Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Intenso (Eau de Parfum, 2014): Aromatic Lavender, Tobacco & Resinous Woods

A modern woody-aromatic built around clean lavender and a distinctive tobacco–hay–bran accord (with the brand’s South African Moepel/Milkwood note), Intenso moves from fresh aquatic–herbal facets to a warm, resinous woody base.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Lavender, Water Notes, Basil, Geranium, Marigold
Heart: Tobacco, Hay, Clary Sage, Moepel/Milkwood accord, Bran
Base: Sandalwood, Cypress, Musk, Amber, Labdanum.

What It Smells Like

A clean lavender and green-aquatic opening eases into tobacco shaded by hay/bran and the honeyed-balsamic Moepel nuance. The dry-down is sandalwood–cypress with labdanum/amber warmth masculine-leaning, smooth, and not sweet.

Who Is It For?

If you enjoy aromatic barbershop freshness with a warm tobacco-woody core (no gourmand vanilla), this is a versatile, dress-casual choice.

When to Wear

Great year-round; shines in autumn evenings and mild winter days, where the tobacco-resin base projects best without overpowering.

Why You’ll Love It

• Signature contrast: fresh lavender meets cozy tobacco.

• Textured heart: hay/bran + Moepel add unique, slightly honeyed depth.

• Polished woods: sandalwood/cypress keep the finish clean and refined.
