Intense Pride

Intense Pride from Swiss Arabian, released in 2020, is a sweet, fruity floral for men with a mossy base. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand; about half also find it floral, and a minority pick up greenery, musk, amber and citrus.

Bergamot, apple, pineapple and blackcurrant open it juicy, bright and a little tart. The heart is rose and jasmine, a warm, slightly sweet floral pairing that softens the fruit. The base is where it gains depth: oakmoss brings a cool, damp, earthy greenness, patchouli an earthy darkness, vanilla a creamy sweetness, and ambergris and musk a warm, salty, skin-like finish.

It is marketed as masculine and has a versatile character, fruity enough for daytime, warm enough for the evening, for someone who likes pineapple and blackcurrant settling into moss and vanilla.
