Great smell. NOT too strong or over powering. Fair price, good deal. Highly recommended.

Great scent get a lot of compliments and very comparable and just like it’s name it’s intense drakkur noir scent.

Lovely manly cologne, smells like a fall afternoon that brings in a breeze a sweet wood and a bit of patchouli scent

This is a classic fragrance smell that I like quite a bit. You can easily detect the vanilla, rosemary, patchouli, and bergamot. The fragrance comes in a 1.7 oz bottle that is dark brown with the standard Drakkar cologne shape. I can usually get good coverage with about 2 spritzes. The longevity on this is about average for me and the price is not too shabby for what you get.

I love this scent and it's longevity

Drakkar Intense needs time; time to adjust to the chemistry of who's wearing it. At first, we found the vanilla notes to be strong on all 3 who tried it but it calmed significantly on everyone.1 - after 20 minutes liked the smell and noted patchouli with the vanilla as the primary notes.2 - after 20 minutes was indifferent finding it too sweet “like a fall latte”3 - after 20 minutes liked it very much finding vanilla to be forward but sage and coriander strong backupNobody noticed any citrus notes and tho't the scent lasted all night long. Everyone was pleased with the packaging and delivery system but was concerned that they'd forget to “go easy on the sprays” and end up needing to open a few windows due to potency.All things considered, a good addition to any fragrance collection but use carefully

This arrives fully shrink-wrapped. Pop off that plastic and then open this box. Know that everything is really nicely packaged! Love that!The bottle is a clear glass (unlike the Noir version). And the scent is warm/spicy. Whereas the Noir version allows for several spritzes, this only really allows for one. So select your wrists, your hair, wherever you best like to spritz, but leave it at one spray. This stuff is powerful! Like shockingly powerful! So, Intense is not a misnomer!But, all of this is great because it means you will use less and the bottle will last longer. And, this dries down nicely and really, really lasts!A powerful, long-lasting cologne! Very nice!

My dad loves Drakkar as it's strong and very very masculine. He likes it during the summer when other people can have a certain BO that no one else wants to smell.

If you grew up in the 80s, you were probably familiar with Drakkar Noir, which was the Axe body spray of its day. Granted, the Drakkar smells SO much better than Axe body sprays that followed in the 90s (and still float in the atmosphere today. That much body spray is likely why aliens don't visit.). I never minded the scent of Drakkar back then, and this latest offering brings back some pleasant memories.While giving the various components of this scent helps a person pick a cologne or perfume that contains notes they prefer, a person's particular chemistry is what determines what a product will smell like after application. When I opened the bottle, all I could smell was warm, cinnamony vanilla. Not bad, but too sweet for my tastes. I had both my husband and adult nephew try this on and come back in 15 minutes so I could check out how the scent profile adapted to their personal body chemistry. I even tried it in myself. For my husband, the vanilla notes were gone but the sandalwood note was dominant, followed by the sage and bergamot. The suede was a subtle base note. Neither of us picked up any patchouli or lavandin (an earthier, more herbal scented form lavender), and we're thankful that the white vanilla wasn't as a strong as feared. Staying power is excellent, and the notes stay woven together as they fade so one note doesn't take over for a little bit, then another, and so on. It's so nice to have a scent that actually stays blended and true from the time it's first applied to when it's washed away. MmmOn my nephew, this time the vanilla did come through a little bit, but once again the sandalwood was predominant. There's was a hint of sage and suede and unexpected smokiness. No patchouli or lavandin again. On both guys, the scent mellowed to become an amazingly warm and comforting scent. You can imagine cuddling up with your guy next to a small fire in the fireplace or around a campfire in autumn, sharing a blanket and some hot tea or cocoa while watching the night sky for shooting stars. It's a very comforting and comfortable scent to be around. The man who would wear this is easy going, unpretentious, and friendly. You can tell this isn't the kind of cologne that screams “I'm rich and perfect so I want everyone around me to know so you all can jealous of the fact I wear the most expensive cologne ever, even if it smells like urinal spray.”For me, this Drakkar intense evokes a loving, enveloping hug that lets me know I'm safe and loved. This is a superb fall/winter scent. There's not enough clean crisp scents such as citrus to cut through the sensuous warmth of this cologne, but that's perfectly fine with me and the men in the family who have found a new favorite scent to add to their mix. If they choose to add in body wash and/or body lotion, sign me up.M

Drakkar has been around for quite some time and this new scent proves why...it's nice and masculine (as long as a guy doesn't drown himself in it.)I'd definitely get it as a gift for my son or husband.
