L' Intense

by Francis Kurkdjian , Jérôme di Marino

Carven L' Intense is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Francis Kurkdjian and Jérôme di Marino. L' Intense opens with Mint, Grapefruit, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lavender, Birch, Ginger, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Amber. Carven's L' Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect sharp, distinctive freshness with beast mode performance, just be warned - some find it therapeutic, others an absolute scrubber.

Its impressive longevity and strong sillage, along with its fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for casual and sports wear, but require a lighter hand for office settings. For formal occasions, its sharp, intense freshness might be a bit too much.

About

A vibrant blast of zesty grapefruit and lemon cuts through a crisp mint opening. This invigorating start then smoothly transitions into an aromatic heart of clean lavender, spicy ginger, and cardamom, underpinned by the green woody nuances of birch. The base unfolds with a refined blend of cedar and warm amber, adding a touch of sophisticated depth.
