As the title indicates, it is not a flanker of Drakkar Noir. When you first spray it on, there is that similar base (green, Fougere) but on the dry down (within 30 minutes or so), it is different. This has a little more spice. It also has more hints of leather and is slightly creamier. The drawback is the performance. Although an EDP concentration, it does not last long (around 3 to 4 hours at the most). I would purchase again if the price dropped considerably.

Because of its longevity which is about 2-4 hours then it becomes a skin scent or pretty much undetectable, so this would be ideal for a date night , intimate settings or if you're just wanting some attention for about 2 hours. It is a nice scent that smells good and fresh

I like this, not sure if it works with my particular body chemistry the scent doesn't seem to last very long.

llego rapido y en buen estado

I love the Guy Laroche Drakkar products, they smell great, unfortunately, they don't last long (2 to3 hrs.,), but at their prices, they are still a great product, if only for a short while.

I got this for my boyfriend as he was talking about wanting this since it came out, he has an original Drakkar, as well. I personally like this one much better. He loves it too!

Good product

The first spray was a little weird but once it dried it smelled really nice.It's like a woodsy, oak/sweet scent. It lasts a little while but will have to be reapplied again through the day.Worth the money.

Spray sometimes on clothing and house fragrance

Great value for the price. Smells great.

I love it. It smells very nice. Unfortunately it does not stay long

Strong and intense at first but does not last long

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

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

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
