Sung Homme (1988)
by Alfred Sung

I love this scent to death,its pretty much like irish spring but with a little funk added. It's a nice soapy/masculine scent and that's just all she wrote. I'm buying another bottle as soon as it runs out,which could be soon :).

I don't get any cigarettes butts but would like to as they would make the scent more interesting. Has better longevity than either Quorum or One Man Show on my skin though is not as interesting or macho. The drydown is similar to Grey Flannel. I don't think I will buy another bottle.

A friend of mine used to wear this all the time. I ended up purchasing some a while ago and now it's back on my hit list.

An old friend of mine told me she thought this is one of the best men's fragrances she has ever smelled, so naturally I was curious and wanted to try it. :) I suspect she meant it was one of the best fragrances for a guy, but lately I've been experimenting with some masculine and unisex fragrances so it seemed like a good time to try this. :)
I am really glad I got a sample, because I agree with my friend 100%. This is definitely one of the nicest masculine fragrances I have ever smelled. I also agree that it reminds me of Irish Spring soap, but I've always loved Irish Spring so for me that's a good thing. I generally find that perfumes that smell like soap are highly wearable and pleasant smelling, and I honestly don't understand why some people seem to dislike them! (Unless maybe the fragrance smells like soap and it's ridiculously expensive. I can see not wanting to spend a fortune to smell like something you can buy for a lot less money.) I believe that this is a fairly inexpensive fragrance though, so I really don't have any problem with it.
Although the scent reminds me of soap, I can also honestly say that I can differentiate some different notes in it too. I can smell the evergreen (which is really nice and not harsh at all) mixed with something that smells like mint to me but which is probably actually a combination of the lavender, thyme and sage mixed with the citrus. It comes out smelling really minty to me though. It's a really nice fresh, outdoorsy sort of fragrance. I think I would find it extremely sexy and alluring on a guy, but I would definitely wear it too. It gets a big thumbs up from me, and of course I highly recommend it! :)

I've had a long, troubled relationship with Sung Homme. When it first came out I was just getting into fragrances. I'd smell it at the counter and just never was compelled to buy it. A few years later I saw it dirt cheap at Marshall's and bought a bottle. Still I was left wanting. It seemed soapy, dry and soapy and nothing more. I discarded that bottle.

Years later I gave it another shot (the bottle I have now). Sung is very, very dry and mossy and the soapiness seems the predominant characteristic. For a similar vibe and one that I believe is far more successful, get Acqua di Selva. Both are masculine and potent (AdS even more so in my book) but I simply find Acqua more interesting.

This fragrance almost smells identical to Prada Amber Pour Homme. Get this instead of Prada & save yourself about 60-70 dollars. This scent smells awesome.
