Impact Intense

Impact Intense by Tommy Hilfiger is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the designer price tier. It opens with apple, elemi and bergamot, moves into chestnut, amber, cardamom and labdanum and dries down to atlas cedar, virginia cedarwood, cedarwood and sandalwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

Chestnut Roasted, starchy and faintly sweet. Autumnal and comforting.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.

Dry-down

Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
