L'Homme Parfum Intense
by Yves Saint Laurent
L'Homme Parfum Intense by Yves Saint Laurent is a sweet, warm, and elegantly blended fragrance that opens with bright citrus and peppery notes, leading into a smooth floral heart of orange blossom and violet leaf. The dry down reveals a rich ambery base with gentle suede and leather nuance, creating a cozy, sensual profile that feels both modern and refined. While the scent is widely praised for its beautiful balance of sweetness, sophistication, and intimate projection—making it ideal for cooler weather and evening wear—it offers only moderate longevity and sillage. This limits its wearability for those seeking a lasting or bold fragrance presence, especially in warmer seasons. The scent appeals most to those who appreciate the controlled sweetness of a refined masculine scent with a subtle unisex appeal, making it a standout among the L'Homme line for its wearable elegance.
