The Story
Tsar Eau de Toilette Intense is a bold, aromatic fougère that takes the classic Tsar DNA and turns up the volume. It opens with a sharp burst of grapefruit and lavender, then settles into a spicy, woody heart with a touch of leather. The base is warm and masculine, with cedar, amber, and musk. This is a confident, no-nonsense scent for the modern man.
