Façonnable Homme (2002)
by Façonnable

Strange fragrance that i smell above all mentholated and green, than fruity and woodsy with a touch of final smoothness. The first blast is all mint, citruses and a touch of lavender. The neroli accord starts to exhale just few minutes after the first spray but ends to lose its strength and to mix with a lot of fruity and floral notes. Cedar keeps a sharp feel going on with the journey. The base is common with the initial eucalyptol turning in a synthetic metallic note a bit smoothed by a touch of amber, vanilla and musk. Sandalwood imprints a bit of structure to the woodsy base. Boring, undistinguished and yes, gross. Another drop in the ocean of scents.

Faconabble Homme was just about meh..it would a be safe buy for someone who is new to perfumes though..fresh, powdery, musky floral with hints of spices and vanilla. not bad, especially for the price...but not too interesting too..

Nice and fresh in the beginning, ugly and unnerving at the end. My only favorite part is the opening (like with many perfumes). This one gets a thumbs down for being bland.

One of the first EDT I bought. I liked it at the time (in my early twenties), but I've moved on. Nowadays I still wouldn't call it a bad smell, but a bit simple and synthetic...

This is one of those “What were they thinking?” fragrances. Fruity / floral / green—watermelon, orange blossom, and mint—in a quite unlikable accord: first synthetic then it quickly changes to just plain boring except for the disagreeable background note that doesn’t seem to belong to anything. The middle notes are no better. There is an unattractive vegetal note in there that couples with a tiny bit of a moldy aftersmell—fortunately it doesn’t last very long. The base practically disappears on me—it is musky and a little woody with some vanilla and/or amber for sweetness—besides its lack of strength, the base isn’t too bad. Façonnable Homme doesn’t SEEM grossly synthetic, but there’s that undeniable metallic taste in the back of the mouth...

Nasty, not the worst, but not nice at all. Fresh start, warmer middle notes, sweeter base, boring and common. Wouldn't give it another try.
