Guerlain Homme Intense

Guerlain Guerlain Homme Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Guerlain Homme Intense opens with Rhubarb and Mint, settles into a heart of Rum, Geranium, and Floral, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Cedar. Guerlain's Guerlain Homme Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Whilst some find this a 'masterpiece' and others 'boring', Guerlain Homme Intense is a divisive but ultimately sophisticated scent. It's a fresh, masculine take on boozy freshness that can polarise opinion due to its unique profile, but for many, it's a true Guerlain classic.

About

Guerlain Homme Intense opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of mint and tart rhubarb, quickly joined by the distinctive warmth of rum. As it develops, a green, aromatic geranium note emerges, leading into a refined drydown of earthy vetiver, dark patchouli, and clean cedar, balancing freshness with a grounded elegance. It's not your typical mojito - this one's got depth.
