Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Parfum Intense is a Parfum launched in 2013, created by Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo. L'Homme Parfum Intense opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Violet Leaf, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Suede, Woody Notes, Leather, and Cedar. Yves Saint Laurent's L'Homme Parfum Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a discontinued charmer, loved for its sexy sweetness but widely criticised for its frustratingly poor performance as a "Parfum Intense." If you can get past the vanishing act, it's considered liquid gold by its devoted fans, who mourn its loss and hoard their bottles for special occasions.

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.

Also Works:
Office Casual

Despite its 'intense' label, performance is often reported as moderate to weak, making it suitable for office wear if applied lightly. Its warm, sensual amber and leather profile is perfect for romantic dates and cooler evening events, while its sweetness leans away from casual daytime or sport settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

L'Homme Parfum Intense opens with a bright, peppery zest of lemon and bergamot before settling into a sophisticated heart of orange blossom and violet leaf. The real depth emerges with a warm, sensual amber base, intertwined with soft leathers, suede, and creamy benzoin, creating a smooth yet woody dry-down with an intriguing animalic edge that's both sweet and refined.
