Tous Man Intense by Tous

First time trying this Spanish brand, and I got Tous Man Intense. I was pleasantly surprised; it’s a fairly modern fougère. It hits the three B’s (good, beautiful, and cheap). The herbal notes with neroli open up with unusual intensity, giving a sense of well-being. Projection lasts about an hour, and longevity is six to eight hours (six in my case). After that, it fades and sits right on the skin. Ideal for any occasion; in my opinion, it’s the typical office and professional suit perfume. It’s noticeable but not overpowering. Its main use is daytime and in all seasons—a true all-rounder. It could work at night, but I wouldn’t recommend it, though everyone should use it as they please. In summary, an herbal and citrus fragrance for any moment or season, day or night, that will get you compliments. Cheers.

Good perfume. It has decent projection and excellent longevity, lasting over 10 hours on my skin. I bought the 50 ml bottle at El Corte Inglés in 2023. It’s a white floral with aromatic green touches. I don’t find it generic; it has personality and doesn’t resemble Le Male or D&G Pour Homme without citrus. It follows the path of Fierce but lacks metallic notes. It’s an all-rounder, suitable for all year except extreme summer heat. Perfect for work in air-conditioned environments; it lasts the whole day, and I can still smell it at night. It could be a signature scent. It’s not expensive and is well worth it for what it offers.

Top fragrance, smells like a freshly showered and clean man. It lasted over 12 hours on my clothes and about 6 on my skin. For the price, it’s a total hit, one of my favorites.

It sounds a bit retro, early 2000s style, and you can tell it’s a bit outdated. At first, it didn’t convince me, but upon trying it again, it’s nothing striking. I’d lean more toward Tous Man Chill, which is fresher and more elegant. The price is high, at least here in Mexico. I’d use it for informal outings, hanging out at home, or at the office. Price 7/10, longevity 8/10, sillage 7/10.

The scent feels like another era; it’s a green smell, a bit more modern than classic fougères but not modern. It smells serious and clean. It’s very versatile, ideal for the office where it’s famous; it’s the smell of the veteran colleague who’s been there all their life. To me, at 48, I don’t see myself wearing it; if I’m looking for something vintage, I prefer something that makes a statement, something bolder. Longevity is reasonable, good for a half-day or intensive wear, but it doesn’t last until late afternoon for a split shift. The price seems high; I think there are better options for both vintage and modern scents with that goal in mind. If you’re thinking about the office, I personally think the undervalued Part Time Hero from the goose is a very good option.

Please stop thinking this fragrance is only ‘for the office.’ Open your minds and realize there are many more places to wear it. It’s contradictory to call it versatile and then box it into a single setting.

Upon applying it, I feel like everything goes back to the 90s or 2000s. I’m excited to find this olfactive piece that recalls the classic cut of back then. It starts with a harmonious combo of lavender and sage, fresh as if they were in a distant field under the sun and morning air, accompanied by herbal petitgrain and bright as if crushing a lemon leaf, plus a sour neroli that makes it soapy and clean. In the first 30 minutes, the projection is immense. After an hour, it stays linear but loses its initial brightness, becoming dense and rounded with a cold, metallic lavender. Projection is moderate but leaves a huge trail. The next day, in the heart notes, it stays firm with a soft tonka vanilla sweetness. I detect a chemical point that reminds me of shoe polish. On skin it lasted 8 hours and 3 days on clothes. It has a great resemblance to the Vintage version of D&G Pour Homme, my favorite. Very versatile, it evokes old small-plane hangars smelling of metal and oil, my uncle with his leather jacket and D&G Vintage smoking before flying. I find all that here. I have no idea how much I enjoy its aroma; in it I find old memories, faces of family and friends I’ve lost track of. It’s deeply nostalgic… Sorry to ramble so much, it fills me with pleasure to share these experiences. Cheers!

The moment I apply it, I feel like I’ve been thrown back to the 90s or 2000s. I’m thrilled to find this olfactory piece that revives the classic cut of that era. It starts with a combo of lavender and sage, fresh as if they were in a distant field under the sun, with herbal petitgrain and sour neroli that makes it soapy and clean. The projection is immense at first. After an hour, it becomes denser with that cold, metallic lavender. It leaves a huge trail. The next day, tonka bean adds a soft sweetness, though I detect a chemical point that reminds me of shoe polish. On skin, it lasts 8 hours and 3 days on clothes. It has a great resemblance to the Dolce&Gabbana Vintage version, my favorite. It evokes old small-plane hangars, the metallic smell, my uncle with his leather jacket and a cigarette. It’s deeply nostalgic, bringing back faces of lost family and friends. I enjoy its aroma immensely. I apologize for rambling; it fills me with joy to share these experiences. Greetings.

A delicacy for daily wear, office type. I recommend it for days that aren’t too hot or night outings. If you don’t have many perfumes, this is versatile: daily use, night outs, dinners with the girlfriend, conquest. Super recommended.

I have it in my hands again today. I remember when I first met it, back in 2013. I fell in love from that moment, and when I wore it, I received many compliments. It’s a fragrance that delivers on all fronts. Excellent for any occasion. For dates, it’s great because it definitely gets a few sighs out of people, hehe. From my point of view, it’s like a well-made combination between Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch and Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme. Rich, aromatic, dark green, sweet, herbal. Wow, it’s a well-made gem. I recommend it for the office and even for night outings, a bar with friends, or a solo date. As for longevity, it does very well: 6-8 hours with moderate and solid projection. Yes, I recommend trying it first, because if you’re demanding or an expert, you might feel it’s generic. For me, I don’t care if it’s ‘generic’; I’m simply fascinated and I’ve bought it again to enjoy. Big hug and blessings to everyone.

The perfume doesn’t disgust me, but I can’t say I love it. I bought it for the price and because it’s often compared to Fierce or D&G Pour Homme, which are ridiculously expensive or impossible to find here. The opening is fresh and pleasant, though it lasts only a few minutes. I don’t detect clear fruity notes, but there’s something sweet, powdery, and soapy, like a distant coconut. I can’t pinpoint lavender, sage, or florals; it seems the base notes dominate from start to finish. I can’t really compare it to anything, though I remember smelling something similar on a white bar deodorant, maybe Nivea or Rexona? When it dries down, it clings to the skin with a vanilla-ish tone. It’s linear, almost monotonous. The longevity is brutal: over 8 hours and still going. The projection is subdued but persistent; it follows you everywhere like you stepped in dog poop and can’t get it off until you wash your shoes. My nose isn’t hooked on it, but I don’t think anyone would dislike it—it smells like a detox soap bath, which explains why it’s a top pick for the office. Verdict: acceptable in scent, price, and performance.

It smells identical to the 2017 Perry Ellis. It stays the same for the first two hours, then develops a sweeter facet that sets it apart from Perry Ellis and Abercrombie. It has great longevity on clothes, though personally, you need to be close to appreciate it. It’s nice and finishes with an amber touch that lingers until the very end. Worth it for the quality-price ratio. If you don’t have Abercrombie, Montblanc Legend, or the 2017 Perry Ellis, this is a good option. Out of everything I own, the Perry Ellis lasts much longer than the reformulated Abercrombie.

This perfume seems to have a nostalgic vibe, not just because one of its creators is Pierre Wargnye, behind Drakkar Noir, arguably the most important cologne of the eighties, but because it feels conceived in another decade and transported to today by a time machine. The proposal is formal yet fresh, clean, neat, even soapy, though also spiced and wood-heavy. In short, the perfect office perfume: serious, elegant, commanding respect, yet kind to others thanks to its floral, citrus, and herbal top notes. It’s a well-made mid-nineties fragrance that respects the wearer. Finally, an “Intense” that makes sense: Tous Man Intense is powerful, lasts all day without being excessive, and projects above average. Very similar to Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme, but without the lavender dominance, or even Fierce, as if it had gone through a steroid cycle. That’s the idea: citrus, herbal, metallic, spiced, and woody. People will notice you approaching, but in a good way. The best office perfume I’ve ever smelled.

It seems like it doesn’t last long, but on skin it’s intense and durable. Smells clean, very bar soap-like. I see it for cold climates because it’s dense, or for the office with AC to project cleanliness; in heat, it can be annoying. Edit: after several days on skin, I sold it. The floral notes become too present and bothersome; I don’t like how it evolves and it conveys nothing. I don’t think anyone would compliment me wearing it.

@Jerry Drake: for me, a perfume labeled ‘Intense’, ‘Extreme’, or ‘Forte’ should have a powerful sillage. This one lasts on my skin, but with moderate to low projection. It’s just about how you understand the adjective ‘Intense’ or what you’re looking for when it carries that label.
