A darker and more sensual take on the original Mercedes-Benz Man, Man Intense opens with a green lift of pear leaf wrapped in musky ambrette before moving into a clean floral heart of geranium over earthy oakmoss. The dry down layers modern ambroxan with patchouli and amber for a polished woody amber trail that feels confident, versatile, and easy to wear from office to evening. Created by master perfumer Olivier Cresp and released in 2020, it balances freshness with depth for year-round appeal.

Story and Positioning
Positioned as the woodier and more powerful follow-up to Mercedes-Benz Man from 2015, Man Intense keeps the original signature and amplifies it with a suave amber and ambroxan finish. If you enjoy clean aromatic woods in the modern blue style, it is often compared for vibe to Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum, Parfums de Marly Percival, Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum, and Dior Sauvage. It sits within the broader Mercedes-Benz Man line alongside editions such as Man Private, Man Fresh, and Man Bright.
Bottle and Design
The bottle reprises the ergonomic square with rounded corners and a central three-pointed star medallion, finished in deep black lacquer with an ultra-glossy sheen for an elegant, collector look. The thick glass and smooth contours give a solid feel in the hand, while the presentation emphasizes the star logo for instant recognition.
