Noble Kaleidoscope
Generally, the German language - compared to its southern-southwestern neighbors - specifies the addressee in its grammar.
While Romance languages keep their "pour homme", "per uomo", "para hombre" vague regarding the man, a "für den Mann" demands an explanation.
Which man exactly?
So one creates a clever trick with "für Männer".

Grauton chose the relieving "pour homme" for a complex Fougère.

Hiss!

A gentle start, nothing hasty.
High-quality hesperidic notes - beautiful lime - accompany recurring aldehydes.
They testify to a glorious era full of upheavals. They have been laid aside, but never forgotten.
With their sharpening of the senses and mental maturity, they will accompany the fragrance like golden flags in the wind. Standards of knowledge.

Immediately, something masculine beats lightly and stealthily, the cumin stands tall yet remains polite. A nice, mischievous grin.

And already a balsamic fir and bright coriander seeds along with clove take over.
Magnificent, elegant, and with a sporty spirit.
What a beautiful deep green intermediate chord!

The other herbs and spices remain in the background, waiting for their turn.

The next section of the composition is full of flowers and like life itself - memento mori.
Sometimes unrestrainedly young and indolic (jasmine), sometimes finally (lily). And again cultivated (violet with galbanum).
Skillfully framed by a soothing, well-measured moss soap with slightly golden honey tones (aldehydes and indole).
Here everything would end in Chypre, yet the olfactory experience is still in its plump youth.

The more serious part presents itself as herbaceous green and leathery. The aforementioned herbs carry an adult sage, very noble.
For a long time, this herb was banished or simply overlooked.
Here it testifies to experiences.
Its litter was crafted from cedars and stained with compliant nutmeg.
Royal!

But this is a dual monarchy.
The other half of the realm belongs to a noble lavender from the house of cumarin.
Here lies the heart of the Fougères.
Hay, woodruff, violet crest, all attributes of a noble lineage.
A well-ordered reign cohabits for the benefit of the fragrance.

A rose guards the secret of the dynasty. Ghostly, it appears in due time, only to disappear again.

Rarely does the last part of the kaleidoscope unfold so beautifully.
High-quality musk from past decades enchants with a certain crackling eroticism.
Creamy, light, almost mineral, and with this calm self-assurance, it glides over classic foundations: patchouli, vetiver, woods, and leather.
What an invitation as a farewell!

Bravo!
I will return!

One more thing. The fragrance starts nobly fresh and cool, goes through a beautiful bright phase, and ends pleasantly warm in this calm manner of the brand.
A well-deserved applause for that!

The fragrance has granted me a deep insight into various stages of my (fragrance) life.

It was immediately clear to me to let The Universal by Blur play as background music.
Like in the fragrance, the song quotes passages from past decades to ultimately create something wonderfully new.

The aldehydes instantly transported me to the 1970s; my memory does not reach further for biological reasons.
I loved smelling these fragrance components on adults; they marked the respectable distance from childhood.
By the end of the decade, many scents smelled balsamically deep green.
Not to mention violet with galbanum.
I owned the two iconic fragrances of these directions very early on.

In the early 1980s, this distinctive nutmeg on cedar joined my repertoire.

The opulent flowers followed a few years later.

I practically absorbed lavender with my mother's milk, whether almost monothematic or as a cologne.
It was only consistent to choose Fougère as my favorite direction.
And this would not let me go from puberty onward.

I could identify this noble musk in numerous, mostly Anglo-Saxon fragrances.
Formative!

When I smelled this ghostly rose, I had to pull myself together.
A too-similar chord still reminds me of a kindred spirit who left too early and mysteriously.
Too mystical, too penetrating.

One thing is certain, the fragrance suits me.
It does not overwhelm, pleasantly emphasizes, and quickly becomes friends.
My better half perceives it as smooth and multifaceted.
As if it had always been there.

And for that, dear Martin, I want to congratulate you.
You have dared to make a complex recommendation amidst the loud and shallow zeitgeist.

Respect!

May Pour Homme be crowned with success!

Memory Generator
A sunny morning, early September. The air is still cool. I stand in front of the ground floor buildings where the first grades are housed. 1964. So the buildings, now it’s 1979. Or 1977? It’s not quite clear, around that time. Anyway, I’m standing there, nicely dressed, wide corduroy pants, loden jacket, in the style of the time. The school cone in my hand. It’s made of felt, light green, with a lemon-yellow ribbon on top. The school bag made of light leather on my shoulders. It’s already a bit older, the fate of having older brothers. You can only smell the leather if you stick your nose in deep, very lightly. It’s still quite empty, apart from the pencil case, there’s not much inside. That’s also made of cord. It was a very corduroy time. There are colored pencils inside and a fountain pen. Geha, that’s important, shapes you for life. Most have Pelikan.

But is all of that true? Doubts arise. Weren’t the colors much more vibrant back then? A dark green and wasn’t the ribbon red? Memories are deceptive constructs. Objectively viewed, they are at best subjective. One should not trust them, especially not one’s own.

Grauton Pour Homme is a little bit magical. Magical in the sense that it evokes memories of a time I don’t associate with perfume. My memory of perfume only slowly begins in the 80s; before that, I had no significant touchpoints, and if I did, only subconsciously. Still, the memories are there; bright and cheerful memories, others wouldn’t fit the scent.

Pour Homme starts spicy and fresh and especially aldehyde-green. The citrus fruits are present, but rather as support for the herbs, the cumin, and especially the aldehydes. The whole mixture is very dense, and you already feel like you’re in the 70s. It reminds me a bit of Aramis Devon (1977) but is somewhat more restrained and lighter, yet certainly not lightweight. I wouldn’t call it a fougère, as the herbs and especially the cumin are not pronounced enough for me. The latter only brings a slightly warm note.

Lavender makes itself known next, dry and spicy. A few flowers also play a role, but I can’t identify them individually. And galbanum. The overall mood remains the same, fresh-spicy and light green. Cedarwood brings a slight lime note. One could speak of a classic men’s chypre at this stage, although soon a slight leather note also resonates, which makes me think more of the Aramis from 1964, especially since the scent also becomes a bit sweeter, as if something resinous is contained.

Towards the base, there’s then moss, a lot of moss, first a bit soapy, later drier (the moss could also be from Rogue; Tabac Vert or Mousse Illuminée come to mind). Vetiver brings a fresh tone, sandalwood and musk round it off. The whole thing remains fresh-spicy in the base, which distinguishes Pour Homme somewhat from the aforementioned Aramis, which goes into a woody-ambered base and also from Devin, which becomes warmer and resinous in the base. Only much later, after about 7 hours, does Pour Homme also become woodier and slightly resinous, and that’s how it fades out.

Martin Fuhs himself says about Pour Homme that it is a tribute to the scents of the 70s and 80s, and I gladly agree, although I would tend more towards the 70s (plus or minus a few years). The aforementioned scents from Aramis came to my mind because I know and appreciate the brand; a title for this text could also have been ‘the Aramis that never existed’ (which should be understood as a compliment). However, one can certainly also refer to other scents of the time; Pour Homme is a (successful) homage to a fragrance era, not to a single scent. It is certainly a dry, serious, but never humorless fragrance, firmly anchored in the past, yet modern in its appearance (more finely drawn and lightly composed).

A valued Parfumo recently suggested that such fragrances might trigger a new trend, moving away from the often prevailing mushy, woody-resinous-sweet widescreen wallpapers, towards more classic scents. I would wish for that.

---------------------

Influenza Disclosure
Martin provided me with the sample of Pour Homme unsolicited and free of charge, for which I am very grateful. Writing something about it was never a condition and is my decision, as I find the scent very, very good. This doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be open to offers; please contact me via PM.

Grauton Parfums Pour Homme - The King of Men's Fragrance
Pour Homme can certainly be described as the King of Men's Fragrance. It has absolutely nothing to do with the often overly sweet and exaggerated Gaultier disco pumpers, but simply radiates class and a Fougère-like understatement.
Not a muscle-bound brute, but rather a man who stands firmly in life and doesn’t need to artificially inflate himself. The muscles are there, but they are well-defined.

A "mustache" also suits the wearer of this fragrance excellently - but, as mentioned, all with style and not to be compared with the mate-drinking hipsters of modern times.
A scent for the true gentleman and perfume connoisseur. I often get associations with Ben Bernscheider, if anyone knows him. This fragrance would suit him perfectly.

The components (and there are indeed quite a few) are wonderfully harmonized, developing into what, in my eyes and nose, is a rounded and beautifully dreamy companion. A classic fragrance with hints of modernity. Many thanks to Martin for this masterpiece!

It starts citrusy with a pronounced lavender note that is omnipresent, initially combined with soapy and green/spicy hints reminiscent of fir and spices (caraway, clove). A little later, slightly floral nuances join in, and the oak moss gradually makes its way to the forefront. In the drydown, the classically elegant base notes of patchouli, vetiver, wood, and of course, musk and a hint of leather are prominent.

Its wonderful creaminess, clarity, initially a bit cool, later warming up, never overdone and always pleasantly present, makes this fragrance, in my opinion, the new King of Men's Fragrance.

The sillage is always present, but like everything about the scent, not exaggerated, rather very noticeable.
The longevity is also very good and above average - I can still smell Pour Homme in the evening.
And all of this at an incredibly fair price, with transparent pricing.

A fragrance that transports me to a time when "the world was still in order" and lends a kind of sovereignty to better endure current events...

In this sense:
Thank you very much for your attention - I have the honor,
your Pfleddinho

My Favorite from Grauton
Why not write a review?

I asked myself that as I looked at my far too long statement. So here’s some information spiced up with a bit of opinion.

Aldehydic-soapy with bright citrus, along with juniper, herbal camphor finely integrated, floral accents, galbanum. The base is soft-tarry, camphor & vetiver are prominent, but very smooth and without sharpness. Shaving lotion vibes.

Surprise on fabric: totally soapy and clean, the beautiful details remain largely hidden under the lime soap at first and then emerge over the hours.

For me, this is definitely the most successful scent from the brand so far, also because it is designed to be more masculine than the somewhat more pleasing other shades of gray, without smelling old.
I am also totally pleased that someone in 2023 has the courage for such a hinted reference to the 70s - and hits the mark perfectly.

Top and almost timeless!

Madame Wears Pour Homme
I’m actually not the Madame type, if by Madame one understands the German meaning of a somewhat more refined lady. I’m more the type "I’m neither a young lady, nor beautiful, can go home unaccompanied."
Perhaps that’s why I also quite enjoy wearing one or another men’s fragrance, sometimes even believing that it suits me.
Normally, I wouldn’t emphasize this, but when a fragrance is explicitly called Pour Homme, for men and nothing else, then it might be worth mentioning that as a cis woman, I find this scent quite wearable for myself and can also imagine it on other women. And yes, on men too, of course.

It’s a power scent. Use it sparingly, otherwise it can be overwhelming.
Oakmoss isn’t always my friend, and even here, less would be more. However, this is complaining at a high level, as it is already an art to compose so many components, namely 30 (in words: thirty) into a harmonious whole, which has clearly been achieved here. Alongside the green strength, there is also something slightly soapy detectable, a bit of wood, a bit of spice,... You know, the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

According to his own statement (source homepage Grauton), Martin Fuhs taught himself the art of perfumery. All I can say is: Respect. If he claimed he learned it from Francis Kurkdjian or whoever, I wouldn’t have doubted that either.
Grauton is a charming little house that offers affordable exclusivity with a personal touch. My sample kit also included a business card with a small handwritten greeting on the back. May many more beautiful fragrances follow, Mr. Fuhs!

Wonderful soap made from Aldehydes and citruses, Chypre with a green base of galbanum, lavender and spices. Manly, classic from the 70's.

Sehr interessanter extrem maskuliner Duft. Leichte Bitterkeit und Oldschool-Vibez. Aber nicht altbacken!

Actually not cheap because it's 30ml. But in my view, it surpasses MFK Masculine Pluriel, though individual preferences may vary.

Wonderful start with aldehydes and citrus notes. It follows with a herbaceous green spiciness, lovely lavender. Creamy sexy musk at the end. Really well done!
