What does Mercedes-Benz Intense smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and daily, business and leisure wear lead the occasions. It reads as masculine, with voters split between classic and modern. Mercedes-Benz for Men (Eau de Toilette) and Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

It opens with Italian mandarin orange and Calabrian bergamot, softened by a green edge from violet leaf absolute. The heart pairs violet with Madagascar pepper. The base settles into Bourbon vetiver, American cedar and patchouli, with ambrox lending it a touch of sweetness.
