A little smoky, a little leathery (birch tar?), but mostly herbal and citrusy. This is edgy enough to be bracing, but not enough to be annoying. The best thing about it its is straightforwardness. It gets to the point and keeps to it. It is not linear; rather, it develops quite nicely. Even so, it sticks to its theme and is consistently lemony.

This is great for warmer weather, but the smokiness makes it appropriate for cooler weather or evening wear as well.

Now THIS is what a lemon and wood scent is all about. A much richer and darker (to be comparative to things I know) of Lacoste (original) but not as playful, more sincere. This is amazing throughout all the stages of the scent. I would say that this is an excellent fragrance for anytime you wish to impress at anytime. Sadly discontinued, finding a reputable source for more might prove difficult.

A beautiful and manly scent. One of the few "reserved scents" that is warm yet serious. Similar to one of the the old Givenchy fragrances I used to own but somewhat more wearable in warmer months and by younger people. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN.

This one is new to me and I like it. I think all of the reviews have got it right...and each review adds something different. If you read all of the reviews...you'll know exactly what you'll be getting. For me, it's a nice, new dry chypre that is fresh, powdery, and has nice staying power. Joshaugustt

One of the greatest men's cologne I have ever encountered and I did not expect less from a class name like Gres. The scent is unique. It is fresh and warm at the same time.

Yes, like Christian said, there is a citrus note lingering around throughout.
Although there are similarities with Armani eau pour homme, Homme de Grès is darker, woodier, while Armani is brighter and has a strong spicy clove note.
H&R classified Homme de Grès in the same family as Halston Z-14, but I never tried Z-14 so I can't judge.
However, Perfumeworld writes:
Halston Z-14 (Men):
1976 Halston(Elizabeth Arden) Unilever USA
Olfactive family:Chypre Tobbaco
Olfactive description:Green Floral Spicy Chypre Leathery Mossy Tobbaco Woody
Homme de Gres (Men):
1996 Parfums Gres(Silvio Denz) France
Olfactive family:Aromatic Woody
Olfactive description:Aromatic Citrus Aldehydic Chypre Woody
All in all, Homme de Grès is a very refined, manly fresh chypre with dry woods, with a surprisingly long-lasting citrus top.
