The Story
Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme Eau de Toilette Intense is a richer, deeper take on the original. It opens with a burst of fresh grapefruit and bergamot, then settles into a warm, spicy heart of cinnamon and nutmeg. The base is a smooth blend of cedar, sandalwood, and amber, giving it a refined, masculine finish. This is a versatile scent that works well for both day and night.
