Unless I'm mistaken does this have a hint of Green Irish Tweed about it?? And I don't just mean a lavender note, the whole herby deal. Just for a fleeting moment??? My nose was a little fried when I tried it to be honest I'd sampled lots of juice that day. Can't offer a review at the moment but I know Lalique ooze quality in whatever they do and this fragrance impressed me...I'll have to get a sample to give a proper appraisal. Please someone tell me am I imagining the GIT similarity? Or is it another Lalique...? I'm sure it was this one.
Hey Thanks FreddieFingers! I'll put that down to a nose malfunction...I need a proper sample of this to try properly anyway.
Okay so my last review(if you can call it that) didn't really give much insight into this fragrance but having tried it extensively I had to add it to my collection. Now I have done, I think it may even be my favourite Lalique simply because of pour homme's wearability more than anything else. It has a wonderful soft yet masculine woodiness which opens with grapefruit and rosemary then quickly into the heart of peppery cedar and oakmoss. This fragrance has the Lalique signature of never once over stepping the boundary with any one note and keeping things exceptionally smooth at all times. The opening is complex with notes I can't really pick out but can be perceived in the overall picture displayed by pour Homme...like lavender and vanilla I'm sure they're probably there but don't stand out to me. It's the dry down that is magic for me very subtle and close, it managed to smell even better than the opening to my nose, gorgeous in fact maybe due in part to the vanilla showing up a little more and making for a creamy smooth, woody herby finish. This fragrance is fresh and manages to stay a little warm at the same time...brilliant stuff! I'd recommend this to lots of people as I think it has a broad appeal to fragrance heads, those who are looking for something classy but respectively cheap or even a relative noob who enjoys a masculine fragrance but doesn't want anything too extreme...Lalique pour Homme is perfect. Great fragrance and very versatile works all year round and any occasion but I'm going to give it heavy rotation in the spring I reckon.
There's something giving off some herby skank in the opening, I think it's the combo of jasmine, lily of the valley and rosemary, and it's both strange and compelling. The herbal note is slightly reminiscent of Granville by Dior, but it's less piney (although there is a piney nuance here). The amber, patchouli and oakmoss are very pronounced, forming a sort of sweet, warm, slightly pissy undertone (good though). As this is astoundingly cheap, I say perfume enthusiasts should snap it up, then give it a few mins before judging, it's growing on me by the second. Good alternative to Bois du Portugal.
