   I have owned Drakkar Intense for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The drydown leans on Lavender plus Patchouli and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The opening is built around Wormwood and Coriander — bright and immediately recognizable. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   Guy Laroche knows how to compose, and Drakkar Intense (2022) is proof. The heart is the best part for me: Lavender and Clary Sage feel carefully balanced. The first minutes are all about Wormwood with a hint of Coriander — it grabs attention without being pushy. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   Picked up a sample of Drakkar Intense after reading the community buzz (2022). The heart is the best part for me: Lavender and Clary Sage feel carefully balanced. That first spray gives a lovely Wormwood/Coriander impression that dries down smoothly. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   A friend passed me a decant of Drakkar Intense (2022) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The heart is the best part for me: Lavender and Clary Sage feel carefully balanced. The opening is built around Wormwood and Coriander — bright and immediately recognizable. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   A friend passed me a decant of Drakkar Intense (2022) and I wasn’t prepared for it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lavender with Clary Sage, which is where the fragrance really shines. The opening is built around Wormwood and Coriander — bright and immediately recognizable. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   A couple of wears in, Drakkar Intense has really grown on me. As it settles, Lavender and Patchouli come through and give it real depth. Give it a little time and Lavender with Clary Sage comes forward — smooth and well done. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   Everyone keeps talking about Drakkar Intense, so I finally gave it a proper test. The drydown leans on Lavender plus Patchouli and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The heart is the best part for me: Lavender and Clary Sage feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Drakkar Intense. The heart is the best part for me: Lavender and Clary Sage feel carefully balanced. The very first sniff is crisp Wormwood with Coriander peeking through, very much my kind of start. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

    I have owned Drakkar Intense for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. Right away I get mostly Wormwood alongside Coriander, fresh and very easy to wear. The very first sniff is crisp Wormwood with Coriander peeking through, very much my kind of start. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

The very first sniff is crisp Wormwood with Coriander peeking through, very much my kind of start. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. I wanted to like it more than I did.
