Which Should You Buy?
This is Clive Christian 1872 for those who like their classics a bit more buffed and polished. It’s an 'if it ain't broke, refine it' situation. Don't expect a revelation; expect a slightly rounder, deeper take on a familiar profile. Worth it if you're chasing that extra edge of sophistication or don't already own its older brother.
L'Homme Intense (2010) is the original spiced-vanilla concentrated flanker to YSL's L'Homme, built around a warm cardamom, vanilla, and tonka base distinct from the later 2016 L'Homme Parfum Intense reformulation.
