Pour Homme II
Fragrance notes
Character
Pour Homme II keeps its best ideas close: what reaches other people is faint and personal, so the black tea and cinnamon at its center mostly belong to the person wearing it rather than anyone standing nearby. Violet leaf and bergamot open on a green, slightly bitter citrus note, and black tea with pimento move the heart into something dry and warmly spiced. Tobacco leaf, myrrh, and olive tree in the base add an earthy, resinous depth, and musk ties everything together into a warm, quiet finish. Staying power sits in the average range, fading into something barely there by the time you would think to check for it.
Someone who wears fragrance mostly for themselves, and does not mind that others might not catch it, will get the most out of the black tea and myrrh combination here. It suits every season reasonably well, which is unusual for a fragrance built around tea and tobacco, and it works about as easily in daylight as after dark. It is a quiet fragrance built on a genuinely interesting idea, better suited to close company than to any kind of entrance.
