Pour Homme
Rabanne Pour Homme has been in continuous production since 1973 and is one of the great fougere compositions, the herbal and mossy style that defined men's perfumery for most of the twentieth century.
The opening is a bundle of herbs: rosemary, clary sage, lavender, laurel and rosewood all at once. It is bracing and slightly medicinal, with none of the citrus brightness a modern fragrance would use to ease you in.
Geranium and oakmoss form the heart. Geranium is green and faintly rose-like with a metallic edge, oakmoss is damp and bitter, and between them they keep the middle cool and dry.
Honey, tonka bean, musk and amber finish it. This is where it becomes warm, and the honey in particular gives it a sweet, slightly animal richness underneath all that herbal austerity.
How Rabanne Pour Homme wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately. Autumn and winter suit it best, and it reads as formal and grown up rather than casual.
Rabanne Pour Homme Eau de Toilette, created by Jean Martel in 1973 for Rabanne, the Paris house making fragrance since 1968.
