Dior Homme Intense Eau de Parfum by Dior Review
Description
Dior Homme Intense is one of the few that is arguably more popular than the fragrance that came before it. Known for its great performance and complexity, Intense is memorable because of the strength of the iris and vanilla that come in the beginning and the balance that cedar and vetiver provide to smoothen the scent. It is not overwhelmingly masculine, which makes it a possible unisex fragrance despite its target market. The long-lasting Intense also has decent sillage.

Dior Homme Intense was first released in 2007, following the success of the original Dior Homme. It has the same combination of woody and floral notes, although it is seen as stronger and more sophisticated, hence ‘Intense’. Designed by Francois Demachy, it saw a re-release four years later, in 2011.
