An approachable kind of masculine
This starts very similar to some other fumes with leather I've tried - a sharp slightly woody, masculine scent, that is also intensely powdery. It feels a bit jagged at this point.
A mild rosy sweetness quickly pops up, accompanied by something like a tangy, citric note. By the time jasmine joins the party, the rough edges are nicely rounded off, and it's now a little sweeter, but I still think it's not too sweet for a man.
Somewhere along the line, rose pulls a disappearing act and never shows up again. Was this intentional? Perhaps. After this stage, the fume has a slightly smoky, powdery bitter thing going on, with a vague floral and citrus background.
It wraps up with a light earthy resinous aroma on a mildly flowery background, that doesn't seem to be able to decide if it wants to be warm or cold. Leather is a lot more prominent here, and I think that this is the most masculine stage of this fume.
To me, Rose d'Homme isn't the scent of a big burly woodsman; this is for that metropolitan man who is trustworthy and wants to be masculine but also approachable. I really like it. I would want to cuddle someone wearing this because it's such an agreeable scent.
Sillage was pretty alright throughout, with good longevity. On me, it lasted around 5 hours before slowly becoming more muted.
