How does this compare to the original Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme?+−
Intenso is notably less "lemony" and bright than the original. It keeps the soapy cleanliness of the DNA but replaces the citrus-heavy opening with green herbs and a much deeper, woodier base of tobacco and cypress.
Is this a better choice for daytime or evening wear?+−
It is remarkably balanced across all occasions. While the tobacco and resins give it enough weight for evening use, its herbal basil and lavender notes are clean enough for daily business wear and casual daytime outings.
Does the "Intenso" title mean it lasts a long time?+−
Despite being an Eau de Parfum, the community generally finds its longevity to be moderate. You can expect a few hours of solid projection before it settles into a more personal, skin-scent aura.
Is this a sweet fragrance?+−
It has a mild, balsamic sweetness derived from the bran and hay absolutes, but it is not a "gourmand" or sugary scent. The sweetness is dry and natural rather than syrupy.
