A pleasantly intense burst of herbal lavender in the top, bordering on pine-like and minty, and a touch of civet bridging to a softly spicy and powdery tonka bean base. Like many classic masculine EdT's, it's a little top-heavy, and its initial intensity goes soft quickly and it becomes faint and undetectable long before I'd like it to. Still, if you like a light, classical, beautifully composed men's fragrance, Pour Un Homme is sure to please.

As for me... I'd love either an EdP or parfum version!

I really like this one. Nice lavender opening, and I agree with mrclmind that there is a hint of civet that shows up briefly in the early development. Then a nice vanilla drydown. A bit sweet, but not excessively so. Very classy and "old school". Definite thumbs up!

An elegant lavender and vanilla scent, which starts out full of promise but wimps out on my skin. If it had better lasting power, I wouldn’t hesitate in buying a bottle.

Such a pity.

Excellent. I like this a lot. Lavender and vanilla. The lavender opening is perfectly executed, then I get lots of vanilla. They launched this in 1934, so I guess sweet vanilla fragrances like Givenchy's Pi are nothing new, just history repeating itself.

Either way, I do not recognize much beyond the lavender and vanilla, but this is unlike anything else I own and it can be had for relatively cheap. Try it if you can, even if only for its historical significance.

This is one of my old favorites. It's classy and dignified, too. Sure, there is lavender in it but also vanilla and herbs. Originally this was called "Le Plus Bel Lavande Pour Homme". The name was changed about 20 yrs ago. It is long lasting without ever being "cloying". To me, this fragrance represents a very stable man who doesn't follow the many "silly" fragrance trends of the present day. Whenever I wear this people will always comment on how pleasing it is to the senses. Often, women will often say it is "unforgetable" because it is so distinct.

Delightful and unique blend of lavender and vanilla; a little understated as long as you don't overapply it. This is the essence of a magnificent man's EDT from France. As some point out, it is not for the faint at heart and it may be too "powdery" for others but for me it is a haunting and magnificent fragrance I can't be without.
