“To me I smell lots of Amber to start with. Kinda similar to Rasasi Hawas as far as the Amber goes. After the drydown it goes away and the Iris kicks in and it gets softer. Similar to my Prada l'homme intense.On my skin it lasts longer than La Nuit does. Totally different profile as well. I like it a lot and think it is mass appealing. Nothing ground breaking but will garner many compliments. Just remember it doesn't have the greatest performance so keeps some close by for a respray after a few hours. If you own anything by John Varvatos then you already know this drill.”
“L'homme intense is my signature fragrance, I love this smell. It's safe and classy. Perfect for the office or a night out, and smells absolutely gorgeous in the cold. I've received a lot of compliments, and never witnessed a negative reaction in real life. The price is ok, but you would expect better longevity and sillage for an EDP, I always carry a traveling bottle with me to refill after a couple of hours.”
“The first "signature" fragrance I have ever had in my rotation. I wore this 24/7 and 365 and this amber sweet fragrance was my first venture into the more expensive fragrances. I think over time I have found things that were so much similar and cheaper that I may not get a full bottle anytime soon. the price has gone up and It didn't smell as good the last bottle I got last year so I don't know if they changed something and that's a shame.”
