Pour L'Homme by Roger & Gallet

Pour L'Homme by Roger & Gallet is a lovely, sophisticated chypre launched in 1993. It has echoes of 1980s fragrances but feels lighter and more lively. It starts with lively citrus notes combined with basil, a slight fruit note and what I perceive as a touch of eucalyptus. The middle notes add rose and jasmine touches including a complex note that might be cyclamen. The base notes are a comforting soft cedar, moss and musk. Pour L'Homme is made up of natural notes and could be characterized as a deeper version of traditional eau de colognes. The longevity is 5 or six hours and it's a refined fragrance that can be worn in any setting. I believe it's been discontinued but you can still find some bottles online.
