More classical than the Pantheon

Prologue: For the past few months, I've been wearing pure oud oils exclusively, but it was about time for some variety. It's hard to find something suitable when you've spent a long time with natural fabrics. For this reason, you should avoid synthetic scents (for now). So I have reached into my MGO corner and - by chance - a small bottle of the Pour Homme out.

Pour Homme is for me a feel-good fragrance that reminds me of something Pinaud series. Of course, it is much more complex and refined, but it conveys a certain "barbershop" aura. On the one hand, it's herbaceous and mossy with basil, lavender and oregano and a nice vetiver-patchouli-hay combination. It's the green, cold side of the scent, reminiscent of the old days.

On the other side, the scent is nice and spicy with lots of allspice, clove, and cinnamon. This warm thread reminds me of Christmas and speculoos. You get enveloped by a spicy and slightly creamy incense (rounded out by tonka and sandalwood). This is exactly the component that provides a certain sense of security.

The well done combination of fougère notes and "old-school" aftershave à la Bay Rum became a timeless classic.

The fragrance is certainly complex, however, he does not overwhelm. He is strong, but not penetrating. Two sprays have accompanied me throughout the day. The development takes place in the first 2 hours. After that, the fragrance remains rather monotonous, which is not to say that it becomes boring. Quite the opposite.

Who has overlooked this fragrance because of its not so imaginative name, should definitely try it.

Risen from Patou ruins?

A few years ago, when the old traditional house of Patou, decisively influenced by Jean Kerléo, was revived, many eagerly awaited the rebirth of the fragrance that had become a myth, 'Patou pour Homme'. Its pitiful remnants in circulation are probably only a shadow of their former selves due to oxidation caused by overlaying, but this does not deter the hunters of the lost treasure from still loosening astronomical sums in order to catch even the stalest reflection.
So the question was: should a new launch put an end to this hustle and bustle, as happened in the case of Guerlain's Derby, since the new Derby was simply (almost) as good as the old one?
No, unfortunately, it didn't.

For inexplicable reasons one decided to create a completely new smell, which carried alone the name of the old smell, and with this was not even nature-related. On the question of why this was so, this and that was brought into the field, that for example certain ingredients were no longer available, others again the ban beam of the IFRA hit. In short, the old fragrance was simply not revivable, and since one did not want to compromise, (which one took in the case of other Patou heroes but quite) one decided to a new creation This may be understandable, but that an approximation to the original would have been quite possible, shows the fragrance 'Pour Homme' by MGO Duftanker.

When I sprayed it on me for the first time, I thought: wow, great! Such a lush spicy, large-sized and multi-layered work with by-, or in this case main name 'Pour Homme' I had not under the nose for a long time. After a while, however, some aspects seemed familiar to me, and when I thought about where from, it was clear to me quite quickly: it was 'Patou pour Homme'!
Not that both fragrances smelled identical, no, not at all, but they share a similarity of essence, a kind of familial DNA, which can actually also be determined by a variety of notes that characterize both: first and foremost allspice, called 'allspice' in English, because of its wide flavor (and fragrance) spectrum, which oscillates between cloves and pepper. In addition, sage, basil and lavender contribute their mite to a similar spiciness, just as green aspects of spruce and vetiver can be found here and there, traversed by fine smoky streaks and illuminated by floral-fresh geranium tips. Cedar and sandalwood, as well as patchouli, define both bases, along with the tart sweetness of tonka bean and vanilla. Last but not least, the usual suspects oakmoss and labdanum give equal support and stability to the foundation of the respective note frameworks.
Here now the ways ultimately separate, if only by a nuance: while the Patou classic with leathery facets, in tandem with some Biebergeil and / or civet marches in the direction of leather chypre, 'Pour Homme' by MGO remains in the area of oriental chypres, comparable, for example, with 'J.H.L' by Aramis, which was launched shortly after 'Patou pour Homme' at the beginning of the 80s.
Leathery animalism I detect in the MGO fragrance in any case not really - possibly it acts but subcutaneously - while it in the 'Patou pour Homme' quite offensively comes to light.

I don't know if Hans Georg Staudt intended to create a fragrance in the spirit of 'Patou pour Homme', but he succeeded. With his 'Pour Homme' he refutes in any case convincingly the statement of Thomas Fontaine (in collaboration with Jean Kerléo) that a new edition of the Patou classic was not possible for stated reasons. It would have been possible after all.

The Swiss perfumer Vero Kern, who unfortunately died not long ago, landed a similar coup with her fragrance 'Onda' years ago: 'Onda' reminded many of the old Guerlain warhorse 'Djedi', which, so one heard from the house of Guerlain, was unfortunately, unfortunately no longer reformulatable - the problem was allegedly similar to 'Patou pour Homme'.
The fact that Vero Kern taught the responsible persons of Guerlain a better way, however, was apparently rather to be owed to the coincidence: the Swiss did not know 'Djedi' at all, and reported in interviews again and again how proud it made her to have created a work that reminds so many of the mythical Guerlain fragrance.
But as in the case of 'Onda'/'Djedi', I have to clarify once again in the case of 'Patou pour Homme'/'Pour Homme' by MGO: both recreations are not copies! They are independent fragrance characters, indeed with a close relationship to their famous predecessors, but different enough to remain perceptible as independent individuals.

To whom now the comparison with the old Patou fragrance means nothing, since its last droplets are running out so slowly: 'Pour Homme' by Hans Georg Staudt is committed to the fragrance language of the early 80s. Volume and richness characterized them, often also an animalicism that today is perceived as unreasonable. In terms of fragrance spectrum, they were usually so far-reaching that a classic categorization was usually no longer possible. The fragrances had EVERYTHING: Fougère parts, as well as Chypre tendencies, mostly with deep-oriental sound underlaid, and gladly by erotic Schmuddel durchdampft.
This voluptuous fragrance language is also used MGOs 'Pour Homme', but in a somewhat slimmed hedonism, which makes him a little more contemporary and also more tolerable.
Still, I see it more on mature men (or ladies, too) these days, less on Ambroxan-blissed-out boys. But then again, 'Jules', 'Derby', 'Bel Ami' & Co, to extend the genealogy once more, were not meant for beard-fuzzed boys.
The attitude, in any case, with which 'Pour Homme' comes along, conveys to me rather steadfastness, with upright stature, and a certain seriousness, with a touch of cultivated conservatism.

On certain days - not all! - he will certainly be a good companion for me.

Classic/Modern

Without much preliminaries, we go straight to it:

The fragrance creates for me the unbelievably great balancing act between classic perfume art and modern nobility Like tearing open a wooden spice cabinet and inhaling the manifold scents and aromas deeply through your nose!
Clove, pepper, oregano, basil, lavender, allspice, cinnamon.... everything flies one somehow around the nose, but to my amazement ...very coherent!

Here you really have to express a great praise to Mr. Staudt, the seemingly endless motley variety of fragrances, steered into orderly paths.
Is namely the first herbal rush evaporated, come woody notes, paired with a beautiful subliminal hay aroma added.
Here is for me the scent progression most balanced and stands out in my opinion, even from the pure "kitchen herbs" crackers.

The fragrance impression shifts more and more into the woody-oriental, which gives the fragrance a more modern touch, without losing its "oldschool" roots.

So everything lingers for a long time, until it can come to rest on a sweet-tart base!

We're talking 6 hours of fragrance experience here, with a nice strong sillage that then retreats further, peu à peu, to make way for a very long base.
Over 12 hours of durability are certainly given.

To make a long story short:
Here were(my humble nose after)the individual fragrance notes so finely interwoven with each other, that this fragrance is in no way inferior to the timeless men's classics!
As I already wrote in my little statement,classic men's perfume elements carefully meet more modern nuances from the Orient and lift the fragrance so into the modern era.
A true feast for every perfume lover,who mourns many an old fragrance,but is not closed to new elements!

PS. Even if I speak all the time of men's classics, the fragrance is of course also to wear by women.

Only who approaches here with the expectation of a "La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum", but will quickly burst into tears, because he gets to know with "Pour Homme" real perfume art, which has long discarded the stigma "sweetness" u. "flowers" and so swings to new heights!

Timeless

Behind the rather simple name "Pour Homme", MGO hides one of the most beautiful men's fragrances I've been allowed to get to know in recent years.

Pour Homme starts strikingly with all kinds of spices, as I appreciate them in this combination very much in vintage men's fragrances. With a masculine, calm manner. The fragrance has power and understatement right from the start. He never overdraws. Represented but no doubt.

With the mental nose in my home, Mediterranean herb box, I perceive wonderfully natural oregano and clove while inhaling the fragrance deeply. Warm conifer tones remind me of the hemlock aroma from my much appreciated OJ Man in 50% perfume concentration. Green, slightly acidic, warm, balsamic. Self-contained and dormant. And this is exactly how MGO's "Pour Homme" works.

For me, the special thing about this fragrance is how it feels to me when I wear it. It is never the question of having to recognize all the components, but much more the question of how he manages to draw a distinguished, but also timeless picture of a man who stands in life and has arrived.

The quality of the ingredients used is evident to me at every moment of wearing. And in the exact nuances. When conifer, (under)wood and herbs sound harmonious with each other and everything, seemingly effortlessly, forms a unity.

Even after hours, when the scent slowly gets closer to the skin, one of the most beautiful oak mosses waits for me and lets me only nod my head knowing and gratefully agreeing.

That's how a man's scent works. That's how "Pour Homme" goes.

Straightforward, vain and experienced in life
