all year round.
