Porsche Design The Essence Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. The Essence Intense opens with Blueberry and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Pine, Cinnamon, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Pepper. Porsche Design's The Essence Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

The Essence Intense is an odd, interesting mix of blueberry and mandarin sweetness against pine, cinnamon and myrrh. Pepper and vetiver keep it dry and masculine. It is more distinctive than most designer men's scents, though the fruit and resin pairing will not suit everyone.

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.

About

The Essence Intense opens with blueberry and mandarin, a sweet and slightly tart start that is not common in men's fragrance. The heart brings pine, cinnamon and myrrh, adding a cool resinous freshness and a warm spice. The base is pepper and vetiver, which dry everything down into a grounded, earthy finish. It is a woody, spicy eau de parfum with an unexpected fruity twist at the top.
