What Does Jimmy Choo Man Intense Smell Like?
This is a fruity, fresh, and warm fragrance. The first spray is the sweetest and freshest for the entire wear. Throughout the rest of the wear, a pop of spice keeps your interest.
In the end, it’s warm and rich.
It’s not like being wrapped in a blanket of warmth but rather comforting, similar to the warmth of Versace Dylan Blue, but not 100% the same.
The entire wear is interesting but simple. It smells like a fragrance for a guy who wants to grab and go without thinking twice.

Man Intense Performance
How Long Does Man Intense Last?
Six hours on the skin with moderate projection. Depending on the temperature, it may struggle, but I’ve always gotten average performance for the most part.
The scent bubble for the first hour and a half is light. After this, it is sitting close to the skin. This performance is all with five sprays.
When Should I Wear Jimmy Choo Man Intense?
In any season or occasion, on the hottest days of summer or the coldest days of winter, you’ll have to moderate your sprays accordingly.
The colder it gets, the more I find it struggles with the cold weather, even with more sprays. You’ll get ten months of wear if you live in a four-season climate.
There are better choices for special occasions, but this will still work. Man Intense’s cup of tea is casual and office wear.
Is Man Intense Likable?
Man Intense is likable mostly because it is so easy to wear. It helps that the projection is light to never overwhelm anyone.

Is Jimmy Choo Man Intense worth it?
The scent profile leans in the blue fragrance genre but has unique qualities – a plus.
Man Intense is a much better choice than the original Man. It takes an excellent scent profile and makes it last a bit longer to make it worth owning.
With that said, it’s not a fragrance so good you should overpay. If you’re asked to pay full price ($100ish), don’t. Get it on discounters for $30 – $40, and you have a great cologne.
Man Intense is an excellent cologne and an alluring one. Yet, don’t just limit yourself to Man Intense. Check out the best Jimmy Choo colognes.
