Soapy Fougère
The Pour Homme is a very well-made, modern fougère from a small, new perfume house. That alone is a beautiful story!
The opening is a good indication of where things are going to go. It smells like a spicy curd soap due to the aldehydes and the many herbs. The whole thing is rounded off by a very fresh citrus. This then fades as the fragrance progresses and the soapy tartness of the scent becomes more diverse. In the rather green drydown, it remains "gentle" in this way, it has no rough edges, it simply smells clean, but in an absolutely good way. However, it is not a fabric softener fragrance, but rather a pleasant, classically masculine curd soap. However, the Pour Homme does not smell old-fashioned at all. Hats off!
A fougère is obviously well known as a typically masculine fragrance. This one is no different, even if it is a little softer overall than some others of its kind. Like many other fougères, it works well primarily in spring and fall, but I could also imagine wearing it in summer. If in doubt, even in winter with a few more sprays.
Longevity and sillage are average. But the price-performance ratio is good. However, it is now either temporarily or permanently no longer available directly from retailers.
Finally, a small note: I normally only give it an 8.5, let alone an 8, if I really enjoy wearing it. However, my relationship with Pour Homme is special in that I normally don't really like soapy fragrances. I therefore wear it less often and appreciate it more as an intelligent fragrance creation than because I really enjoy wearing it myself. Every now and then, however, I get a craving for it. I hope others can understand what I mean and maybe even know it too.
Definitely worth a try if you're not put off by soapy fragrances and you can still find a bottle somewhere.
