Brioni Brioni Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Michel Almairac and Karine Vinchon-Spehner. Brioni Intense opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Tangerine, and settles into a heart of Patchouli, Saffron, and Apple. Brioni's Brioni Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive blend that promises Italian elegance but sometimes delivers a challenging, synthetic oud straight out of a dental clinic. While some rave about its sophisticated fruit-oud combo, others find it jarring and short-lived. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Brioni Intense opens with a sharp, fruity burst of tangerine and crisp green apple, spiced with a hint of pink pepper. This vibrant start quickly mellows into a heart of rich patchouli and saffron, leading to a smooth, woody drydown. The base features a subtle, westernised oud, softened by creamy vanilla.
