L'Homme Eau de Parfum Intense is the couture house's bold leathery-woody statement for men, a richer and more assertive reading of its masculine signature. Elie Saab brings the same sense of refined craftsmanship found in his gowns to a fragrance built on precious oils and absolutes. Magnetic and self-possessed, it suits the man who wants elegance with an edge, and this generous 100ml bottle makes it a true signature scent.
Italian lemon oil opens with a burst of brightness, mingling with Egyptian neroli and Guatemalan cardamom for a spicy, fresh spark. The heart turns drier and more structured as cedarwood oil, French clary sage and violet leaf absolute build an aromatic woody core. Then the intensity arrives: a deep leather accord and Madagascan patchouli oil, wrapped in amber woods, create an intensely alluring trail that is dark, smoky and long-lasting.
