Dolce & Gabbana 2014 EDP
Intenso
Dolce & Gabbana Intenso is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Intenso opens with Marigold, Lavender, Geranium, and Basil, settles into a heart of Bran, Fruity Notes, Tobacco, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Cypress. Dolce & Gabbana's Intenso carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.
Divisive and often misunderstood, Intenso is a smoky, sophisticated twist on the classic D&G Pour Homme. It's an acquired taste for some, a masterpiece for others, but rarely just 'okay.'What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Intenso's moderate sillage and 'clean' yet unique profile make it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, but its depth really shines in casual and date settings. While some find it 'classy,' the tobacco and hay accords might be too distinctive for highly formal events, and its warmth makes it a poor choice for sport.
