Club de Nuit Intense Man
The fragrance that put affordable Arabic houses on the global map. A smoky, fruity-chypre built on pineapple, blackcurrant, and birch — famed as a budget interpretation of a luxury icon, with monstrous projection.
Club de Nuit Intense Man opens on Pineapple and Blackcurrant, moves through Birch and Jasmine, and dries down to Musk and Vanilla. At $25 - $45 it is which makes it an easy budget pick, with very long lasting (10h - 14h) on skin. Sample before you commit — it is loud and polarising rather than crowd-safe.
