Par Amour pour Lui? Who the Fuck is Lui?
While rummaging around for a tobacco scent I came across Profumo's commentary on "Par Amour pour Lui". He professionally put this wonderful scent into words almost a year ago and really got me hooked. Although he has already written everything important about the scent, I would like to add my mustard to it. Why? Because he has forgotten something. He didn't tell us who Lui is!
Tobacco, hay and leather are clearly in the foreground with him. In the trio it sounds a bit like the "cowboy in the prairie" to me and I actually feel the same way about Lui. Not a loud, trigger-happy cowboy, but one you better take seriously and respect. But Lui is also a gentleman of the old school, who holds the door open for the ladies and takes off his hat.
But there are two things missing to a perfect cowboy cliché - horse and whisky.
Anyway, for me, Lui is a real cowboy, with or without a horse. And we'll talk about the whisky later. But let's start at the beginning.
Imagine the most natural leather you have ever smelled and double the intensity. Can you do that? Then you'll know roughly what to expect at the start of "Par Amour pour Lui". I suspect that different leather notes were used for the scent, which, in relation to my "Cowboy Lui brainchild", appear as boots, pistol holster and horse saddle on Luis' shoulder (What's a cowboy without a horse? A semi-trailer. :D).
The silage curve reaches its peak after about 5 minutes and then falls rapidly over the next 30 minutes. The leather looks quite hard at the beginning, but becomes more and more delicate as the silage falls and stays at about the same level with tobacco from the heart note until the end (approx. 7 hours) A strong, slightly humid and dark pipe tobacco which appears particularly natural here in contrast to a dry and light hay note.
Unmistakably different herbs also play a role. The only thing I can recognize is tarragon, which is very noble and accompanies Lui during the whole process. I would have thought that sage would be a good choice but it is not listed.
Before I forget, I'd like to say something about whisky. First - whisky is definitely not included. Secondly - but it can certainly be interpreted into it. Various herbs and an almost overripe bergamot could be the reason for this. I take this "whisky note" only sometimes, and then only as a "light flag".
For me, however, "horse" cannot be associated with the scent at all. What now?
My suggestion: The nag simply ran away and lost the whisky at a gallop. The bottle broke and the wind now occasionally blows the "whisky flag" in Luis' direction. Well, how does that sound?
Do you think Lui is for you? I don't know Maybe you know his Coursan "Feuilles de Tabac" from France. The same guy only clean-shaven and without leather and a little bit more distinguished. If you like him, then you probably like Lui too. Lui may be "nishig" but he is also socially acceptable. I take him to work, shopping, home.... ...everywhere.
In the evening in front of the TV he might get on your nerves a bit, though, as Lui is a real nature boy. Even on hot days he tries hard.
I beg your pardon? On "hot" nights? Well, you're gonna have to figure that out for yourself. He's not short on testosterone.
To a woman it fits about like a men's check shirt or a cowboy hat - so very good ;-)
One last question: Do you know Marion Robert Morrison, aka John Wayne, aka "The Duke"?
He was THE Hollywood cowboy icon. I don't know if he was a good actor. But a heroic fighting spirit, paired with an astute mind and a stoic composure he could bring convincingly enough to the screen, so that milky boy like me back in the 70s wanted to follow in his footsteps blindly. My cowboy walk in front of the big mirror in my parents bedroom was so cool... now I was "The Duke"!!!
Today, a good 40 years after his death, heroes of his calibre are anything but "up-to-date". For me too, the old Westerns are long gone. But with "Par Amour pour Lui" you have the opportunity to take a look at the prairie to meet the old heroes. Well, at least it worked for me.
Lui - I take off my hat!

Bonjour Monsieur Duchaufour!
Recently, one late evening, Madame Metalfan was out of the house, I sat comfortably in an armchair with a cool bottle of beer and watched a live concert of a Doom Metal band on our stately big TV. On my skin was "Land of Warriors" and so it happened...
