CARVEN menswear has had a fairly steady resurgence recently among style aficionados following the debut collection by Barnabe Hardy in 2015. With its simple, paired back but effortlessly wearable approach the brand has become cult but also mature in its approach.
This synergy has also been expressed by CARVEN PARFUMS in the release of L’EAU INTENSE. Envisioned by Jerome Di Marino under the cult figure of Francis Kurkdjian, L’EAU INTENSE is combination of fresh mint aroma’s contrasted with bold ginger notes.
“As refreshing as mint leaf-infused water, yet brimming with intensely spicy and woody notes; L’EAU INTENSE is the perfect example of an olfactive oxymoron.”
On the nose citrus elements are most prominent, with Italian lemon’s and grapefruit being notable but shortly after comes the warmth of cardamon, cedarwood and amber. Much like the collection itself the scent is a progression in taste and balance of character.
L’EAU Intense by Carven starts at a price of £35.00 (30ml) and is available exclusively in the UK from Selfridges in store and online here.
