About

Gucci Intense Oud envelops the wearer in a smoky cocoon of oud, frankincense, and supple leather, accented by spicy saffron and a subtle fruity touch of raspberry and pear. The heart blooms with rose and orange blossom, adding a refined floral dimension before plunging into a dense, animalic base of patchouli, ambergris, and resin. The result is dark, luxurious, and magnetic projection - a regal composition best worn when you want to dominate the room.
