Fath Pour l'Homme (1998)
by Jacques Fath

this is a nice,old school sort of gentlemens cologne.to me it doesn't change much, and i don't think its too offensive on the street. fresh sprayed in an office might get you punched,though. the price is right and very cool bottle and cap.worth having in your collection.

Suave, not overpowering, but a definite presence. Goes to a skin scent after about four or five hours. The oriental character of this seems not to reference vanilla very much. The drydown is more amber and musk, retaining a hint of the spice notes as well. Perfect for wearing in public, at work, casual social occasions, and so forth. It's urbane, sophisticated, and not in the least modern or trendy. Unassuming, but definitely not self-effacing.

Vanilla, lavender, mint, amber, synthetic smelling, ultra boring, super sweet top, with a very faint musky, floral and woodsy dry down. The top smells a little like grapes as well. The dry down lasts 10+ hours on my skin, but the opening and middle (the best parts) last under an hour. You can tell that everything was put into the top notes here. I'd rather get something with better quality, but this surly does smell nice.

Fath PH is a slightly puffy vanilla amber fragrance with a touch of cinnamon powder.
It is quite sweet but rounds up to something more flowery that makes it quite elegant in deed.

A woody vanillic amber. A touch sweet, but restrained and elegant. A nice masculine.

Lasts forever! Woodsy vanillic sweetness. One of the strongest "amber woody" scents I've encountered. You know how "fresh" a lot of recent releases (200x) are? Let's use Polo Explorer as a recent example. I like that stuff but there's the ubiquitous ozone fresh/clean accord in Explorer that's in like, everything. Fath L'Homme is that woodsy amber but strong, minus the ozonic stuff and feels retro. Notes like clove and cinnamon and definitely lavender are in this. So well made and so good.
