Released in 2013, Mercedes Benz Intense was designed by renowned perfumer Olivier Cresp. This deep, woody fragrance gets its name from being an even more powerful version of the original, as well as from the bottle, which is distinctly pitch black on top while fading to a crystalline white on the bottom. The blend features top notes of lemon, Italian mandarin, violet leaf absolute, and Calabrian bergamot. The fragrance’s heart contains notes of violet, nutmeg, cascalone, bourbon pepper, and galbanum. Finishing notes of cetalox, bourbon vetiver, cedar wood, ambrox, Indonesian patchouli, and limbinol provide a complex but alluring base that make this fragrance one of a kind.
