Un Homme (1979)
by Charles Jourdan

Spicy aromatic woods and moss. Very masculine and classy. Longevity on the naturally oakmoss base is phenomenal. The lavender is amazing, too, and soapy but not potent soapy. Opening is very strange but that's just the opening which settles do.

PS This fragrance is as old as I am. Would you call me "dated"?

the comparison with De La Renta Pour Lui (Vintage) is very apt. in that, this has a very prominent accord of lavender (the use of lavender also reminds me of Lutens Gris clair). it almost has a wax like accord to it. this one stays on pretty powdery with a leathery accord running thru it. i would also lik to believe thats actual Oakmoss i'm smelling. gives off a pretty smooth and rounded effect along with the ambery goodness. the mood is definitely on the darker side.

An oppressive, boorish, clod scent from the 1970's polyester period, reeking of gaseous musk and cheap red wine.
