"Green" means, in this case, a sharp, pungent, aggresive feeling to the nose. It shares much of the same character of scents launched in the 1990's and easily found everywhere. Reviewers mention ginger, I can get bergamot on a very linear, straightforward way. I expected the drydown imporving it, and it does after one or two hours.

Get the traditional Ô, which is better blended. Subtler and fresher, in no way less masculine due to this.

(oops, I posted this on the women's version, here is where it should be!)
O pour Homme is green, fresh, a bit floral but not sweet. It develops a grassy character. This is a light chypre. Some have called it cold, harsh, sharp – I don’t find it so frosty. It is cool and quiet. It may have rosemary and vetiver in it. I don’t detect any ginger. Nothing extraordinary here, but it is pleasing.

My first cologne that I actually liked that is discontinued. I knew there was a woman's makeup company who came out with a good cologne from a sample I got and finally, here it is...but alas...it did not survive. One of the best male florals I smelled.

Very green, a bit cold and harsh more than a bit sharp—Ô Pour Homme comes on strong. I’m not a fan of sharp green scents and this one is as sharp and green as I’ve experienced. I agree with Marlen that there is too much ginger—and the ginger contributes significantly to the sharpness and coldness of the fragrance. I believe that this fragrance needs a good dose of warmth added to it. It’s a well-made scent and it does have acceptable longevity—it is just too sharp and cold for me.

Citric green notes and ginger. Reminds me of a cross between Sung Hei and Givenchy Greenergy. Ultimately a little too much ginger for me, slightly harsh.

I really, really, REALLY Liked this one! I mean it's up there with my other favorite male scents!(even though this one is fresh and floral and i prefer something more dark oriental and moody) This was very avant for its time and sorely misunderstood. Might be considered too femenine for a lot of guys. Only got great compliments from it: "you smell like a dewy prarie" and you "smell like and angel on a grass field", so yeah it might be called "pretty". This is everything all green teas and fresh spring morning-like scents would like to be. I am so sad this one got discontinued. Everytime i run upon one (over at a retail that sells old stuff) i obviously get it. 2 thumbs up!
