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 Pour Homme (2011) smell like?
Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, while winter is the least chosen season. Daily, business and leisure wear are rated almost equally. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and about half of voters call it masculine, with a share calling it classic.
Mint, lemon and petitgrain open it fresh and green. Oakmoss in the heart and patchouli in the base settle it onto an earthy, woody, chypre footing, with a spicy edge running through it.
