Intenso

Intenso, a Warm Aromatic Tobacco

Dolce & Gabbana Intenso is a warm aromatic tobacco scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with basil, lavender, and water notes before a tobacco, geranium, and labdanum heart settles over oakmoss, sandalwood, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Dolce & Gabbana built Intenso as a warm, refined scent, all fresh herbs and soft tobacco over a mossy base. The idea was a sophisticated, grounded masculinity.

That warm refinement is its appeal. The basil and lavender give it a fresh, aromatic lift, the tobacco and labdanum add a warm depth, and the oakmoss and sandalwood keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same sophisticated path.
