Guerlain Homme Intense (Eau de Parfum Intense) appears on the market as an improved, deeper and more sensual version of the last year’s Guerlain Homme edition, created by the perfumers Thierry Wasser and Sylvaine Delacourte.
The composition of the more intensive Guerlain seducer is also blended by the principle of dualism – human and animalistic, emphasizing at the top notes green aromas of mint, rhubarb leaf and narcotic rum. The heart of the fragrance is a floral bouquet of geranium, wrapped up in the woody base of patchouli, cedar and vetiver.
The bottle of Guerlain Homme Intense carries the same modern form as the previous one, made by Pininfarine out of metal and glass. The new edition is formed out of dark – grey glass and dark – grey metal plate, pointing out the more intensive and stronger aromas. It is expected to be available for sale from September 2009 as 50 and 80 ml EDP.

If Chanel Allure Homme Sport Edition Blanche is a lemon, this scent right here would almost be the lime. Very unisex!
Starts off very fresh and citrus with a hint of rum, a complement getter, people loves it in my skin. I would day the scent stays rather close to the skin, not a good clubbing scent but rather a late evening scent. I think it would be perfect for hot summer weather as well as spring and autumn. I could smell the perfume two days after on my shirt. Love!
Dark, mysterious, manly, classy and powerful.
This one is reminiscent of the original; but darker, bolder and sharper. Rum and floral notes mix extremely well to create a unique masculine boldness.
It would be a great choice for 30+ men for nighttime.
رایحه اولیه زیاد جالب نیست.ولی بعدش خیلی بهتر میشه.
A ditto of its predecessor with no sensible change in the scent. Despite being an EDP, the longevity is considerably shorter than EDP version!! It's incredible and unlogic, but however the actual results have proven so, unfortunately. The smell is wonderfully great though. For all the rest, refer to its EDT version page.
my juice is nearly finish. and i am definitely will again buy guerlain homme intense.. it is like my second skin.. stay all day and project nicely..
For my nose too sharp. Odd heavy-dusty sweet freshness of the woods and flowers blended with rum (also woody in my opinion) aroma lightened by subtle touch of mint and sunny "malty" ruburb.
It's not that I dislike it. I find it very nice and well-made, lasting and with proper sillage. It's quite sexy, mature and vivid but yet just not comfortable enough for me, especially because of mentioned dustiness and freshness in a fatiguing me, not relaxing way. I'm not stunned with uniqueness either.
Tested on a chilly autumn day, it feels like too little for evening occasion and too much for daytime. I can imagine it fits perfectly summer night events or anytime in warm season for expressive men - any age obove 20. And due to this character, as a company to dance in carnival time (I mean winter), maybe.
To sum up, not bad, not great. Rather linear, doesn't deserve neither my "like" or "hate".
Can someone please tell me where I can find a sample of Guerlain homme intense? I really wanna try it
The initial accords are somehow run of the mill, but the mid and base notes make all the difference: I can't trace the mint, I do perceive an alcoholic - beverage note ("rhum" according to the pyramid), as well as the geranium and the vetiver; the patchouli is very evident in the base note but not to the extent of turning the blend into the kind of patchouli prominent scent as those released in the 1980's. This woodiness makes all what is worth of it, I get a feeling that is similar to that of aged paper which has been sprayed with perfume, a very distinct kind of woodiness that is extremely enjoyable.
It might bot be the kind of scent expected from Guerlain, I guess all fragrance aficionados looked after the famous proprietary note of Guerlain in it, La Guerlinade. For these, they won't find iris and amber notes calling for its typical powdery - vanillic like accords. Still, I think it is a very good rendition of a kind of blend others failed miserably at blending, the so called "boring / common" aromatic woody scents.
IMHO, Guerlain did not fail my expectations.
I absolutely love wearing this scent except I can't seem to get past the issue of a short longevity on my skin.
I have Guerlain Homme (which is great) but after looking at the reviews and the notes for this, I want some of this juice.
What is there not to love about this fragrance...my goodness...this is a beautiful fragrance.
When i compare it to original guerlain homme,i see it less citric ,more minty,darker and sweeter because of rum with a very nice vetiver note.
The problem with original is the cheap dry down.
Intense version is more naturel IMO,more quality.
Versatile to wearing at work,class,evening...in spring ,fall and winter.
Longevity about 8 hours with fairly good projection.
I am in love with it!!
Is there any stores in california that has this? i wanna sniff
xerxes, kir to kose nanat, chera farsi type mikony? nanato az koon kardam madar jendeh.
اصلا ماندگاری نداره...خیلی بده ..هم EDT اینجوریه هم EDP .
حیف اون بو که نمیمونه.
This illustrates an evil spider on his net waiting for a females hunt; and when a girls jumps into the net, everything is literally finished!
Opening without any hint of citruses makes it serious and out of any romantic mood; smells like a male predator!
There's something in this that girls just surrender! Not so sexy and lovely, just like a piece of hard stone that charms!
Absolutely masculine, but young and narcissus too.
Well, some mixed reviews here. Here is my take...
I have sampled both the normal and intense version. I ended up buying the intense. For me the normal EDT was nice but the lime in it kept reminding me of washed out pine+lime disinfectant. Not good.
So back to EDP review...
This is much deeper and stronger version of the EDT, smells classy and does not have the 'disinfectant tinge' to it.
First spray a refined fresh minty blast, underpinned by lime, woody rum base which will come into its own later on...
After the first couple of minutes the mint subdues but remains constant, this enables the vibrant and energizing greeness aspect of the fragrance to come through...
This 'greenness' in order of prominence is a mixture of geranium and rhubarb, mint and lime. But there is a twist I was not expecting! it actually turns a bit floral in a good way! the floral gives it a classy edge and this is what sets Guerlain apart from the rest, subtle but superbly balanced.
Continuing with the journey the remainder of the fragrance is mainly, woody and green underpinned by a dark rum accord. The final drydown is woody dark rum and sweet rhubarb.
I apply 3 sprays which is more than enough, apart from the initial hour this scent stays within your personal space so within 1 meter, but projects more in the heat of the day.
Only downside is fresh mint fades quickly which is too be expected, its not that memorable but smells very good an inoffensive. Girls will like it :)
Best worn in the summer especially in the evenings at outdoor events. Versatile enough to be used during the day and at work (but go easy on the trigger max. 2 sprays in the office).
A solid fragrance 8/10
Great scent, BUT...its a difficult scent.
So complicated, so subtle, so Guerlain, I love this, it's at once spicy and fresh, deep and clean, masculine and delicate. It has distinct herbal and woody notes which combine to give an almost gourmand edge, I'm presuming these are the Rhubarb, Mint and Rum notes.
There's something slightly pale and wan about this perfume too, more distinct in the original Guerlain Homme and somewhat lessened in the Intense version but it remains slightly melancholy and whistful.
Unique, and very different from the mainstream of mens perfumery despite the first few seconds of top note which do smell a little confused and brassy.
I first sniffed the original Guerlain Homme and -loved- it but I didn't buy it on the basis of longevity issues.
Guerlain Homme Intense is one of those rare fragrances that made me think on the same day of smelling it "I want this. It's mine. I have to own this!"
Sprays - 1 or 2 on the neck and 1 optional on the wrist
Lasting power - minimum 10 hours of freshness everytime time
Sillage - medium, definitely innoffensive
Attire - Suit / smart casual
Occasion - Office / formal event / anywhere you need to wear shoes
A daytime or an evening scent
Something not listed in the fragrance breakdown that I detect is a tea note which really makes this a bit more aromatic and comforting to smell.
Wearing in the mornings is great because of the mint and lime in the beginning and no one on the train to work will be offended by it. Instead it will put a smile on their face :-)
In the heart the slightly sweet masculine florals make your bubble at work more enjoyable to be in.
If I had to describe the fragrance in one word it has to be "PERFECTION".
9.5/10
sexiest perfume ever.. very well blended and balanced... wow, i'm lucky
Just spray it and cuddle with a girl. This memory will stay forever.
Hi.
When i was in the perfumery for test this one i saw one lady who was disheveled after test a lot of male fragrances but when she tried it immediate scream:WOW this is my favorite for my lover. Great product and great texture.in my mind most intense fragrances are double better than original version and this one is really better than GURLAIN HOMME too.
GUERLAIN HOMME INTENSE is one of those fragrances that announces your arrival before you even enter the room!top notes of mint and rhubarb fade into a warm heart of floral notes and rum and the base includes a unique blend of vetiver,patchouli and cedar.drydown it has a woodsy feel which is great and amazing.
Powerful,Woody,Charismatic,Classy, Artistic and long lasting.in fact it has more charisma and oomph than original version.This EDP is a perfect fragrance for OFFICE,because it makes you feel competent and strong.it is great for AUTUMN weather and one of the best in the last years from GUERLAIN this great perfume house.
Sillage?Excellent
Longevity?About 14 hours on my skin.
8/10
iS AND INCREDIBLE PARFUM, I remindme the escents of Corialan, but in this case is most conplex. I really like guerlains frangances because are so naturals, for my is a clasicm i will buy in very short time
Complex. Noir. Guerlain.
amazing intense perfume, I'll buy it forever.
I sampled this frag on my hand yesterday I just could not help but to keep sniffing on my hand all day till I went to bed. It is absolutely delicious, very classy and has a smell of richness and affluence...hmm...hmm!
This is my first encounter with Guerlain but I'm sure it ain't my last because amma definitely get myself one of these for keeps.
A stronger/woodier version of Guerlain Homme which gives me a hard time to describe it in a few words.
A very complex scent coming from an old genuine house with tradition and style.
I don't have L'Instant (I know it & it's now in my 'have to buy'list) but I didn't felt similarities with this one.
All I could felt when I've put a generous spray on my wrist was a stunning & complex smell..I couldn't put my finger on one particular note...there was mint, some herbal note, some rum?, maybe a boozy geranium & patchouli with cedarwood at the end....Double Wow!...
It lasted more then 8-9 hrs on my wrist and the projection was very good in the first 3-4 hrs...what can I ask more? A must have for me, as I see myself putting it on for special occasions. My humble personal rank 9.0/10
I tested it today and I have to say Homme Intense is one of the best men perfumes I have ever smelled! It’s a very complex smell and I can’t describe it just as “woody”. I think Homme Intense is a lot more then “woody” – it’s a very special scent. Definitely I will buy this one.
Tested this on holiday. Very nice - it reminded me of an ice cold mojito mixed with a light crisp fruity scent. The rum note was there but subtle on me. I admit I much prefer the top notes and wished that had stayed on me the entire time. The woody notes at the end were quite tame and I really had to sniff hard at my wrist to smell them. This would not put me off though, and I would buy this fragrance if I see it for a good price.
What stores carry Guerlain Homme Intense by Guerlain for men in New York,Maryland and Washington DC area. Please, include stores phone number.
Well, if this is the stronger version of the lovely Guerlain Homme - I definitely want it!!
The woody notes are WOW...Well the Frag mainly is very much like plenty other nice special Perfumes...But i like it cus it last on me Fr more then 24 hrs....It is special for special moments of evening and late NIGHTS !!!
ITS AWESOME,,GOOD PERFUME BY GUERLAIN
smell it today, for me Guess Suede, Euphoria Men Intense, Guerlain Homme Intense are the same style scent(dry down): strong , so sweet( as the same way), long lasting, some time make you headache, but they don't have the same price, one is so expensive, one is medium and one is cheap.
3 were made by deffirent formula so they have a little deffirent, you can identify when smell it on paper stick(carefully) but on your body, it hard to identify 3 of them.
So you must think of your choesing. don't waste you money.
this perfume its the best in my colection,its the best of the best ant stay about 14 hours on me super perfum
This is a well built scent.
It has structure,elegance and a twist of sensuality.
The rum-rhuburb combination,brings an imaginary"chestnut"note in the mix.
Is it unforgettable?Not so sure...
Still it is a fine choice,in times of draught,as far as masculine-perfumes-inspiration is concerned...
This is a unique mix come from a classy house like Guerlain, unfortunatly, this nice mixture doesn't last for long as L'Instant for example, so take this perfume as a minor use or use it with other perfume to streght it, I don't recommend to make it your main day - night fragrance.
The last days i tried my new GHI EdP. Its a very nice scent, but on my skin the longetivity is moderate. But as a said: a real Guerlain and if you like Guerlain, try it !
This EDP version of Homme is perfect by all means. The sillage is MUCH better and there is no need to talk about the longevity. It's a winner. Guerlain is for special people who know about their styles.
Guerlain Homme Intense is much more woody then Guerlain Homme. The silage is the same as Guerlain Homme but it last much longer, because it is an Eau de Parfum.
I think that it is a very interesting fragrance for all occassions. Even woman can wear it perfectly! Guerlain Homme Intense has notting to do with "Mallow Men" or L'Instant pour Homme. They share a few notes and the woody aspect of Guerlain Homme Intense is very dominant in L'Instant pour Homme.
It still is a very fresh fragrance, what I wear with a suit, sportswear, ... . Is this a typical male fragrance? Who defines which fragrances a man should wear? Perfume is to complex and personal to make rules for it. You want to wear Shalimar instead as a man? No problem. It's you, it's your personality... You choose!
Guerlain Homme Intense will become timeless. It suits all ages, it will survive and become a classic. Guerlain fragrances always need some time to settle in... .
It is same as the original because this is edp version, only stronger and has more sillage.
And in this edp version I got some similar notes from L'instant more clear.
I prefer edp version.
Long lasting.
I dont know how mojito is but this is very delicious.
However edp this is still 4 mellow man.
Formal and best fits suit, I cant imagine on casual.
It is surprisingly long lastin, after 3 wash of hands and shower still smells!
this one smells exactly like the original EDT but STRONGER in every way! if you liked guerlain l'homme and you're ok with it then I don't suggest getting this one but if you really loved the original and want more then this is for you!
basically this is the EDP version!
Any sightings in the shops ?
As a admirer of the Guerlain scents,
this is a "i want it" for sure !!!
