Man Intense
Man Intense by Jimmy Choo is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2016 in the designer price tier. It opens with lavender and mandarin, moves into black pepper and patchouli and dries down to tonka bean, amber and white musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
