The review
On paper, Intenso is a strong bet if you want Intenso for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Intenso's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 79% less than Intenso.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on lavender, basil and bergamot, turns to hay, moss and geranium, and settles into tobacco, amber and civet. That is the brief Intenso is working from.
Top

Heart

Base

- civet
Lavender over damp hay and moss, the most characterful masculine the house ever released.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Dolce&Gabbana Intenso we can price, Intenso is number 3 on price per 100ml.
