Worth Pour Homme, from Worth was released in 1932. The perfumer behind this creation is Odette Breil-Radius. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Cinnamon, Lavender, Mandarin Orange, Nutmeg, Petitgrain, and Rosemary, middle notes of Brazilian Rosewood, Carnation, Geranium, Green Notes, and Pine Tree, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Fir, Leather, Musk, Oakmoss, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
After falling in love with Je Reviens this year, I knew I needed to explore the house of Worth further. Worth Pour Homme delivers exactly what I hoped it would, an elegantly masculine fougere with a bold and cutting-edge character which I’ll not soon forget. This is a very sharp scent which makes a bold statement, lavender and pine needles make a wonderful pairing, with their green aromatic qualities furthered by herbal notes of rosemary and petitgrain among bright citrus. But underneath, a warmth appears - rosewood and carnation evoke a gentle warm spiciness along with cinnamon and coumarin. The overall result is wonderful. I really enjoy this fragrance, and I’m not usually a lover of fougeres. The piney feel of this scent is very nostalgic and comforting to me, along with the subtle warming aspects it feels perfect for autumn as well. I’ll hopefully look to add this to my collection at some point.
