Yes, I still love it, though I don't find myself wearing it often. I really, really like the topnotes in particular, but the base tends to land with a thud, especially in the heat. I'm pretty liberal when it comes to aligning scents with seasons/weather, but L'Homme Sage is mostly a fall and winter pick for me.

I've seen some good and some bad press on the board about this one. But for me its a must have. Everytime I wear it, I love it even more.

Regards,
Steve

Like it, wouldn't mind owning it. I ordered a couple samples from Luckyscent, and they were factory 1.7 mL samples (for $3/ea) so give it a try before you buy if you're not sure.

Have it, like it, don't seem to wear it as often I would guess I would given my high regard. I group this with Taurer's LDoM, Donna Karan's DK Men Fuel - leaded & unleaded, and Bulgari Black. Not saying these are all the same, I just group 'em together for the shared similarities I pick up. I like this group for fall/winter.

Agree with others before me - A very nice fragrance.

Not a fan, starts out okay but pretty quickly veers into something that feels like a fairly common synthetic 'prolonger' to me - not what I expected at this price point. Front loaded, basically.

I love it as well...easily a top 5 for me. That said, I would only wear this on cool-to-cold days. Summer is coming so I'll be putting it on the shelf for a while. Also, not a moster with projection, more of a skin scent - perfect for romantic/close quarters enjoyment

I like it a lot and it does remind me of Tauer's L'Air, only much milder.

I generally agree with this. It's a great release but I don't think I'd wear it out much.

Ted Lapidus smells like mint and cocoa powder to my nose. Odd because I love the opening of L'Homme Sage, but hate the dry down.

I bought a full bottle after sampling and used it once! Now every time I try to wear it again, something in my head tells me not to so I avoid it.
