Gentleman Intense

i feel like this scent is not nearly as minty or "toothpaste" scent as people make it out to be, i can see what they mean but its a bit deceiving. This is far more of a fresh green aromatics, basil does have a minty quality but id describe it more as spicy then minty. It's very sharp but very herbaceous and spicy, and as it dries it becomes more and more creamy and powdery. I dont normally love a powdery cologne but this actually smells very nice. I feel like especially when it becomes a skin scent but its absolutely great! There is something about it that feels a bit older, vintage and mature. I really dig it, i mean look now a days i feel like designer brands are becoming incredibly predictable and to be quite frank, I just dont care about tropical fruits, syrupy vanillas, or LV. Which is what the top 10 on this site always seems to lean towards... I get it, they're popular (I mean I love Scandal and it's dupes so i do get it). But I kinda love this fragrance because its nothing like what people are wearing now. It's def more suited for a formal event, maybe to work if u are at a white collar job? In general I could see this being a signature scent for somebody who doesnt WANT to smell young or youthful, but dont care for barbershop colognes or smelling like a legit grandpa. Like its such a nice and expensive smelling cologne (if that matters to you)

Personally, this is a fragrance that I will always have in my collection. On my 3rd bottle. Woody, spicy, and powdery. I want to mention that when you first open a new bottle of this beautiful stuff, the coumarin can seem a little too much as it dries but the good news is that once you get 20 percent into the bottle, the coumarin oils weaken and the iris oils come alive. This is a fragrance where the further you get into the bottle to let oxygen mix in and the longer it sits, the better the scent gets. Bergamot is very nice and quality in the opening. Nobody ever mentions that. You have to catch it as soon as it hits your skin because it doesn't last long but it's very enjoyable for the short time it lasts. The cardamom and basil are there as well. You get the powdery yet smooth iris in the opening and mid which smells great. Fresh blue iris. You can pick up the cypress, cedar and coumarin as well in the dry-down. This one is versatile for fall and winter. To me this is more of a relaxed, casual type of fragrance but you can dress it up as well. It brings compliments from women as well. For iris lovers this one is a must try I assure you. This one should cost more than it does. I can usually find it for around $45 which is a steal for a fragrance like this.

Can't stop raving about this fragrance!! I'm considering buying a second bottle of this fragrance because it's that good to me. I have worn this fragrance multiple times and I love it💓 from the opening to the dry down this beautiful fragrance checks all my boxes ✅. Great for early spring, fall and winter months for me and I find the longevity is around 10+ hours or more on skin and clothing. That blue iris note is dominant in this fragrance but not to much, so if your a fan of Iris forward fragrances then I believe you will enjoy this underated gem 💎 of a fragrance. 10/10 fragrance for me and it's being sold on discounter web sites at fair price 💵 I paid 62.00 bucks for a 100ml bottle which I feel is fair.

It starts out nice and sharp like a good EDT should! Nice projection and silliage for about 2 hours and then it closes down to a tiny scent bubble. It lasts the entire shift at work which is awesome for an EDT. I have Gentlemen, Society, Society Extreme, Boisee and Privee in addition to EDT Intense. At first, it was a tie with the OG Gentlemen and Privee, but as fast as the projection wore off, I knocked it down to third and tied with Society Extreme. I'd grab a bottle if it was $40 else I will just keep refilling OG Gentlemen. Privee is very unique and has a different application. Regular Society and Boisee offer no performance, and its gone in under an hour. The others offer great performance!

This is my favorite from the Gentleman line. Folks on YouTube always go on about how nice Gentleman Boisee is... but for me, I find this profile more pleasing – leaning more urbane than woodsy. I also get better performance out of it. I love the fresher lean of the basil, bergamot, and cypress notes here. And the blending of the iris is absolutely gorgeous. Classy... mature... sophisticated... well-put-together. Longevity is pretty solid. Only moderate projection.... but this fragrance LOVES to be oversprayed – apply liberally; you won't regret it. This might be the ultimate work-safe fragrance – low-key FANTASTIC. Good all-season versatility too... absolutely signature-worthy.
