Guy Laroche Drakkar Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. The fragrance opens with Wormwood, Rosemary, Coriander, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, Juniper, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Suede, Patchouli, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Drakkar Intense: Favourite

Drakkar Intense is a divisive cheapie - some hail it as a modern barbershop classic with warm, masculine charm, others are infuriated by its fleeting performance. If you're after a budget-friendly scent for personal enjoyment or short wear, it's worth a sniff. Just don't expect beast mode.

Best Seasons

Best For:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and common complaints about longevity make it suitable for office wear where it won't overwhelm, and its warm, masculine profile is a hit for casual and date settings. However, its lack of standout longevity and sillage would likely be disappointing for formal events or sports.

About

It opens with a sharp, herbal burst of wormwood and rosemary, spiced with coriander, before a classic fougere heart of lavender, juniper, and clary sage unfurls. The dry down introduces a sophisticated, slightly boozy suede, grounded by earthy patchouli and moss, creating a warm, masculine aroma with a touch of old-school class.
