Tous Man Intense by Tous

Stop! Don’t miss this—it will save you a fortune 🛑 If you like vintage versions of D&G Pour Homme, Fierce, Montblanc Legend Intense, or Percival de Marly but can’t afford the crazy prices, Tous Man Intense is the best budget alternative. A hidden gem at a ridiculous price. At first, it smells like a mall store, like Hollister: youthful, fresh, and clean, with a slightly old-school base from the oak moss that gives it character without making it feel dated. Regarding the florals: • The orange blossom adds a soft, white, slightly sweet, and creamy scent—a clean feeling without being soapy, very masculine. • The neroli is greener, more citrusy, and bitter, giving it that “spicy” and vibrant touch that lifts the blend. It never smells feminine; instead, it’s fresh and elegant. Overall, it’s a spiced citrus with a subtle sweet note, very well balanced. 📅 Wear it all year 💼 Perfect for the office – 👕 Casual outings – 🏋️♂️ Even at the gym ⸻ ⚠️ The downsides: • The opening is very alcoholic, like disinfectant, but it lasts only a few seconds. • If you wear it daily, it can become linear and predictable. ⸻ Despite that, for the price and performance, it earns praise and never fails. A low-cost diamond that smells like something much more expensive. Don’t underestimate it. Hidden quality in a bottle almost no one looks at!

At first, a soft citrus note, probably the blend of petit grain and neroli. Then came a floral impression that felt more like violet leaves than lavender. The sage adds that cleanliness note, so it smells fresh. After 4 hours, I clearly detect the lavender, along with the florals and neroli, reminding me of parts of the D&G Pour Homme, that soapy floral touch. At 8 hours, the sage is still present (not sharp or metallic like in other scents), the musk, and a note trying to emulate moss (with IFRA limitations, they should probably stop using it, as it lost the depth of decades ago). At 12 hours, only the musk remains. It’s quite herbal and floral, with little sweetness (I didn’t notice the amber or tonka) and zero woods or fruits. It’s not very innovative, as some phases remind me of other fragrances. Using the entire sample, more than 1 ml, I got moderate sillage, well-perceptible but never heavy (the Azzaro Pour Homme is also an aromatic fougere, and that one definitely has heavy sillage, just so you understand). Longevity was good, over 12 hours, with the last traces right on the skin. For its type, it’s suited for spring and daytime use. The surname ‘Intense’ has once again become an empty word in modern perfumery, without meaning in this case.

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.

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.

Batch 2013. Recent blind buy. I don’t know if it’s normal since I haven’t compared it with another bottle, but the opening feels a bit strong and rough, with lots of alcohol. After 15 minutes, the magic begins. To my nose, it’s like Montblanc Legend but more floral, with the orange notes very present. Floral but masculine without a doubt. Ideal for the 20 to 40 age range, daily wear or office, spring, with a shirt. Projection and trail are moderate, longevity a bit above average. A rare fragrance to find in Argentina, but online I found the 50ml on sale for about $20. If it weren’t for the strong and ugly opening of my bottle, I wouldn’t hesitate to super recommend it. Update January 2023: Humor y Paz by Natura smells 90% the same, only Tous has better quality and longevity. EDIT 2025: Not worth it, 3/10.

I discovered this perfume in 2015 on a trip; I bought it as a gift for my father, but I liked it so much that I’m still using it 10 years later. It’s very versatile: office, walks, nightouts; people like it and it’s not annoying. Its evolution has changed; I remember it lasted over 8 hours on my skin back then, now it lasts but with less intensity. On clothes, it doesn’t change—if you wash it, it still smells when you iron the shirt. I give it 9/10 for being versatile and because it always brings me back to 2015. If you want to use it, I recommend it; it’s a good perfume that not only gets you compliments but makes you feel secure.

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.

Smells rich and sweet, but it’s quite generic; it reminds me of several fragrances. As @francisnatanael says, at first it recalls D&G Pour Homme and some Carolina Herrera, though I don’t remember which one. The base is classic: oakmoss, amber, tonka vanilla, and musk, which I’ve smelled in others like Calvin Klein Eternity or Beverly Hills Wings. It smells good, but I wouldn’t buy it unless it were at an irresistible price, since I already have that repeated formula. Ideal for daytime, family outings, and maybe the office.

Pity it’s an overlooked gem: fresh, pleasant lavender with good performance, ideal for the office as a personal scent. It has that classic lavender vibe like Burberry or DG, but it lacks the mint or tobacco touch that makes them more sensual; here, floral cleanliness with neroli and sage takes the lead. ‘Intense’ sounds like exaggeration, but if you know the family, you see that the classic Tous Men is more citrusy and simple, so the surname makes sense. For me, it’s a great reference point for its olfactive family.

Not much to say; you apply it and immediately, if you had the Dolce & Gabbana from the 90s, you identify it. A bit synthetic, but with good performance. With floral notes and a spicy base, it feels like a young ‘Scandalous’. It’s not sweet, citrusy, or woody, which takes you out of the monotony of ‘Invictus’ for a while. Does it feel old? Yes, but a young risk-taker who wants to stand out would dare. Smells clean, like a new item, fresh and freshly made. Scent 8, Longevity 8, Projection 7, Price 8.

Paid almost $100 and it was a disaster: it doesn’t last on the skin at all. I tried everything to make it stick, but nothing worked. I always buy designer scents, and none have ever failed me this badly; when I saw the bottle, I thought it was French, but it says ‘made in Spain’. My brother owns a 212 Man, which is also from Spain, and that one actually works, so I’m really upset. I tested it before and it did last, but then the store wouldn’t let me return it. Fatal experience.

Definitely worth it, a great purchase. Lasting power is very good: you apply it in the morning and still catch a whiff throughout the day, especially if it lands on your clothes. It’s not a seduction bomb, but it has a pleasant scent that makes you feel great; bright, clean, and perfect for heading to work or as a signature everyday fragrance. Excellent quality-to-price ratio, giving you access to a top-tier brand. A smart pick for your collection.

Pleasant aroma and not at all intrusive. Ideal for the office and enclosed spaces. Good performance compared to other scents from this brand I’ve tried. Overall, it’s a great fragrance for the price-to-quality ratio. The white florals combined with lavender give it a soapy, clean vibe, perhaps at the expense of the “attraction” factor other notes might provide. For everyday wear in an office or professional setting, it’s an excellent choice.

I happened to walk past a Tous leather store in the mall and saw the bottle in the window. I went in and at a stand there were several fragrances, this being the only masculine one. It immediately reminded me of a Jacques Bogart (I think it was Story Red, which isn’t on Fragrantica). It made a pleasant impression and I think I detected that neroli for the first time, which had always eluded me. Very youthful and clean. Recommended.

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.
