Similar to Kiehl's Pour Homme ?

Are there any colognes similar to Kiehl's Pour Homme ?
post #2 of 17
Hello...Kiehl's pour homme is a perfume oil only. I used to wear it all the time but can't get it now that I live in London, as they don't sell any of the oils here at all. I know they have ditched a lot of the oils they used to make, but I think pour homme is still being made.

It's a great scent but I can't think of any thing similar!

Their Pour homme range was larger before, limited to 3-4 products now. I´ve only tried the shower gel and it´s great. Spicy, old school type of scent with carnation and woods. I love Kiehl´s, super quality stuff at good prices.

MMM

Oscar De La Renta Pour Lui

It is a big, old-school slightly macho scent. Notes: Fir needle, cistus, vetiver, patchouli.
Something "brown" in tone, woody, substantial. Sometimes it reminds me of a heavier Hermes Equipage.

Couldn't agree more. Kiehl's is basically Oscar de la Renta PL with more wood and patchouli. I think it's a very macho scent.

Bijan for Men. The original one. I found they had a lot in common.

Musc Ravageur is somewhat similar in terms of the musc

I have all the suggested alternatives, and KpH as well.

The nearest i know is Carlo Corinto Classic. I still cant get over the similarity.

Smells like Italian Cypress by Tom Ford to me, but I may have been suffering from nose fatigue; I was wearing Égoïste that day. :P

Great suggestions so far. You should try the 80s style powerhouses (Oscar, Krizia, Montana,etc.). Some of these are more herbal, some more pine, leather, floral...all variations but look for the patchouli and the musc, which stand out here. Also, KPHE has a bright citrus (orange/lime?) top and clearly does contain incense. I like the contrasting freshness and the musky heavy base.
In that snese, I'd also recommend Jovan Sex Appeal for the spicy patchouli and musc part of this.
Another one that I appreciate but is a more recent release is the leathery Jean Pascal PH. A must try for powerhouse fans.

hmmm, i only tried it once but my recollection is of a spicey woody powerhouse style scent. not too specific, but try some of the frags from L'Occitane.

Yatagan is very similar though it has a more herbal opening, more celery seed, and no birch tar.
