Eau de Toilette
Lubin Rouge Eau de Toilette is a green, spicy chypre for men, with a leathery, smoky and animal depth; it has been discontinued.
It opens with bergamot, petitgrain, basil and green notes for a fresh, herbal start, sharpened by oregano and aniseed. The heart builds a spicy, earthy body from vetiver, cinnamon, patchouli and clove, while jasmine keeps the floral side in the background. The base darkens with moss, leather and castoreum, and labdanum and ambergris add a resinous warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. It reads as a mature, weighty masculine, suited to those who like a dry, smoky, leathery chypre. Its profile is close to Léonard pour Homme and Missoni Uomo.
