Brioni Eau de Parfum Intense
by Brioni
Brioni Eau de Parfum Intense presents a rich, elegant fusion of green apple, saffron, and oud, blended with warm vanilla and amber notes. The opening features a bright, tart green apple with pink pepper and bergamot, creating a fresh and slightly sweet introduction. As it develops, the fragrance evolves into a velvety drydown where saffron and patchouli add depth, and the oud becomes clean and airy rather than overpowering. Performance is notable—longevity exceeds 8 hours, and projection remains strong for several hours. The scent is refined, dressy, and wears with a high degree of elegance, making it ideal for evening events or formal occasions. It has a unique, non-linear progression that earns it a niche quality feel despite being from a designer house.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and projection, exceeding typical performance for this price point
- +A distinct, rich, and layered drydown with saffron, patchouli, and vanilla that elevates its character
- +An elegant, opulent profile with non-animalic oud and a fresh, sweet-apple core that works well with formality
Cons
- −Can feel cloying or sweet initially for those preferring minimalist or dry scents
- −The oud is not truly bold or dramatic, which may disappoint fans of intense, pungent oud notes
- −Its performance, while strong, varies by skin chemistry and is not consistently
