A sleek woody spicy composition that spotlights an inky violet leaf glow over bright Italian citrus, Mercedes-Benz Intense feels confident yet easy to wear. The opening moves from lemon and Calabrian bergamot into a cool violet heart touched with bourbon pepper and a hint of cascalone freshness, then settles into a polished trail of cedar, patchouli, bourbon vetiver, and cetalox for a suave signature that dresses up or down with equal ease.
Launch and Perfumer
Launched in 2013. Perfumer Olivier Cresp crafted Intense as a deeper, more sophisticated interpretation of Mercedes-Benz For Men while preserving its elegant DNA.
Olfactory Notes
Top: Violet leaf, Lemon, Calabrian bergamot, Italian mandarin
Heart: Violet, Bourbon pepper, Nutmeg, Galbanum, Cascalone
Base: Bourbon vetiver, Cedar, Patchouli, Cetalox, Ambrox tonalities
Story and Positioning
Designed as the richer chapter of the original Mercedes-Benz For Men line, Intense leans into woody amber facets and a cool violet theme for an urbane, after-hours mood. If you gravitate toward the violet leaf leather vibe popularized by icons like Dior Fahrenheit or its aquatic spin Aqua Fahrenheit, Intense explores a comparable territory while keeping a distinctly modern cedar and amber finish.
Bottle and Design
The flacon reprises the round, weighty silhouette of the original with a smoky graphite gradient that clears toward the base. A metallic collar frames the magnetic cap crowned by the three-pointed star medallion, and the oversized atomizer gives a smooth, even spray. The overall look reads refined and masculine while remaining unmistakably automotive in spirit.
