"Pour Lui is a classic masculine Eau de Toilette launched in 1980. Its character is centered on a rich leather accord supported by aromatic herbs, aldehydes, spices, woods, moss, and musk. The opening is sharp, green, herbal, and traditionally barbershop-like, with lavender, juniper, basil, sage, and bergamot. Its heart introduces carnation, patchouli, cinnamon, cedar, geranium, vetiver, and cyclamen for a spicy floral-woody transition. The drydown becomes darker and more textured through leather, oakmoss, labdanum, sandalwood, and musk. Overall, it represents an old-school, formal, and strongly masculine fragrance style rather than a modern minimalist composition."

Reviews Summary

“Pour Lui is regarded as an iconic vintage masculine leather fragrance with a classic, formal, old-school character. Its reception favors its distinctive leather and aromatic construction, while its traditional style may feel less aligned with contemporary mass-market preferences. Wear-time is commonly described as approximately seven to eight hours.”
