How does it perform?
From 115 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Je Suis un Homme smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most see it as masculine and classic.
It opens green and fresh with myrtle, bitter orange, bergamot and lemon. Cognac, cinnamon and clove then add a spicy warmth. At the base, animalic notes, leather and patchouli build a heavy, woody footing. Woods of Windsor For Men / For Gentlemen and Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa have a close profile.
