Eau de Toilette

Overview

Intense Instinct takes the early Instinct family in a fruitier direction.

Released as a limited edition in 2007, Alain Astori’s composition combines juicy freshness with gentle spice and clean woods. It has a different emphasis from the dry, aromatic character of the 2005 original.

The bright red bottle was a strong departure from the first Instinct’s clear glass and silver cap. Despite its name, Intense Instinct is an Eau de Toilette with a separate composition. Think of it as an alternative expression of the family, rather than an extra-strength bottle of the original.

Fruity rather than simply stronger

Intense Instinct is an interesting detour if you want a fruitier take on the family. The word Intense can be misleading here: this remains an Eau de Toilette with its own composition. Choose it for its melon-and-spice direction, not on the assumption that it will outperform the original.
