Drakkar Intense by Guy Laroche is a captivating reimagining of the brand’s iconic fragrance line. Launched in 2022, it breathes new life into the aromatic fougère category, maintaining the sophistication of its predecessors while introducing a modern, daring twist. This scent is designed for men who appreciate heritage but aren’t afraid to break the mold.
NOTES AND COMPOSITION
The fragrance opens with a bright yet herbaceous top layer: Wormwood, Coriander, Rosemary, and Bergamot come together to create a crisp, green aura that immediately draws you in. As the scent evolves, the heart notes of Lavender, Clary Sage, and Juniper Berries deliver a calming, slightly sweet middle stage. Finally, the base notes—Patchouli, Lavender, Moss, and Suede—anchor the fragrance in a rich, warm foundation, lending a soft yet masculine elegance that lingers on the skin.
WHO SHOULD WEAR IT
Drakkar Intense is crafted for the modern gentleman who values tradition yet seeks something contemporary. It’s for the man who wants to turn heads at a formal event, but still feel comfortable wearing it on a casual weekend. If you gravitate towards timeless fragrances but enjoy a hint of intrigue and depth, Drakkar Intense will not disappoint.
WHEN TO WEAR IT
This fragrance’s versatility makes it suitable for multiple seasons. The herbal and green top notes shine in spring and summer, while the deeper, richer base notes feel just as at home during the cooler months. In terms of occasions, Drakkar Intense excels at formal gatherings, business meetings, and upscale social events. However, its subtle warmth and elegance also make it a great choice for intimate dinners, romantic nights out, or a weekend brunch with friends.
