Diesel Bad Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Bad Intense opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Caviar, and dries down to a base of White Tobacco and Woody. Diesel's Bad Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Diesel Bad Intense is a surprisingly controversial scent that punches well above its weight in terms of performance and uniqueness. Polarising for sure, but a standout choice if you're chasing compliments and unafraid of its bold, savoury edge.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its immense sillage and longevity make it inappropriate for the office, but perfect for dates and nights out where its warm, spicy, and sensual character can shine. It's a casual evening scent, perhaps, but too dominant for formal events or sport.

About

A complex beast, this one. It opens with a punch of warm, spiced nutmeg and cinnamon, brightened by a whisper of bergamot. The heart introduces a truly distinctive briny caviar note, weaving a salty, savoury thread through the composition, before settling into a rich, woody-tobacco base that's both comforting and undeniably masculine.
