From the brand - "Dolce & Gabbana Intenso is an aromatic woody fragrance that exudes elegance representing a contrast between clean, fresh and rich, warm aromas. Announced as the scent of pure instinct and emotion that is express freely; the fragrance is the force of a determined man, with a heart that is rooted in tradition, yet revels in the modern world. The composition opens with fresh aquatic notes and green nuances of basil and lavender. The new chord in the world of fragrance Moepel wood from South Africa makes the heart with its luxurious floral, balsamic and honey accents. Tobacco is deepened by dry notes of hay absolute and bran. The intensity and strength of the composition come from the base of labdanum, sandalwood and cypress."
Fragrantica - "When first putting it on I get a balsamic hay note. Then a sort of molasses type vibe, it reminds me a bit of shoo fly pie type of molasses. Combined with the hay note and a sort of oatmeal note... don't assume this is a bad thing, it then reminds me a little of a sweet feed vibe like you get from the sweet feed given to horses. Not saying it smells like sweet feed, but the vibe is there for me. This is just for the first 30 minutes or so and there's also the herb notes and florals with it. It also has a herbaceous quality to it. It's kind of what a wealthy cattle rancher might wear when cleaning up to go to town. Or a guy that misses old school type scents, but doesn't want to smell old school."
Fragrantica - "My (31 yo) daily driver scent for below 75F/25C weather, and also my most complimented. A little bit of everything, aromatic, woody, herbal, floral, sweet, aquatic. Notes and accords listed here is accurate in my opinion. Unique enough that you smell different from most people but safe enough to be a crowd pleaser. "
Fragrantica - "This fragrance has always been signature scent worthy. Perfect for office or date night. It’s basically good for any occasion when you are well dressed and want to smell like you have your life together and not a stranger to successful outcomes. Very underrated and unfairly hated by the fragrance community. But that’s no surprise as it seems to be more and more common. Hype for things that are mediocre and hate for things that are works of olfactory excellence."
Fragrantica - "The initial hit is a ton of deeper floral notes, aquatics and green herbs, led by that unusual basil note. Then almost immediately after, I catch that tobacco, which is unlike any other tobacco note I've smelled before, but I'm pretty sure it's because of the "hay and bran" notes which I have never smelled in a fresh fragrance before. Then the sage and the woods kick in and it sweetens a little. So now I'm left with a fresh, herbal, aquatic, grainy (in a good way), mildly tobacco, slightly sweet woody scent. What?! With all of those strange and contrasting notes, this sounds like a mess. But it's not."
