Un homme by Charles Jordan builds the bridge between the 70s and the 80s of the last century. Great silage, great durability. The great resinous-woody power that we always encounter in the 80s fragrances, we also find here. But at the same time, the complexity of the 70s scents is also present. Here we encounter an almost honeyed note at first step, supported by a clearly perceptible hint of anise, but not the pungent tingle as in Lemicka's "Au masculin parfum intense", rather the feeling of the pleasant film of a cough drop in the throat. Then anise recedes, interweaving with the other components. A very characterful structure slowly unfolds. The fragrance combines its individual components so effortlessly that pleasure comes before analysis. I would like to say: my heart rejoices.
The fragrance development progresses gently, remains very dense, almost balsamic, here is a similarity to "Ho Hang" by Balenciaga.
The fragrance goes its own way. Towards the middle, woody notes announce themselves; they remain close to the body, while in the sillage the herbs predominate.
Finally, the leather actually comes forward. I admit, at first I thought this note was due to age, the tipping of the scent. But the scent remains stable, the herbs, the spice are present alongside the leather for a long time. The similarity to "Ho Hang" should be tried again. "Un homme" also remains as intimate as "Ho Hang", does not become as loud as "Azzaro". Despite the incredible, apparent proximity, both fragrances are worlds apart. "Azzaro" for the boys and the young guys who want to attract the attention of the neighborhood. With "Un homme" it's the maturity, the quality, the statement. A fragrance for the office and to the classical concert.

"Azzaro", the lute, it still exists today, it still has its fans; "Un homme" becomes a fairy tale, the older people who still know him tell about it.
Who this fragrance in a reasonably intact form runs across the way, which should access.
