Pride Intense by Rue Broca

Description

Pride Intense by Rue Broca is a powerful and captivating men’s Eau de Parfum designed for the modern man who desires both elegance and commanding presence. It takes the original Pride DNA and amplifies the warmth and spice, creating a more opulent and intense experience.

The packaging reflects this elevated intensity. It features the same confident, square bottle shape but the glass is a smoky grey/olive green tint, suggesting a deeper, richer liquid within. The cap and the rectangular label frame are a striking, modern brushed silver, contrasting the original’s black and emphasizing the “Intense” nature of the fragrance. The box is a matching, neutral grey-brown taupe, maintaining a contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic.

The scent profile is a warm and sensual Oriental Woody blend:

• Top Notes: The opening is an invigorating mix of fresh and spicy notes, featuring bright Bergamot, sharp Pink Peppercorn, and a kick of Ginger.
• Heart Notes: The heart is aromatic and green, often highlighted by notes like earthy Patchouli and herbaceous Clary Sage (though some variants list the original’s notes of Geranium, Apple, and Lavender here).
• Base Notes: The dry-down is its signature feature—a rich, enveloping combination of warm Amber, sweet Vanilla, and a clean Musk, often supported by dry woods like Cedar or Dry Amber.

Pride Intense is typically recommended for cooler weather, evening wear, or any occasion where you want a bold, sensual, and memorable scent that projects strongly and lasts for hours. It is known to be a scent that smells far more luxurious than its price point suggests.
