Jun 25, 2020 at 16:35 comment added Enrico At the level of intuition --so a very sloppy comment (I assume that we are speaking about threefolds here). Suppose you take a (say) smooth threefold and you want to blow it up in a (say) smooth curve. $H^{2,1}(X)$ will not tell you much about the curve you are blowing up (just its genus). However, if you quotient out by $H^3(X, \mathbb{Z})$ then you want to recover the Jacobian of curve, which by Torelli determines the curve up to isomorphism (and smooth projective birational curves are isomorphic). Do not take it as a complete answer, but I found this picture helpful back in the days.
Jun 25, 2020 at 16:33 comment added abx The geometry is that when you blow up a curve in a threefold, you modify the intermediate Jacobian by adding the Jacobian of the curve. This seems pretty geometric to me.
