ChypreWhat does Pour Homme (1971) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening is led by lavender, petitgrain, lemon and bergamot, a citrus freshness that already leans green and spicy. In the heart, thyme, rosemary and geranium come forward, and vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli then build a woody, slightly animal base.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring, summer and fall, and it is chosen most for daily wear, leisure and business. Most describe it as masculine and classic. Lacoste Original and Cacharel pour L'Homme have a close profile.
