I have it: 456 I had it: 130 I want it: 423 My signature: 9
At the end of August 2013Yves Saint Laurent will offer another version of the original fragrance L'Homme from 2006. The first fragrance was succeeded by several different versions, most of which were created for warm days. As contrast to fragrances L'Homme L'Eau d'Ete, Cologne Gingembre, LIbre or L'Homme Tonic launched this year, Yves Saint Laurent announces a more intense L'HOMME PARFUM INTENSE.
The new perfume, L'Homme Parfum Intense will announce the fall collection by YSL. The warmer and more intense composition is signed by perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, created of a blend of citruses, spices, woody and floral notes. The perfume opens with lemon, bergamot and black pepper. Heart of the composition is highlighted with orange blossom and Indian davana blossom (artemisia), along with woody accords and ambergris in drydown.
The fragrance arrives in a flacon shaped like previous editions with hexagonal stopper made of silver metal, differing in color of liquid, which is colored in warm amber shade this time. YSL L'Homme Parfum Intense will be available as 60 and 100ml.

Sweet white floral. Yes. Sweet white floral. This is unisex. Heck, this could be feminine as well but it does smell good. Really good. Like.
Holly sweetness. This thing is really sweet. Almost too sweet. Somewhere buried deep in that sweetness the original homme dna awaits quietly. Boozy sweetness to be more precise. Ladies love it but it might be because a lot of girls perfumes are very sweet also. For me it only lasts about 2 hours.
Times: autumn, winter , night time mostly
Places and reasons: club, short evening date, dinner party
My third favorite in the L'Homme line.... If you are looking for a stronger version of L'Homme you'll probably be disappointed, this scent goes in a different direction.
However the scent is awesome, performance could be better though.
Originally, I really liked this. I thought it was dark and woody and sweet, but wearing it again today, I'm not sure that I like it as much as I did originally. Today, the ambergris is really standing out to me, much in the manner that the ambroxan does in Dior Sauvage, but I'm finding I don't enjoy large doses of ambergris.
Performance is acceptable I suppose. EDP's don't typically do well on my skin for some reason, however L'Homme Ultime is the one exception, lasting 9+ hours. This on the other hand, does not perform as well as Ultime. This lasts 5-6 hours maybe? But that seems to be the consensus from others as well.
I think the key to liking this scent is being in the mood for it, but it's a little hard to classify, and for that reason, a little hard to choose to wear. It's a bit L'Homme, a bit Dior Sauvage, a bit Versace Dylan Blue, a bit 1 Million or Paco Rabanne sweetness, and overall, a bit mysterious. I like the mysterious aspect of it. It sometimes reminds me of Gonesh brand incense, which is nice, but I think the ambergris is just a bit too heavy in the beginning for me to enjoy this one as much as I could. The dry down at the 3 hour mark is amazing, but by that time, it's not projecting very far.
If you love this one, I won't judge you one bit! It's pleasant, don't get me wrong, but for me, this scent just goes in too many directions.
Spent the night with a man who wore this...
Mmmmmm! Amber-y and woody goodness.
I would describe this as the little brother to Christian Dior Homme Parfum. Less of a woody scent and more on the sweeter side if thats what you're into. I tried wearing it during the summer and it made me nauseous, but during the colder months it worked out great. I wouldn't spray more than 4-5 times in one setting. (It can be overwhelming). Not my favorites among the YSL Homme releases, but still a good fragrance.

This was a killer.
I got to know this great scent at the airport Duty Free by a very kind young girl seller who gave me some good advice.
My personal opinion is that you got to know your skin and favorite smells (ingredients) and actively ask for feedback from people around you.
I personally go for the scents that I feel and like to smell the whole day!
By first impression of a spray, you get a lot of Ambergris and orange blossom with a light citrus, violet leafy background with a pleasant soft suede leathery accompaniment!
Highly recommended for fall and it is a sweet, clear masculine scent with slightly feminine characteristics!
The only issue with it that after a couple of hours it turns to a skin scent with a weak projection!
In general on my skin:

Sickly sweet. Very, very strong synthetic orange and some ambergris is all I ever got from this fragrance. One of the biggest dislikes and dissapointments, since the YSL house is one of my favorites, right up there with Dior.
Unisex at best
Key players being Ambergris and Orange blossom, this is great scent for colder days, similar to Diesel Fuel for Life Spirit - 8/10
smells nothing like the original at all. Not bad but lacks power. Parfum? I don't think so. If it had parfum power I would probably purchase. I already own the original and that is weak enough
This fragrance smells really sweet and nice, nothing like the original. On my skin it does not last very long at all, 4 hours at max with 1 hour projection. very disappointing.
I got a compliment by a male barista when I was paying for my coffee. He asked me the name of the perfume because I "smelled good".
If you spray this fragrance on your hand and smell it closely, you won't like it! What you have to do is to smell it from a distance to enjoy it. The notes make this perfume smell very pleasing, sweet, warm, comforting and elegant.
To me, this flanker is like the day version of La Nuit De L'homme

I must of tried 20 different fragrances in the airport before I decided on this one ..bearing in mind I had nose fatigue and sort of made my mind up on another fragrance I was going to buy. I tried this and straight away the class and elegance stood out a mile. I get a very sweet feminine amber ..slight leather and the faintest of tabacco ..like a miliscule but mainly sweet luxury.I won't lie and find it difficult to say but I do get a one million similarity but it's only a similarity ..this fragrance is like one million in a tuxedo. Performs fantastically on my skin and I have skin that eats fragrance ..I get 7 hours at least
I tried this at Ysl stall and on me it's a very sweet gourmand perfume. I can smell the citrus mixed with flowers at the top, the middle and base notes are not very distinguishable and they are mainly formed of florals, and plenty of abrogate and a lot of soft refined leather, very unlike the leather in TL for example. I can also smell woody aroma that mixes with ambergris and leather.
It's a complex perfume and I appreciate it, but I don't like very sweet perfumes for men. The ambergris here kills it for me, I would consider it if it had less sweet smell in the main body of perfume.
It has very good sillage and longevity, unlike the rest of l'homme line.
I can understand why people compare this to 1 million, it's because of the gourmand class they are both in, but they do smell quite different.
One tip here, this perfume really smells better on smokers, as the smoke balances the gourmand nicely (remember smoking is bad for your health! )
I liked the sample I bought a 100ml on eBay. Ambergris and Orange blossom are the main notes its fresh and i get a soapy feel.With people complaining how YSL is watering down the Lhomme line,this one is, indeed intense.One spray on the back of my hand, its still there and can smell it from a far.This is a winner for me and it should have been its own fragrance and not a "flanker".
Scent:4/5(first time smelling ambergris and now my favorite)
Longevity:5/5(compared to YSL L'homme new reformulation)
Projection:5/5(5 sprays and its beast-mode)
I have to vehemently disagree with everyone who says this smells like PB 1mil (also why do so many people say that SO many scents smell like 1mil!!??) it doesn't. It reminds me a lot of Jimmy Choo man or even Givenchy Pi.
It's sweet and resinous and I have literally never worn it out without getting a compliment from a total stranger. Yes the projection leaves something to be desired but the longevity is very nice and the scent stays pretty linear which is fine for me since the scent is so nice.
If you like Givenchy Pi or Jimmy Choo man or Dolce and Gabanna the one: you will probably love this.
This smells nice, fresh, citrusy but not much projection or longevity. As the Ad shows, you wear this when dressed up.

60% night/ 40% day fragrance

I was recently on a long flight to LA. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who can't sleep on planes at all so I spent a lot of time standing up near the emergency door to pass the time. This particular steward kept walking up and down the aisle and every time he did I got a whiff of the most amazing scent i have ever smelled on another man. Eventually I stopped him and asked what it was. Naturally, he looked at me as if I was insane and told me it was YSL - "the perfume one". The next day I went straight to Macy's and there it was. I took one sniff and was overwhelmed by a plastic, sickly mess that was only vaguely similar to the scent on the plane.
Someone once said to me that you should never meet your idols because you'll only be disappointed. I wish I hadn't asked what this fragrance was. The mystery of never knowing would have made the memory of this scent so much more enjoyable.
Just got a 60 ml bottle of this and I am lost for words. This has to be THE BEST scent I have ever smelt. It is such a warm and comforting scent that has brilliant longevity and projection. I sprayed the original on to a test strip and although it smelt nice, it started to fade pretty rapidly, I then sprayed this and I must say it smells completely different to the original, it is a much better smelling scent and it has the staying power and the projection to go with it. I am tempted to go and buy another bigger bottle before ysl reformulate it and ruin it like they do with all their other fragrances. Class in a glass 10/10 A+++++
i could bathe in this ,and would probably need to to make it last ,but just hit it heavy ,in my top 5. for me a true gem hope they dont stop making it or will have to buy a couple of litres .and smells nothing like diesel fuel for life ,which i bought and sold on .
Lovely lovely lovely!! This one BEGs to be layered with Aventus!
EDIT # 3 on this fragrance, simply crazy! Wouldn't you know this WAS my least liked fragrance in my collection and its the one that gets most compliments when i wear it - go figure! It is now my signature scent!
i loved it at first but fell out of love quickly and now love it again, though i had to add the fact that it gets a compliment every time i wore it, crazy!
Strong, almost whoa what's going on blast of orange blossom sharp and intense opening, but once the dust settles a very sweet, albeit not cloyingly delicious fragrance emerges. I get a slight apple pie-ish accord, with a tad of play-doh in the background.
You definitely get a slight musky vibe in the dry down, but definitely a very grown-up, not candy sweet fragrance.
overall I give this a strong 9/10.
I have heard people bashing this fragrance from Youtube to even comments on here. People put la nuit above this and I'm glad they do - that way they can smell like every other guy does with all the hype around that, while i enjoy my delicious parfum intense all by myself!
I better hoarde this before the reformulations strike, as they usually do.
How could anyone not love this, or at the very least not even like it??? I don't know that you could get more un-audaciously, yet unabashedly sophisticated than this. I would normally say "in my opinion" when analyzing something so subjective in nature as fragrance, but I'm pretty sure my opinion doesn't matter on this one. Truth be told, it's just objectively a far better version of D&G's 'The One', regardless of my opinion.
As many may think this is a flanker of the original, it's not.
Yves never published this as a flanker, but as a intense new fragrance, and that's what it is,
Although adding more and more without ever actually improving the fragrance makes me understand why people get annoyed by such Popular Brands.
About the scent.
It's rich, sweet and smells like a full Woody leather energy fragrance.
I like it.
Were here to review the fragrance, not to review the company which many are doing lately on Yves Saint Laurent.
So instead of commentary on company let's start the rating.
Scent 8.4/10
I love the scent, somehow a uber sweet orange blossom start, dries down in a more interesting leathery Cedar Woody scent.
Feels like luxurious manliness.
Longevity 6.5/10
They call it a eau de parfum, but it acts more like a eau de toilette.
With this concentration it has a hard time reaching the 6 hours Threshold.
That's a shame for such a beautiful product.
Projection/sillage 6.3/10
Same story, if they said it was a eau de toilette, I would rate it higher.
Pricing 6.1/10
Too bad for a popular brand, they price it as such.
And for shortcomings in its performance I cannot rate it any higher.
Overall Rating 6.9/10
Price/performance/marketing you get the story.
Nevertheless I am still very happy that I added this fragrance to my collection.
For me it's so extremely disappointing and annoying that nowadays they (producing companies and their marketing team) have the "guts" to release a perfume product titled as 'Parfum Intense' (which suggests highly concentrated formula, extraordinary strong, very intense and extra long lasting) that is not even more intense or longer lasting than an average eau de toilette!
Really? Parfum? Intense? Parfum Intense?
Even my (Eau de Toilette) Chanel Egoiste or Joop Homme or Opium PH etc. is stonger than this, projects better and lasts longer than this 'Parfum Intense'. This is a joke!
I'm furious (for such bald lie and making us fools by such titles)!
And 1 more thing: Why call it with a name that is flanker of an existing (and popular) fragrance when it has nothing, really nothing to do with the original creation?
If anyone blind tested YSL L'homme and Parfum intense together, no one would ever say that they are related at all.
The notes work with the amber so well leaving such an amazing scent...I will be buying this for my future husband!
It does not hold even 3 hours On my skin
I purchased this for my husband, and knew right away it was worthy of a proper review.
This is the olfactory equivalent of sipping a really smooth cognac. Not because they smell the same, but because of how smoothly and well crafted this blend is.
YSL L'Homme Parfum Intense is a very sophisticated soft spicy blend that effectively expresses that a man's fragrance can really be something sumptuous. It smells expensive, but approachable, and the base of amber and woods show up pretty quickly but never in an emboldened or overly heavy way. Thankfully the pepper is gone near immediately, and it starts to become clear that emphasis in this fragrance is on the quality. There is a subtle sweetness in this mixture, nothing overt, just really nice. This is one of the first colognes that pulled me in to learn about one of it's more mysterious notes...Ambergris. I'll admit I was fascinated learning about it. Just one more reason scent is always more complex than we give it credit for. Overall, this is very well done men's fragrance that lingers in the sensual, and is a round, classy, pleasing aroma. Great scent, and surprisingly good lasting power.
Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 6+ Hours....Really!
another decent selection from the house of YSL
if your looking for a good winter scent that wont break the bank and smells like it should cost above its price range then this is the scent for you!
its defiantly a designer/department store scent but its been refined by the house to standout a little more then the rest
the opening is very sweet and i can see where some may say its heady but as long as you dont over spray you should live to see tomorrow :)
projection is good at the start but after a few hours it does become a skin scent on me as for longevity its average to above average
all in all the sweet apple vibe you get from this followed by the spicy woodsy accords make this a very playful scent and one that should defiantly be explored even tho i personally dont find this bottle worthy for my taste it still deserves a test run
on to the next
ps if i had to pick a YSL scent it would have to be La Nuit De L'Homme
I love this fragrance, my nose isn't trained well enough to pick out particular scents, but i would describe it as a sweet and light woody aroma, but not a sickly one. It has overtaken Ralph Lauren's Original Polo as my favourite fragrance.
I own the full bottle of this and like it, for certain occasions. This is definitely a "department store" juice. At first blast, it's a little headachey for those who react that way to synthetics. Definitely a sweet perfume, could see it working on a woman, but it is primarily masculine--for some reason, maybe the woodiness. The orange blossom supported by the artemesia and lemon is quite persistent on me, which is a bit weird, since I was going for the more animalic and woody tones. When I tested, those came up immediately, with something like the smell of apple and cinnamon. But what lasts on me are the herbal and citrus tones, even on the drydown. The ambergris must be synthetic, because it doesn't stick to me. Sillage is medium, but the scent lasts well on me for at least four hours. Not bad, but I think a little conventional for me--I find myself liking the niche blends more and more. Definitely a cold night fragrance for me because of the unexpected apple and cinnamon notes.
I love this fragrance. It is sweet and not very strong, almost feminine, in fact a lot of people consider it unisex (and when I had it my sister used it too). It has, however, some defects: it's not very long-lasting (at least on my skin), and the sillage is below average. Definitely a winter fragrance, I would recommend it to who likes soft but great-smelling, even if not very long lasting, fragrances.
I prefer this one to the original l'homme. The original has a sharp edge (at least on my skin) that is on the verge to headache inducing for me. This one is smoother and works a lot better on me.
It is a sweet perfume for sure. It opens with a fresh, and sweet combination of orange blossoms and fruitiness, with a slight spiciness somewhere in the background.
In the transition from top to heartnotes there is a slight dissonance for my nose, and this is the only part of the fragrance that I don't love, the good thing is that it only last for 15-30 minutes, and is only really evident if you smell it close, the whiffs that come at you are still the fresh opening notes.
After the weirdness that happens in the transition the fragrance goes a bit warmer, some woods and mild spices emerge, and the sweetness subsides a little and is more of an ambery sweetness.
The drydown is a nice warm sweet, ambery, slightly woody, and spicy smell. That for me is not boring in any way, I just love to sniff it again and again throughout the day as it is a complex concoction.
Sillage is medium on me, just where I want it :)
Longevity, it projects for about 4-5 hours, and lasts for about 10h as a close encounters scent.
My go to when I want a sweet fragrance!
Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Parfum Intense is done for a man who has natural Charisma, Sensuality and Magnetism.
A natural sensuality which reflects a mysterious and bright inner richness. The fragrance represents the power of attraction of a man with a unique style. He is both charismatic, seductive, audacious and full of contrasts.
Notes: Cedrat and Bergamot from Italie, White Pepper from Madagascar, Orange Blossom from Tunisia, Violet Leaf from Egypt, Davana Essence of India, Viginian Cedar, Suede Accord, Benzoin resin.
Rating: 10/10
Parfum Intense L'homme has little in common with the regular version of L'homme from the first application it felt a little powdered version and more formal and elegant too and it seems to me somewhat in the style of Hugo Boss Bottled (I am not saying that smell like or equal). The classification of woody oriental seems very successful. From beginning smell citrus but not fresh but dusty and ambered way, Fragrantica says it contains ambergris this component is not common in modern perfumes and has been replaced by the ambroxan produced synthetically and creates a similar odor of ambergris and serves as a fixative. Passed just over three hours begins to resemble L'homme with a woody, spicy aroma, but low flush skin very early. In my skin I lasted a little over 6 hrs., But I had to approach the skin to smell, otherwise no trace of her scent.
I would use it more at night than in the day, but the truth I prefer its regular version, because it is more versatile.
This is one of the few best sweet scents. Who however say what, im love in winter with this scent.
Güzel parfüm, boğmayan ve sıkmayan bir koku. Özellikle soguk havalarda max performans elde edersiniz. Yazın bir esprisi yok. Şişesi alınabilecek bir parfüm.

I've had the original since the start of Summer and have been keen to try this and the sports. Erosion as I absolutely adore the original.
Upon first spray, sure, you bet a stronger, 'intense' version of the original, that much is true. It's heavier wearing, lasts longer, and projects more. I guess, everything you'd expect from the 'intense' version. However, after one hour, the scent is a little acrid (burnt?) and talcy.
5 hours later the scent is still on the tester strip but is a strong talc, bergamot, jasmine mix. Ambergris that folk voted for I'm not getting, at least, not prominently.
Me? I prefer the original way more. The talcy dry down is not for me, much the same way D&G's The One Intenso in that respect. Not sure what's with the talc vibe to be honest, but I prefer the lighter subtleties and ginger / jasmine / bergamot mix of plain ole l'homme. :)
Noooooo no no. This smells horrible. I'd rather take a good smelling hair spay and spay it all over me bc this smells like cheap hairspray.
The original homme is a masterpiece and is always going to be in my 300 bottle collection. This no. I see what they TRIED to do, but they failed. This is not a scent to make intense version of. As you will see. sAMPLE before you buy. Nothing like the original at alllll.

Recommend NO!
Yes! At long last I have it!!!! This juice is sexy, alluring, magnetic, comforting and all around pleasant! I primarily get apple and Amber with some woods out of this. It's very sweet with a touch of freshness. It's kind of the opposite of the original l'homme. You still get Apple, lemon and woodiness with a touch of floral just like the original but the original was fresher with a touch of sweetness where as this parfumerie has the same notes but is sweeter with a touch of freshness. They flip flopped it on us.
The parfum intense reminds me somewhat of a cheaper alternative. Guess Seductive Homme.
Both colognes get compared to 1 million because they're sweet. Neither one of them smells at all like 1 million. 1 million is stronger than both of these. I'm not here to compare L'homme parfum intense to either one but yes they are all sweet.
L'homme parfum intense gets a lot of compliments from ladies. Check this story out.
I'm at the mall and ask to sample this on a strip. The girl at the perfume counter sprays it for me and a random woman walks by and stops in her tracks. She asks me what I just sprayed. Then she runs and grabs her husband, drags him back to the perfume counter and makes him buy it. I couldn't believe my eyes or my nose. This stuff is so good that yeah, that just happened.
The same thing happened to me at the same mall in a different store. I sprayed the original l'homme and an attractive mother and a very attractive daughter walked past me and stopped to tell me that whatever I just sprayed was "gooood!" Lol
YSL, you rock!!!!
Fragrances tend to get eaten alive on my skin,so you'd hope it being a "parfum" Wed get some lasting power here. It is a beautiful scent, don't get me wrong, but its gone in the blink of an eye. I mean, I have to snort my own skin to find this after a couple of hours. The opening is sweet, honeysuckle like and reminds of diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, a fruity almost grape note is prominent. Just as you start to get into it, POOF!!!!! it goes David Copperfield on you, and a team of dogs couldn't find a trace of this if you bibed them with ribeyes.
Bad trend now: companies are releasing parfums that are weaker than their edt counterparts (I love bleu de chanel parfum though). So you wind up paying more to get less. If I doise myself on this on a hot summer day I'll get some longevity...oh wait it was 94 degrees today, so there goes that theory. Blind bought and won't buy again at this point, although i will keep wearing this to see if this changes my mind.
Edit: After wearing this for a few weeks, projection has gotten better (although still not great, you have to apply a lot) as if the fragrance needed some oxygen introduced to wake it up. I really enjoy this, I've picked up on its animalic qualities in the dry down, and I love the versatility. An extremely classy warm weather scent, a must have in my collection. At this point I will now purchase the original homme, as I have and love all the flankers, minus sport. LA nuit is still my favorite of the bunch but parfum intense is quite good indeed!
This is class in glass. My lady friends like it a lot! I love it. Sweet with ambergris from start to finish. A bit linear but that's okay because it's a beautiful line. My only complaint is the longevity, I only get 4 hours tops and it's an edp??? Made for the evening in any season,any occasion. My favorite from ysl by a mile.
I sprayed some of this L'Homme Parfum Intense on a tester strip to check it out, so this is my first impression.. L'Homme Parfum Intense opens up very bright but very sweet.. The citrus notes brighten this scent without making it smell to citrusy if that makes sense.. The pepper and other spices give a bit of a spicy kick to this scent, I am not sure if there is cumin in there somewhere but I smell something that smells a lot like cumin.. There is a nice sweet floral orange blossom note in the heart, but the main player in this fragrance is a nice strong sweet ambergris.. There are also some wild woody notes in the base to ground the scent.. L'Homme Parfum Intense is very different from the original L'Homme, they do not have much in common.. In fact I would say that L'Homme Parfum Intense has a lot more in common with Paco Rabbana 1 Million but I think I actually prefer L'Homme Parfum Intense because it is not as over the top sweet.. L'Homme Parfum Intense is a decent pleasant fragrance, it is nothing unique or groundbreaking but I am sure it has some fans out there..
I like this. It's very sweet and fruity with a powdery background that gives is some complexity. It's a statement scent whose message isn't subtle at all and would best be worn in an intimate environment rather than at the at the office where I would only use it very sparingly. It remains close to the skin after a short while and that's probably as it should be.
More of a dessert than a main course, it might be used to best effect at night.
I first sprayed the orginal L'homme a few days back. For some weird reason, I thought it was too sharp and it gave me a headache. Now imagine my surprise when I smelled this, the Intense version and found it to be absolutely stunning (not sure how that's possibe given that the softer sibling gfave me a headache!?) I feel this one is ten times what the original fragrance is, it is rather well blended and for a designer. Almost Niche in quality!
This starts of with a blast of what I can only describe as "apple" essence, seriously it smells like a ninja slicing 30 apples with one swift swoosh of his sword - it is rather delicious!
Midnotes are leathery/suede-ish, with just a hint of Orangeblossom. Soft, elegant and smooth.
The basenotes are just plain delicious. There is something warm, delightfully musky in the Ambergris. It is sweet, though not by any means cloying, has this somewhat incense tinge to it, but more on the gourmand side - sweet and soft yet still bold and intense. I LOVE IT!
I give this one a 10/10, it is a masterpiece!
lovely smell of ginger woody notes and orange blossum in the background considering its called "intense" its performance doesnt match its name longevity is moderate and sillage the same but having said that i love this fragrance.
the moderate performance means it can be used anytime in any situation without fearing swamping those nearby.suitable for work or as a date fragrance
Tested this beauty today. My arm is a magnet to my nose. It's scent continues to attract me. It's been about 3 hours and it's evolved into a spicy almost oriental scent. I want this but it's a bit expensive and I have plenty of fragrances to spend time with already.
This smells nothing like L'Homme. When I purchased a sample vial of this, I thought I was buying a stronger version of L'Homme. They are two different fragrances. I agree with everyone who has disliked this one. It's not L'Homme and the scent is not as good. It has an odd plastic sweetness to it. No thank you. L'Homme projects better to boot.
Take the part of 1 Million that everyone hates -- the sticky bubble gum stench. Amplify it, and you have this.
Fuel For Life Spirit is a much better composition. They pretty much smell the same but the Diesel has much better performance and is cheaper. I have no idea why YSL released this as it feels like it's unfinished. I guess the perfumers were on a tight budget with this and did not have a chance to utilize his/hers full potential.
Not seeing any thing sexy in it...Little brother of I Million smells to me. Not a Fan of sweet Bombs..Pass big time for me. Dont wanted to look back.
Smells like mfk apom homme and gaultier 2 without the vanilla.
So is the longevity not good? i want to confirm before spending 89 Euros for 100ml.
I really like this smell.
Sweet and sexy. Unfortunately it lacks in longevity and projection.
I used to own it but a coworker that I really dislike started wearing it. Too much of it. Reapplying every hour or so... no need to say I can not stand this smell since then and ended up giving him what was left of my bottle... Damn you, smell association!
I can't see why people's reviews are offensive on this one.. I mean really. it is like heaven! delicious, sexy and VERY unique, plus I haven't found any similarities to it..
It is not only my opinion though, cause I received many complements wearing it.
It is a sweet powdery scent so if you hate the likes of these then it is not for you, recommended for those who love Dior Homme.
The only problem is with its longevity, it is meant to be INTENSE but believe me when I say IT ISN'T.
The first hour : --- HEAVEN ! ^_^
The second hour : --- Noticeable :)
The third hour : --- close to the skin :/

I see it suitable for all seasons.
I wish if human beings' sweat smelt this good HEHEHE.
This scent might have been the good one only if the performence was not so weak, its still much better then the edt but weak..i have 100 ml and a 60ml both in a ltd edition gift pack i got from my bro, so waiting for summers as in winters this cant stand. I dont know why ppl comparing it with 1 million, its better with elegance and class but again the weak performance is a huge blow to this one.For me the first 20 mins to half hour its more like D n G pour homme the vintage version and after that a weak skin scent for 3-4 hours.
@ ScentPanther you on LSD and crystal myth?
I made a rookies mistake with this Parfum. The initial top notes and middle notes are very good but the dry down is synthetic and totally lacking. Sorry, but it's going back to whence it came!
I tried the eau de toilette and i wasn't that impressed.
I sprayed this on my hand and on some paper and I've found it really different, it turned a bit sweet on me but I still like it.
Persistance is excellent and so the projection.
Definitely a next buy
is there a better valentines day than sniffing the whole perfume store in the afternoon :)
today i ran into this and the first thing what came to my mind were comments on this site....when you read what people here write you think they know things better than you do so when you see a scent that is disliked on fragrantica it creates a certain stereotype BUT the reality is totally different...
WHY WOULD ANYBODY DISLIKE THIS!...this is a dream from the opening to the end...it's warm and feels classy but at the same time like a party ready scent...simply amazing
next time spray, sniff, wait for a minute and then sniff again.....a lot of people spray and sniff and trow away.....you need to listen to your moms and grandmas, they always said to me: wait a few minutes :) give everything a second chance
Hard to believe there would even be one single person who would dislike this. I think it is the best of the run for that counter. Bought a 200 ml bottle because it is yummy stuff. I think in time this will exceed the rest of the line for YSL. Watch out bitches.
Événement better than the original which i already loved!!!!!!
L'Homme Parfum Intense is a real woody sweet oriental scent. An incredible and unique sweet masculine aroma, combination of woody notes, at the drying down process I get something sweet and beautiful, I guess ambergris. Deep, vivid and strong for the first 3-3.5 hours, after that it becomes a little weak but still noticeable. It reminds me the 1 million by paco rabanne and like Invictus but it is different, tastier, more mature and sophisticated. I think is perfect for winter, autumn and spring if you have cool days. The sillage is and the longevity are good, about 5-6 hours. I like it.
This parfum Intense gave me nosegasm. Basically I was testing a lot of perfumes in the store and I came across this beauty. I was keep smelling it and smelling it. It was clearly the amber. Damn such a magnificent smell. I don't know why but it reminded me of wine smell.
I was very impressed with you, so i went online and checked details about this such as smell, longevity silage. What I got out of it based on longevity/silage/smell ( on me and reviews)
SMELL: 10/10 I really love it.
Longevity: It was long lasting, around 4-5H on my skin.
Silage: I tested this on my friend as well and i was sitting right next to him but i couldn't detect anything. I had to get really really close to smell it, so I'm disappointed.
overall 9/10.
I really love the smell but i can't get it because of weak silage :(
A perfume without preferable silage Is like you did a good thing but no one saw you...
Parfum Intense has a nice balance of amber, spice, and citrus, but it is quite feminine.
Got the sample today. It smells similar to 1 million by paco rabanne only stronger. It's an amazing scent with good longevity. Prefer this on winter or night out scent. This is probably my second favorite scent on ysl because of the quality and the price for the parfum. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for partum that is not overpriced. With good longevity and silage this a bang for your buck.
Tested out in Dillards. Sprayed ontop of my hand and went home. 2.5 hrs later...it was gone. Poor longevity. Scent is amazing
A masterpiece from YSL. Very unique, great longevity, great projection. Stayed on the testing strip for days really. Pleasing scent such as the original L'Homme. Worth a try.
Smell: 10/10
Longevity: 10/10
Projection: 9/10
My overall rating: 9/10
Good fragrance! I own a sample Pretty similar to 1 million. the juice is powerful, the scent is pretty linear
Good sillage and longevity, even in heavy sweat while dancing in club.but I will not buy in full size. I strongly prefer 1 million to this because of its complexity
A bit sweeter and brighter than the La Nuit De L'homme.
The pepper is amazing really. you'd never expect that from pepper.
Reminds me of Dior Homme Intense, for that powdery, sweet, expensive perfume note that lingers at the end.
Longevity is great.
Sillage is great, and gets compliments frequently.
If you're a dandy guy.
my impressions of this parfum version of lhomme. I sampled and wore this 3x now and ill be honest this is not better than the original version the original is strikingly unique and at first spray you will fell in love with it. I hardly tried to feel the same way with this parfum version but as hard as I can I really cant justify it. It didn't strike me as the original i get longevity of 7 hours max sillage moderate at best but mostly skin scent past 2 hours. I do get the citrus openings but I really cant find or detect the woodiness at the base and the price?? its just un justifiable very weak for a parfum IMO. Why not make the original thicker?? rather than making a flanker that does not relate of the original my recommendation TRY IT FIRST don't blind buy in the hopes that youre getting a better perfume than the original cause your not.
ScentPanther dude just read your profile,man you are sick...!!take rest
Why the disgruntled comments about Scentpanthers post? Scent awakens yours memories:) with the females, we are always sharing our intimate perfume stories, it's only natural, that's the beauty of fragrance. What I don't like is posts like I don't like it...etc one line reviews, pointless, there's no substance to those ones:/ I think his post is poetic and 10 000xs better than 'this ones a panty dropper', gross, made me feel ill writing that...
Update: Ok, so I just looked at his profile and other reviews, he's a storyteller, that doesn't mean he's wrong, look at all his balloons, not everyone's tastes, but still a nice change from the politically correct and mundane.
In my opinion, his is one of the nicest mens perfume there is. My boyfriend has it, and I think it smells so sexy. It is a perfect balance between masculine, soft, spicy and a little sweet. To me (or should I say, on him) it is more amber-peppery-sweet than citrus, which I think is good because too much citrus stings my nose. Would highly recommend this if it works well with your skin chemistry!
How come I can't find this ANYWEAR? Beall's, Dillard's, Macy's, and Drug Emporium doesn't have this in stock. They actually never even HEARD of this one. What's the deal??
Every time I want to sell this or give it away, I smell it and realize it's pretty good.
Someone commented below that this reminds them of 1 million. I would agree. While I don't like 1 Million because it just comes across to me as too loud and smells (don't get insulted if you like 1 Million) a bit 'cheesy'....this has some of the same qualities but is more elegant and refined in what it does.
I'm going to wear this stuff in the fall!
Smelled some of this in sephora today. Loved it and I love orange blossom so this one would be perfect for me.
I recently got a bottle and this is really potent stuff.
I can see why many seem to associate it with Diesel's Fuel For Life Spirit, but If they are related at all - they are cousins. This is much better blended and less Brash, or shall I say more ''Refined''
As I never actually used the original L'homme, I can not say how similar it is to that, but this Juice is really good in its own right.
Projection and Silage are incredible. A few sprays (2-3) last the entire day, and additional spray on my shirt makes the already good projection even better.
The only caveat, if any - is that it is a rather ''familiar'' scent for lots of people, so for those who are looking for unusual smells, you might wanna pass this one.
I shan't do a notes breakdown, message to remember is that this is a versatile, well-blended, sweet, warm, sophisticated scent with solid performance.
Worth a try!
Smells almost identical to PR-Invictus and a lot like 1 million intense!
To me this smells like the signature creed ambergris drydowm, ALOT. I'm surprised this hasn't really been commented on. That being said it's a nice soft clean scent. Good for casual days. In general I like it very much. It shouldn't be called intense in any way though.
It's nice but what a disappointment it has zero presence, disappeared off my skin after about 30 mins, rip off.
I enjoy the opening...almost like bubblegum but after 10 minutes this transform into ysl la nuit
The scent is redolent of low tide at high noon.
ScentPanther, please stop bogartin' that blunt.
Now, i really wanted to like YSL L'homme. i ''like'' it, but its so light going, i often cant really smell it after 20-30 minutes.. so when i tried LHPI it's basically just what i wanted the original L'homme to be. a stronger version of the original..
To be honest, I don't know what this smells like, I've never smelled it, but I do know one thing from reading these reviews, some of you people are writing stories instead of actual reviews, you old men need lives lmao
I was excited to test this. I am a fan of lhomme and la Nuit de lhomme. Sadly, this didn't work for me and my chemistry. It started off with a very strong blast of pepper along with a boozy, whiskey-like smell. For me, that's it. This same aroma gradually got lighter until it faded after 3hrs. Didn't agree with my taste at all. Props to those who enjoy it. For me, when I want oranges, spice and amber, I will stick with The One or Allure.
Top Notes: Citron and Italian Bergamot, White Pepper from Madagascar.
Middle Notes: Orange Blossom Tunisia, Egypt Violet Leaf, Essence of India Davana.
Base Notes: Virginia Cedar, Suede Accord, benzoin resin.
magnetic elegant fragrance, sensual, sophisticated and sustainable
Beautiful parfum.. this is intense,very elegant,amber/sweet. To the right place! I love sweet scents, and this Yves Saint Laurent really surprised me! I Love!.
Sillage : 7/10
Longevity : 8/10
Scent : 9.5/10
Overall : 9/10
First let me say that ScentPanther below is smoking some major dope. LOL!
Now, as a fan of ambergris I really enjoy this fragrance. I do totally understand how this would not be for everyone though. The only real problem I had with this fragrance was the longevity and projection. Both were horrible on me. This fragrance is also a little on the expensive side as well, which has ultimately stopped me from buying a bottle.
@moftahyounis I totally agree,it's almost similar to 1 million intense version!
It depends on your preference, but personally I don't think men should wear sweet smells like this. It's definitely uni-sex, and it makes you smell like a candy factory in a way that reminds me of one million. It also makes me naseuous when I wore it - I would get little wiffs throughout the day and it would flip my stomach with how sweet it was.
Try it on your skin before you purchase it. I bought it based on how much I liked the card and how my girlfriend thought it smelled like vanilla coke, but after wearimg it and being exposed to it for longer than 15 seconds we both agreed it was a bad purchase.
What the heck did I just read below
I once met a woman in Belgium named Veronica. She favored a peach sundress and sweet red wine. Once she baked me a pastry of sorts, and though she was homely, the way she smiled at me as she offered me a taste was a thing of true beauty.
The pastry however was disappointing, as she had bought it from the freezer section of a grocery store and followed the instructions poorly while baking it. There was some flavor to it, but the dough was still raw in spots. I ate it graciously, as it was given in kindness, but the sweet wine could not wash the displeasure of the incident away.
L'Homme Parfum Intense is deeply orange in color, and as I stare through it at the grey skies, I am reminded of her hair.
A better blended and nicer balance of brashness when compared to Diesel's Fuel For Life Spirit and Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Intense. You know what you are getting with this; power, longevity and sillage that recalls the mid 1980's and will last an entire weekend with more than four sprays. You also know you are going to get more than your fair share of synthetics, but this one is better at masking that side of itself where Diesel Fuel For Life Spirit falls flat on its face in a pool of droning chemicals. I have tested this frequently, already owning Spirit and objectively, there isn't a comparison to be made as far as quality. YSL's L'Homme Intense is much better juice with a far more rewarding scent and evolution and can be worn and enjoyed by a much wider audience, including the more experienced nose that is usually repulsed by such chemical aggressiveness.
This one is mostly targeted at the younger clubbing crowd, but unlike the others already mentioned, YSL's L'Homme Intense has more of a standard appeal to it and really shines if you go easy at two sprays. This is far more mature and well-balanced than almost everything else in its category and it's worth stopping at the perfume counter to drop a couple drops on your skin and enjoy the evolution of this and discover for yourself this has a good deal of complexity and makes for a very vivacious and high-energy wear. Intense has fantastic longevity, over 10 hours easily and projection is very loud but can be contained if you keep it to one spray on the wrist and one on the chest. Because of its potency, wait to spray on the neck until you are comfortable with this scent. Diesel's Fuel For Life Spirit is being compared to this and I agree these are both trying to do the same thing (I'm a huge Diesel loyalist, but let's get real) but YSL's L'Homme Intense is a much much better crafted juice with far more evolution, sophistication and appeal. If you are faced with having to buy one of the two, you would be much better served picking this one, it's far more wearable and has much more range.
What a wonderful perfume version of L'Homme.
It is actually quite different, but you can still say it 's an L'homme.
I think the perfumers did an excellent job in keeping the orange blossom in a nice balance and not making it scream loud.
So where it fails in Diesel fuel for life spirit which has way too loud screaming out orange blossom,
Is it here very well done and subtle in this L'Homme.
I am getting a high quality scent out of this and very well balanced.
It has a very good projection and longevity as well.
I think it is a sexy, sensual and elegant perfume and i am feeling confident with this perfume.
Try it on your skin, it's different and better than a paper tester
I have my moments when I am 'confused' by this fragrance. I don't really like L'homme EDT (kind of boring) or La Nuit de L'homme (too powdery for me)but the one I like the most is L'homme parfum intense.
That said, I haven't worn it a lot after I bought the bottle. I found myself reaching for my 'go to's' (Dior Homme, DHI, Aventus, A*Men Pure Malt/Havane, etc.) but I don't think I have given this fragrance enough of a chance. I even thought about selling it, but thought I would regret it.
It's a nice sweet scent. It reminds me a bit of 1 Million, but where I feel 1 Million smells a bit loud and somewhat synthetic, this one gives me a different vibe. It's more pleasant, less in your face, and as I smell it on my wrist as I type...I keep sniffing it again.
Does any body agree that this smell very similar to one million intense
After reading the negative reviews, I'm convinced that I'm smelling a totally different cologne. LOL! I love this stuff. The longevity and sillage is very good. (not great like La'Nuit) Which makes this a perfect everyday fragrance for me. Smells very high quality but not too over-powering for the office. I have been receiving very nice "you smell so good" compliments. It's sweet, but not cheap sweet. Smells refined and sophisticated. When I wear this, it makes me want to dress up. However, this cologne is good for any occasion. I would expect a fragrance named "parfum intense" to be a little stronger and last a bit longer, but this is definitely a winner. I give it 8 out of 10 overall points.
This is one is niche quality.
Scent 10/10
Longevity 9/10
Projection 8/10
I love this juice, i will love to get more projection out of it. I dont see nothing like intense.
Just bought it and it smells fantastic.
It's chique, it has an understated elegance to it and it expresses a manly and refind, seductive man but not to much ...
one of the must have.
L'Homme Parfum Intense by Yves Saint Laurent
Another L'Homme derivative from Yves Saint Laurent's current, seemingly endless fragrance line, this flanker finally leaves the impression of a classic, masculine scent that will be here to stay. Imagine the original L'Homme with a spicier top and a woodier base, this potent juice will have you sigh a breath of relief following the recent release of many disappointing L'Homme imitators over the last few years. Thankfully, a dark, refined fragrance for the cool weather, like La Nuit de L'Homme.
Opening with a blast of citrus and pepper, this one dries very smoothly into a woody, dark ambergris. A sophisticated fragrance best for nightwear like La Nuit de L'Homme, the latter is sweeter while L'Homme Parfum Intense is spicier.
This one performs solidly on the skin for eight hours, after which time it becomes barely noticeable. Do not pay attention to the "Parfum Intense" part, as La Nuit de L'Homme (eau de toilette) is stronger and lasts longer. This fragrance produces a very strong scent cloud that will be noticed by anyone in your space, though its projection does not, interestingly, affect the entire room. This interesting volatility makes this fragrance ideal for work, for when you desire the fragrance to be noticed by only those who draw themselves closely towards you. Two sprays to the chest and one to the back of your neck (plus or minus one to the shirt) – you are good to go. Moreover, this bottle, like all L'Homme bottles, is timeless, and looks beautiful in your collection unboxed.
A heavier L'Homme with more woods and ambergris, this scent is safe, yet will certainly pique the interest of your audience. Its richness makes it different from all the other winter-oriented colognes on the designer counter. For a day at work or for a night out, this pleasing scent is definitely in the top three among the L'Homme line.
Given the track record of the other L'Homme predecessors, seek this one immediately before it becomes discontinued (if not already). Niche quality at designer price, this one is a must if you are a fragrance collector. If, however, you already own L'Homme and La Nuit de L'homme, L'Homme Parfum Intense might not be different enough for you between these other two fragrances to warrant a purchase. ★★★★
Did they really make this the flanker to the original beautiful L'homme? What a shame, this is not the same atall, all i smell when i had it on me was some type of bubble gum, sweet wierd bubblegum, this does not even smell like a mens cologne, more like a body lotion ( when you really think of it)..... I guess lhomme nuit is the best next to the original, but this eau de parfum lhomme story is not working out.
A sweet oriental with very little charactr of its own. A copycat of hundreds other ones in the same line. On the top, the qualifier ntense is vey inadequate. And no staying power.
I first encountered this fragrance maybe a week ago. I saw it at Macy's and requested a test strip from one of the associates. When I first smelled it, I thought it was AMAZING. It reminded me of many of those cold-weather scents with the spice in there! I kept the strip next to where I sleep, knowing that this was a parfum, so it would keep smelling for a longer time than the most do. When I picked up the strip a couple days ago, the scent had changed. It was still very nice but with a similar sweetness to the dry downs of many colognes I come in contact with, save that there was a tad bit of woodiness in there. I decided to try it on my skin. Yesterday, I entered Macy's and went to the fragrance counter. I had the associate hand me the bottle and tested it. The first thing I smelled reminded me greatly of the Prada Amber Pour Homme top note. The associate even looked at me with a certain amount of disgust after getting a whiff of it. I was pretty disappointed in this, but decided to wait some hours, as well all know that scents usually change with time. Every so often, I'd smell the sprayed area. After a few hours, a little bit of that sweetness and warmth came through but it was not the same on my skin as on the paper. All I kept getting was that Prada Amber Pour Homme top note, just softer each time. I was not very happy with the end result.
This properly illustrates the value of trying a scent on my skin before buying. You should NOT purchase something just because it smells good on a sliver of paper. I can only imagine how I would've felt if I would have went and spent $100+, just to find out what I did yesterday.
I'll give you an HONEST opinion of this juice. First off, the INITIAL blast has a 1 million'ish vibe to it. But when that dries down it smells EXACTLY like the original L'homme when first sprayed. My only problem with the original, is that it is just too soft. But that first 30 minutes is wonderful, then becomes a skin scent. I personally believe that YSL has done a great job with the intense parfum. Yes, it is nothing like the original in the beginning, but then it offers what I needed from the original...the original l'homme scent lasting longer! I'm telling you, spray L'homme on your hand, smell your hand, and for hours after you spray on L'homme Parfum Intense...that's exactly what you'll smell like. I am a huge fan of this juice.
Love this frag !!
one of my signature parfume!!!!!!!!amber and wiskey.
one of the best.
Imagine if One Million and Gaultier 2 had a child.
I wore a sample of this yesterday, and on me it's closer to Rochas Man than 1 million. In fact, both are way better than this in my opinion. Plus this has poor longevity. I'm a big fan of YSL, but I will pass on this.
They should have just increased the oil content of the original, there was no need to come up with a totally different fragrance which is in essence a 1 Million clone.
The original in itself is a great fragrance, the EDP is a flop. L'Oreal has really f*** up YSL's fragrances.
8/10 for EDT
and 2/10 for the EDP
YSL should stop making intense versions of older perfumes. We all agree that la nuit de l'homme parfum intense wasn't the best fragrance to be released.
While l'homme parfum intense isn't as bad as the one mentionned above, It is nevertheless a step back from the original.
It starts out zesty and fresh and quickly develops into a sweet perfume. I like it, I'll maybe wear it someday, but I am just not seeing the Ginger signature in the original L'Homme that I love so much!
YSL should stick with creating new perfumes like he always done and been great doing it rather than trying to make super sweet copies of perfumes for the mass market!
Upon initial spray, it was, "Hellooooo citrus and pepper!" It was a pleasant surprise. The light florals come in once it settles. Along with the woody undertone, the overall composition is redolent of sweet incense. L'Homme Parfum Intense is warm, strong, and noticeable but not in-your-face. It projects well and lasts for hours on my skin. Unfortunately, there's an odd sweetness that doesn't sit well with me.
I do not like this scent, it smells to feminine for me. It has A fruity bubble gum linear one demential vibe to it, makes me sick to keep smelling the same liner note over and over Again!! Smells like A sickly blend of their last 3 L'hommes into one, Not for Me.
More of A scent for the Females. Actually would probably smell great on them.
Not too thrilled about it. It smells like the bubble-gumness essence of a sharp grape-filled One Million from Paco Rabanne mixed with YSL's L'Homme. Too sweet for my tastes and quite sharp with the sweetness....not smooth at all. This seems as if it were geared for the teen kid crowd who have no clue what a suave well-blended cologne is supposed to smell like. Not my cup of tea, though I love One Million and L'Homme on their own (though L'Homme's ginger note sticks out like a sore thumb IMHO).
Love this frag. Spicy, Sweet, great for the colder months. Maybe just a tad more longevity. Starts off strong but gets real close to the skin after a few hours.
OMG! I am a girl and I just love to smell this fragrance on a man. This is a marvellous scent if you can carry it on.
This smells like One Million Intense on my skin in the opening, but less cloying and the drydown smells like Diesel Fuel For Life Spirit, but with increased longevity. I kinda like it, but I'll have to apply my sample a few more times to give my final review.
So another L'Homme fragrance to try and without being compelled to own any of them, I have to confess they haven't been bad at all!
L'Homme original is classy and fresh, L'nuit (all versions) is my favourite well balanced and sexy and Libre is inoffensive, bright violet scent.
This one however is the exception as I'm not a fan.
This maybe due in part to appealing to a younger demographic (or attempting to) I personally don't think that much about age in relation to fragrances but when the shop assistant says it, I can't help but think they've read some press release bumf rather than forming their own opinion.
Anyway... I love amber and looking at the colour of the juice I was excited at the prospect of a great warm, sexy amber scent.
However it's disappointing...not rich with amber and sweet to the point that I couldn't wear it and I have a very sweet tooth.
Let's get it in perspective...it's not awful just not up to par with others in the L'Homme line.
I hate Diesel fuel for life spirit, it's probably the most scathing review I've written.
I hated that stuff with a passion!!!
To see so many comparisons here I feel there must be something to it, although I didn't enjoy L'Homme Parfum Intense I didn't think it was boozy and harsh like the Diesel fragrance, it did have the same sickly smell. I need to revisit the diesel to check this out...either way it's not going to change my opinion about this one, a poor edition to an otherwise strong line of fragrances.
Absolutely love this fragrance. I don't know why there's so much hate for this beautiful frag?
I prefer this over "la nuit de l homme". I have both bottles but the nuit version is to much bergamont at the top 4 me...
Longevity and sillage is good. Scent is beautiful. I like it.
1ml sample test sprays on both inner elbows: Immediately passed basic likeability test, getting the definite floral notes (with a slight hint of woody and lemon notes), which gave way after 30 minutes or so to a mostly musk scent.
On this clubbing night, I tread cautiously with this one, based on strong projection/longevity reports.
But, not entirely reckless free as I sprayed some Z14 on my chest and neck. From the Parfum Intense, I got 3-4 hours longevity, period. Got at least a solid arm length projection. For a frame of reference, frag garnered an attractive female compliment, who liked it better than the Z14 "because it wasn't quite as strong". Parfum Intense passes likeability test, but it is still down a ways on my wish list with many less expensive alternatives out there with better longevity.
There is something about the L'Homme collection that is extremely attractive and sultry on any man. I am no expert on men's fumes, but whenever I smell a YSL L'Homme, I immediately follow the trail to it's source. I tracked down men wearing YSL L'Homme, La nuit, and Gingembre in the past; it is actually how I found the original. In a big city, especially in the financial district, you would think that by now I would have smelled some sort of attractive niche on men passing by, but no, anything from L'Homme usually always catches my attention. Well, you can guess how I "discovered" this one. My boo owns it now, and it smells divine on him. Simply put.
A copy of Diesel Fuel for Life Spirit.
Cheap, synthetic, very sweet and BOOOOORING!!!
Another piece of plastic from YSL.
Scent: 3/10
Longevity: 6/10
Sillage: 4/10
If you like the style garbage of 1 Million, you must try this...
Oooops .. L'OREAL PARFUMS dit it again : RECYCLING. ! This one is 99 % DIESEL Fuel for Life Spirit !
The remaining 1% is the bottle !!!
Isn't it strange that this and Diesel Fuel for Life Spirit smells very similar and both perfumes are produced by the same company (L'Oréal) and both were released simultaneously?
(The irony is that Diesel smells, stays and project better than this YSL.)
excellent one of my next buy.longevity an sillage incredible.
Tried it for the first time today. Haven't had it on my skin long but I see what everyone else is saying. 1 million type of young persons sweetness. Its not bad but its not for me. I'm a big fan of the original and la nuit but those are enough for me. Won't be buying this one.
In the opening it smell just like Paco Rabanne- 1 Million,10-15 minutes later it changes ,reminds more of the 1 million intense version.It's sweet,citrusy and smells powerfull,manly.I sure like it since 1 million it's one of my fav fragrances but since it's so similar...too similar for me to buy it.
It does have good longevity and projection,after 5 hours,after i applied one single spray from a 2 ml sample,it's still there and smells strong enough.
It's suitable for the young crowd,great for a clubbing night,casual and more suitable for cold weather since it's strong and sweet!
Overall this is a great fragrance,it lasts long time and projects very good,it's worth the money! Give it a try!
Wow! What a pleasant surprise to finally find this one. Very nice sweet smell. It's like the original L'homme but more sweeter and potent. And it has crazy longevity also. I can still smell it on my forearm after 24 hours even after going to the gym and showering! This one is the best from 2013 so far!
This is lovely! The beginning is a bit fruity and floral and bezoin'y that reminds me a tad of Madonna Truth or Dare Naked. Anyway, overall it's the usual YSL L'Homme but sweeter, more boozy but stay floral and lightly woody. It feels richer and more classy in every way. Ambergris is quite pronounced throughout its cycle. The dry down is a very nice and sweet and fresh powdery smell. I definitely would like to spend more time with this gem and perhaps eventually make a purchase. I think it's a really good buy.
Very sweet, very very sweet. Up front the projection is great but as it dries down - at least on my skin - it becomes a very faint skin scent in only 1-2 hours. Reminds me of 1 million only with weaker longevity and a less durable silage. All in all it's up to preference, if you enjoy sweet scents than this is an okay choice. Like the original l'homme it suffers from poor longevity but more importantly the scent is NOTHING like l'homme, it's something on it's own. I sampled it on multiple occasions but I have to pass, if I wanted a bubblegum scent id buy 1 million.
i tried l'homme intense last week is orange blossom packed in the amber and stil has original soul but heavier and warmer suitable for winter
overall : on my buy list i'll buy it as soon as possible .
What a beatiful fragrance! Can't stop sniffing myself. It reminds me one of my all time favourites - 1 Million. Another YSL masterpiece! Definitely a must have.
Scent - 10/10
Projection - 8/10
Longevity - 8/10
Overall - 9.5/10
Run from this cologne! The worse scent I have come across in awhile. Smells like bubblegum. Just terrible! What were they thinking when they came up with this mess??????
Synthetic mess of grape sweetness and a musky base which reminds me of Dolce&Gabbana's pour homme. Falls completely out of the great spectrum of excellent fragrances Yves Saint Laurent has been known for. This is targeted towards the young crowds eager to wear a popular brand name and known for their horrible tastes in fragrances. Sad that this company is milking the market rather than conforming their product to the smaller and more refined market it formely targeted. Another house down the pooper.
Being a fan of the regular L'Homme, I can't share any of delights on this. To me Parfum Intense on 80% smells like a Diesel Fuel for Life that came out half a year ago. The trend is evident: they take the fruity fragrance and enrich it by fiery cinnamon and a bunch of sweet vanilla notes. The problem of L'Homme Parfum Intense is also that in the dry down it begins to smell like a chemical detergent (or bubble gum for some of you) reminding a lot of Davidoff The Game. The only resemblance to the first L'Homme is in the opening that vanishes so soon. I think Parfum Intense is the fragrance that should have never been released.
I actually thought it smelled alot like 1 million which is one of my personal favorites! The dry down is powdery but I can see myself wearing this scent :) If anyone bought this Intense Parfum YSL and didnt like it I'd trade u for one I have I also have the original YSL L'Homme as well but I think i prefer this new one only cause it falls under the 212 VIP, 1 million, Halloween Man family
OMG! What a disappointment!! I expected a stronger version of original L'homme which is very nice but very very weak.... This "perfume" has nothing to do with the original. I can't understand why they didn't choose another name, another different scent and not one more flanker. It's sad to see in what YSL has become under management of Loreal.... So far of YSL used to be. Gone are those days of wonderful scents as Kouros, original Opium, M7, etc.... Nowadays their scents have neither quality nor originality.
sweet, spicy, disappointing ..i love the original
What a mess, smells like fake rochas and car perfume. Very suits for a 12 years old girl. Are you serious YSL?
This is the first time I'm sampling this, I applied some on my skin and I am actually surprised at how sweet it is. Perhaps a bit too sweet? We'll see in the next few hours.
The orange blossom is definitely there, one of the first notes I noticed. Along with the ambergris. This shows it is in no way similar to the original L'Homme. I am curious what will happen when this reaches the heart and base.
This really reminds me of another fragrance, but I have no idea which one.
Definitely smells like grapes. Very sweet. Not my favorite YSL.
Not like 1 million, at first rather similar to Diesel fuel spirit, pleasant sweet spicy stuff, x hours resembles to the original L'homme in better and interesting way. I'd choose this more instead of older l'homme, but my favourite remains Nuit:)
Tested this for the second time and although I do like it I don't love it enough to pay the price. Starts of on me very fruity and sweet like a honey scent and also smells like bubblegum. It has a nice floral tone to it all the way through and a soft woodiness to it. It sits very close to my skin and to be honest unless I sniff deeply only then I can smell it on my wrist after 4 sprays. That is the only reason I probably won't purchase because it obviously does not sit well with my chemistry which is a shame. If I see a fantastic deal online then maybe I will buy it or unless I am gifted this. Nice fragrance but does not project on me and stays too close.
It doesn't remind me of One Million at all, but in fact, it really is sweet.
L'homme Parfum Intense reminds me of the smell of the fresh baked pastry/pie, I don't know which flavour yet.
About the notes, I do feel a lot of orange flower and maybe some woody notes with ambergris.
I expected extenxed version of L'homme, which I liked quite a lot, but I always complained about its sillage. I got something different, but quite interesting.
Longevity and projection are huge, good job about that.
I still prefer La Nuit de L'Homme EDT and L'Homme Libre over this one.
Smelled this today at Macy's and it reminded me of 1 million. After an hour, it dried down to a powdery,more refined version of 1 million. It was OK, not what I was expecting but really not bad at all.
Updtate. first night worn this out got 3 #s. 1 million smells like wood chips, synthetic leather crayons, & insect repellent compared to ysl.
I was so excited to smell this. On paper it sounded great, I love the original and own la nuit and libre. However disaster strikes! I sampled it in duty free and let it mellow. It is strong and similar to diesel fuel spirit and 1 million intense. However I am sorry to confirm the following incident. Having just applied l'homme intense in duty free in Heathrow, my wife said, oh my god what the heck is that, it is just awful. She told me that I have never smelled so bad and suggested I smelled like the men's urinal. I did ask her how she was such an expert of men's urinals and if there was something she was not telling me. However, based on such a reaction, this one is benched!
First spray reminded me of grape & then settles down to a classier fresher 1 million without 1Mill harsh synthetic smell & has the original l'homme barely in the background. Definetly different from what I expected but very nice. Bought it & going to throw away my 1 million haha.
Is this being sold in the United States yet & where? I'd like to test it out. Thanks
This is such a big flop its unreal to put something like that on the market Poor people at YSL what do you have in your head
Very, very disappointing. All I wanted was a stronger, longer lasting version of the elegant original. Instead, it's as if they poured a very synthetic, sweet, generic, bubblegum smell into the original formula. It's really quite revolting to be honest. Not in a million years would I consider purchasing this. Awful.
I get sweet oranges at the opening, sweet, sun-drenched oranges even though they're not in the ingredients list. They are scarcely peppered and I like that because the pepper doesn't get to your nose too much. This is the nicest stage. Then sweetness follows... Sweetness reminiscent of 1 Million from PR and VIP212 from CH. The similarity is striking and so the new scent from YSL is nothing more than a copycat. It's not necessarily an evening fragrance. I'd wear it on a late summer afternoon or in early fall. Women can easily wear and like it. They can like it more than men actually as I guess most of them (men) will find it too sweet. Longevity decent. Final verdict: not buying it!
Very sweet and soft, citrusy orange blossom. Definitely masculine despite the sweetness. Kind of like a grown up version of fuel for life by diesel. This is actually very nice.. Much better than the generic original l'homme. I would however say that la nuit is still better; this one lacks of bit of uniqueness.
Longevity and sillage seem to be above average but not overwhelming.
I smelled this a few days ago. On the first spray it reminds me of bubblegum, but then it settles down. It is very sweet, different from YSLs more fresh-smelling scents, but still not for me.
I was kind of expecting something a little spicier/woodier.
Smelling this right now at Macy's. It smells good. Yes, it's a bit sweet, but by all accounts, not overwhelmingly so. It's an ambery, citrus, woody, leatheresque, smell. There's also a bit of powder too. This is nothing unique or ground-breakibg, but I rather enjoy it, more so than any other fragrance in the L'Homme line, although it's still "not for me". A great fragrance, however. Just not something I, personally, would spend money on. Highly recommended, however.
7/10: at least on this paper strip, anyway. Very pleasant, yet it still retains the solid feminity of L'Homme and L'Nuit. Here, it's held in check only by faint pepper and woods.
I believe this scent smells alike Ted Lapidus "Black Soul Imperial". THey are so similar that probably I would confuse those two ones quite easily. I must admit that Imperial smells more of coffe and it's a bit heavier, but what connects thos two scents is a characteristic hint of a candy. Still, I prefer Ted Lapidus
I'm in the States...Any chance I can order this from someplace overseas on thursday who has this already? someone please write contact info or message me....[email protected](want to deal with store only)
Sweet and not similar to the original . I was expecting something else.
Sampled this yesterday in Israel; smells gorgeous. I'm not good at pinpointing notes and stuff like that but this one, just like all of the l'homme line, has the original l'homme backbone but different in a way and that's what interesting about this line!. This one is a little more refreshing than the original, and a little stronger. YSL is driving me crazy with the fact that each flanker of the l'homme line is great in a different way.
Update: I realized that the paper strip I was smelling was actually Diesel Fuel for Life Spirit! :) (L'homme Parfum Intense is similar but Diesel smells better and stronger!)
I have tested it, I happened to saw it in Müller drogerie by chance :)
Yes, it's intense and harsh and for me it's... slightly aromatic! It projects hard and fills your nose, and your brain too ;)))
I think it's a very good fragrance but to be honest, (for me) it's not similar to the original L'homme. I wouldn't even tell that it has anything has to do with L'homme. It has that "extravaganza" factor which the well-groomed original lacks. A (little) bit green too, I have to add.
I can imagine this more as an Armani fragrance than a new addition to the YSL L'homme line.
You can relate to it as what's Armani Attitude Extreme is with Attitude original, maybe.
Will definately buy it sometime in the future when it will be cheaper!
Dear perfume lovers:
Please moderate your comments on this page against people rating the fragrance, since you have no idea if the person has tried the fragrance or not. For instance, this particular one has been for at least 2 weeks in sephora stores in Paris and Lyon France, and apparently also Italy according to the comment below, so the fragrance is selling in different points in Europe at least, therefore stop the hate against reviewers and wait until it comes to your city, country or favourite store to rate and comment respectively. There is a world outside of the United states, you know? Regards.
i ve tried this perfume...stronger then the original but i hear a lot of musk...however it s very similar to one million intense ;)
this perfume is avaiable at sephora in italy !!!

Mods please erase the votes, people are screwing with the system and voting on something that is yet to hit the market.
Why was La Nuit Le Parfum a flop? I have it and it is just a wonderful scent because it as almost the same as the original La Nuit but you who wears it feel it different, special as one should in a special occasion. The only complaint is that it doesn't project much as an EDP should but the quality of the scent is breathtaken. I only wish the flop would be found cheaper so i could stock up for I love this flop.
hopefully not a flop like the parfum version of la nuit
I agree with @suile
I have the whole line & frankly I like them all , so I can hardly wait 4 this one so thumps up !!!!!
Well, I used to like the original a lot when it came out. Then, recently, fell in love with La Nuit and got the three versions of it so i was forced into buy L'Homme again, what means that I will do my very best to get hold of the new parfum version, although I don't seem to get much out parfum versions, Mauboussin pour homme was a bit of a let down. well, c'est la vie one guesses ...
As for the notes, you can always downvote them till they are Zero, if a few proactive people do that, it might help. For the rest, nothing you can really do about it, just wait till people get it and review, then it will work itself out with volume.
Agree with Endymion what's up with u people
its seems a summer or spring but I still didn't vote only just checking the note
I know that but I don't think that's the case in most of these examples.
I really don't think that every time a new release came to publish here those people who you mentioned happen to read these pages within hours and make their votes.
This page was made some hours ago and votes came within the first hour... c'mon!
Everyone who gets irate because people are already voting on a fragrance. How do you know no one has tried it ? People working in stores often get samples months before a public release and then give them away to good customers or friends.
Those who has already vote on longevity and sillage (and on the notes):
You make this function useless!
Shame on you!!!!!
I can't wait to smell this one.the original homme is one of my favorite.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Until recently, finding a brewery that would fill up your growler (beer-speak for a 64-ounce jug) with a bold, full-bodied Belgium-style craft beer required a road trip to San Diego. Enter The Bruery in Placentia, where owner and brewer Patrick Rue will gladly pump up Orchard White (an unfiltered witbier scented with coriander and citrus peel), Black Orchard (black wheat beer), or whatever special brews he happens to have on tap into your awaiting super-sized growler To-Go. It's a neat trick for saving money on beer you plan to drink in the next day or two, but the beer won't stay fresh very long. If you don't have a growler, you can buy one at The Bruery, or stick with the 750 ml bottles for $8 to $11. That may sounds steep for beer, but these are higher-alcohol, almost wine-like brews that favor sipping rather than slugging. Or swing by the tasting room for a $6 tasting flight or pint of your favorite pick. 715 Dunn Way, Placentia. (714) 996-6258, thebruery.com.
—Jenn GarbeeThe Local Place is the more casual of the two South Bay restaurants associated with sweet bread makers King's Hawaiian. Located on Western Avenue in Torrance, near the 405, this restaurant has lengthy lines, but the service is quick. Breakfast is the best bargain, with Spam and egg musubi for $2.05 and breakfast sandwiches for $2.85. For lunch or dinner, the Porky Boy combo ($5.95) consists of a good-sized pork sandwich on a fresh, sweet roll with fries and a drink. Specials, which include the teriyaki bento box ($8.45) featuring beef, chicken and pork, change daily. In addition, the Local Place's bakery is filled with cakes, cookies and pies stuffed with macadamia nuts and coconut. The paradise cake, made with guavas, limes, passion fruits, strawberries and peaches, is a local favorite. Of course, you can also stock up on King's Hawaiian bread here. 18605 S. Western Ave., Torrance. (310) 523-3233.
—Liz OhanesianWho says Italian food has to be expensive? Between the Mozza empire, the Drago empire, Il Moro and others, L.A. has an abundance of Italian dinner options to set you and your date back a hundred-plus bucks before you've even blinked. It's the wine, especially, that gets you. Yet while you could decide to go the fine dining route and skip the alcohol altogether, you'd also be missing out on an unequivocal truth of Italian culture: Booze goes with food. That's why the phrase "no corkage fee," when uttered in a public place, is guaranteed to prick up every ear within range. At Colori Kitchen, just a few blocks from Staples Center, you can nestle yourself into the spacious and oddly '90s-esque dining room, eat from a menu of basic Italian-American fare, and most importantly, drink freely from your own bottle (or bottles) of wine. Items like tricolore salad, spaghetti and meatballs and spinach ravioli are eaten freely and without judgment, and the cioppino, while one of the more expensive items on the menu, is also packed with enough seafood to make Poseidon weep. A slice of the ricotta cheesecake makes for a nice close to an utterly affordable evening.
—Noah GalutenIf you're old enough to remember your parents taking you to a restaurant without consulting a Zagat for fear of choosing the "wrong" place, or not even thinking to ask who designed the interior, and you yearn for that kind of simplicity, Howard's is for you. If you were part of the more progressive, health-conscious generation born thereafter, and your mom never let your precious lips touch white bread, Howard's is for you. Now's your chance to experience this untouched-by-time diner, squat in the middle of an unattractive strip mall without a Starbucks (is that possible?) — where you can park right in front of the restaurant! — just like people did in the olden days. And for $5.35 you can get what the place is famous for: a gooey, drippy bacon and avocado burger tasting of the grill. It puts the Carl's Jr. version to shame. For $3.99 you'll get a classic BLT with four— count 'em—four slices of glistening bacon on toasted white bread. And trans fats be damned, here you can get the unadulterated full-fat version of French Fries ($2.10). In case you've got to know: Décor is by Howard. Go before it all becomes extinct. 11127 Venice Blvd., Ste. 7, Culver City. (310) 838-9111.
—Heidi DvorakMaking tortillas by hand may be a dying art in East L.A., but La Piñata Tortilleria stubbornly refuses to yield to the machine. They spend three mornings a week slapping oblong balls of maize flour on the counter and pounding out hundreds of tortillas a mano for their customers. Yes, La Piñata does offer mass-market tortillas as an option. At $1.89 for a package of 36, these tortillas de maquina offer significant savings, especially if you eat them often. But as far as taste goes, they're not in a league with the softer, thicker, más Mexicana tortillas a mano, made Friday through Sunday mornings. Arrive early, because that's when the food's freshest and sells out fast. Handmade tortillas are $3 for a package of 10 on the day they're made. They get knocked down to half price on Monday and Tuesday — if there are any left at all. La Piñata also makes excellent tamales, which come in pork, beef, cheese, chicken or sweet varieties for $16 per dozen. 607 W. Whittier Blvd., Montebello. (323) 726-0327.
—Todd KraininHawkins House of Burgers is most famous, perhaps, for its Hawkins Special, a truly absurd and behemoth creation consisting of three one-pound burger patties, cheese, bacon, chilies, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, fried eggs, pastrami, mustard, a butterflied hot dog, pickles and mayo. It weighs in at five pounds, costs sixteen bucks, and comes with fries and a soda. I'm not sure exactly how many people the monstrosity feeds, but let's hope it's more than one. Yet, while The Special is their claim to fame, it probably shouldn't be. Where else in Los Angeles can you pick up a delicious double cheese burger, an enormous pile of nicely prepared chili cheese fries and a tallboy of Olde English for around five bucks? Also, if you're really looking for a bargain, there's usually a guy on the patio outside selling bootleg DVDs for a dollar (not that we recommend that sort of behavior). And while you're there, take the opportunity to visit the Watts Towers just down the way. 11603 Slater St., Watts. (323) 563-1129.

I just watched the first episode. I liked the OP and ED a lot, and the animation/art was crisp and very pretty. Not bad for my first Shoujo... I'm looking forward to the next episode, because as we all know the first's all just introductions... Yup, Hakuouki's staying on my watchlist

Okay I said I'd wait for the sub...well...I couldn't...I caved into their hotness and watched the raw...orz - not that I understood anything.
I like the OP and ED. Love the OP song - although I couldn't hear much of it with all the bishies floating around before my eyes. I got fangirl goosebumps all the while watching this first episode. *shivers* Spoiler for episode 1:
And I saw many potential bl pairings (...this coming from me, orz) I'm sure bl-fangirls are jumping to the gun for. Looks good so far...plot?...when it comes to a basket full of bishies like this...I don't need plot. Quote:

Just watched the subs. I have to say, this is one of the best fabulous hair-themed triple reverse trap double reverse harem anime I've seen in a while!
I mean. Deen really surprised me here. The art looks great and the colors they chose really fit the atmosphere. Can't say much about animation since the majority of this episode didn't need any, but overall very pleasing visually. Won't comment on plot yet since I'll need (real) subs for that. It took a bit of effort for the talking heads to keep my attention, but that's mainly the lack of subs fault. I'll trust that the story will move past the talking and into action/romance/etc soon. Will keep watching~ |

I just ran across a second set of trollsubs for this title. Some people are seriously laying the hate on. On the plus side, I've seen the opening scene about 10 times now, and quite like it. :checks watch: I guess there's no chance of getting a legit sub today after all.

But you're right, this isn't important...just funny. I agree, she is a cute (and damn lucky!) girl. I wonder how well she can fight - since she has a sword, I assume she can fight at least.

Episode one was nice. It looked interesting and ended up interesting. Though talk about bishounen overload...... ( -_-)
Otome game, after all... Can't be helped. As long as the story remains stable, it'll be a good show... I hope. Plus, there aren't many, but the girls are cute. I thought it was obvious she was female... Brilliant idea! Yes, two thumbs up! Strip her...

Haha, the joke subs were pretty funny -- plus it helps to learn the language when you have to really concentrate on what they are saying. Beautiful art, though the moving mouths screams not high enough budget. It seems like almost every anime with good looking guys made for girls are cursed with moving mouths and slow action sequences, though this one is comparatively a lot better than a lot of others. Really excited to see the real subs come out after the end of Kimi. Do we have more than one group doing this one? |

Watched the episode again (with Chinese sub). Enjoyed it even more.
Not really knowing much (except the name, really) about the Shinsengumi, I looked it up in Wikipedia -- and found that the characters in the show are at least partly based on real people. Click through on the names in the list there for a few actual photos -- Kondou, Hijikata, etc. This site has even more info about each of them.

This is funny... is it a reverse harem? In any case, pretty boys abound... I detect yaoi fanart being drawn as we speak.

Betty McCollum (D-MN) alerted Capitol Police Thursday after a threatening fax arrived at her office attacking her proposal to strip Pentagon sponsorship from NASCAR teams.AdvertisementMcCollum's staff tells TPM this is the first time they've alerted the police about a threat made against here office since the health care debate."Yo, Slut Betty," the fax, which arrived at McCollum's DC office Thursday morning, reads. "Shut Your Phucking Pie Hole!" The fax then goes on to say that "without exception, Marxists are enemies of the Constitution" and "Death To All Marxists, Foreign And Domestic!" Read the threatening fax, obtained exclusively by TPM, here. [Warning: document contains extremely offensive language.]AdvertisementTeam McCollum told TPM that they alerted police as soon as the fax arrived, and have yet to hear back from the department. McCollum's office does not know who sent the fax, or where it was sent from."We alerted Capitol Police this morning after we got the fax," Maria Reppas, communications director for McCollum, said. "We leave it to them to determine the threat level for pieces of correspondence such as this."McCollum's proposal seeks to ban the military from spending taxpayer money on racing sponsorships. Currently, the Army sponsors a car in the NASCAR's Sprint Cup series to the tune of about $7 million per year. McCollum contends that money — which NASCAR says helps boost Army recruiting — is wasted.SponsoredSince announcing the proposal, McCollum's office has received more than a few calls from irate NASCAR fans upset at what they perceive as a slight against their sport. "We've had calls," Bill Harper, McCollum's Chief of Staff, told TPM. "Lots of Mississippi people, North Carolina people. We had a Florida person." Asked what the callers say, Harper replied, "'Get your hands off my NASCAR', mostly."Harper said he found it "ironic" that McCollum's amendment, which he said is the exact kind of government waste-cutting the new Republican majority has championed, is riling up NASCAR fans to the point of calling McCollum's office.Advertisement"We've heard innumerable times that the Republicans were elected to send a message from the people that we should stop spending money," he said.

One hundred fifty years ago to the day Saturday, a group of Port Washington area residents riveted the nation with their revolt against the Civil War draft. Rooted in fear they were being unfairly treated in the draft, they took to the streets in a confrontation that ended only when the state militia surrounded the city. At 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, Ozaukee County will host a commemoration of the draft riot on the steps of the courthouse, where the confrontation began, and a celebration of the local soldiers who fought in the war. An exhibit of Civil War memorabilia and artifacts will be on display in the Ozaukee County boardroom from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Friday, Nov. 8 to 16, except for Sunday, Nov. 11. Another draft riot exhibit is being held at the Luxembourg American Cultural Center through Dec. 31. "The draft riot is the premier historic event of Ozaukee County," said Kevin Wester, an avid historian and executive director of the Luxembourg American Cultural Center. "It sent shock waves through the country. "It was such a big event in the day. It made the newspapers in New York, in Chicago, in Madison." What is known is that on Nov. 10, 1862, attorney William Pors, the draft commissioner, was ambushed by an angry mob of Luxembourg farmers opposed to President Abraham Lincoln's draft. Many of the farmers believed that Pors, a German Protestant and Mason, was exempting his friends from military service, Wester said, adding that language and cultural differences came into play as well. A crowd of more than 200 people stormed the courthouse when Pors prepared to draw the names of those to be drafted. He fled, and the mob swooped through the city, destroying the homes and property of those they believed sympathized with Pors. Pors fled to Milwaukee, and Gov. Edward Salomon ordered eight companies of the 28th regiment to surround Port Washington. At dawn on Nov. 12, the troops surrounded the rioters and the community. There was little resistance. Through the years, Wester said, stories about the draft riots took on a life of their own. But organizers of Saturday's event have done their best to get to the truth about the riot. "The bottom line is we'll never know one definitive reason for it," Wester said. "There are two sides to it." The 2 p.m. ceremony Saturday will include music by the Civil War Singers of Manitowoc, remarks by a number of local officials, an interpretive storytelling of the riot and the dedication of a historical marker placed at the courthouse. There will also be a tribute to Ozaukee County Civil War soldiers, as well as all local veterans, Wester said, noting the event occurs just a day before Veterans Day. Re-enactors from Wisconsin and Illinois will be present. A map of downtown Port Washington that locates areas where significant events in the draft riot took place will also be developed. Although the program is expected to be held outdoors, it will be moved indoors in the case of inclement weather. "It's a wonderful story," Wester said. "So often, we forget the rich history we have." The art exhibit features a number of photographs and biographies of Civil War soldiers. Among them are the boots Henry Bichler, a Port Washington tailor, wore to war. "He went through some incredibly grueling experiences," Wester said. The State Historical Society has also lent a large, almost life-sized photograph of Edward Blake, the son of Barnum Blake of Port Washington who during the battle of Franklin wrapped the flag around himself to protect it from capture. "It's iconographic," Wester said, noting the well-known photograph depicts Blake a few years after the war, in his Union uniform with the tattered flag. "It's pretty spectacular. It shows the fight to save the flag and the beating he took," Wester said.
