Elie Saab L'Homme Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. L'Homme Intense opens with Lemon, Bitter Orange, Neroli, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Cedar, Guaiac Wood, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Elie Saab's L'Homme Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A flanker that doesn't stray too far from home, but refines the original's masculine spice with a deeper, leather-clad intensity.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its strong projection and warm, spicy leather accords make it less ideal for the office or sport. It truly shines for evening wear, dates, and formal events, particularly in colder weather.

About

It opens with a zesty, bitter citrus burst - lemon and orange peel, sharpened by bright neroli and a hint of cardamom. This quickly transitions into a warm, woody heart where violet leaf adds a green edge to guaiac wood and cedar, spiced by cinnamon. The dry down is all about that rich, animalic leather, smoothed by vanilla and grounded by earthy patchouli and the modern hum of ambroxan.
