Louis Monnet

"Pour Homme is a classic masculine chypre-leather fragrance launched in 1978. It opens with an aromatic blend of sage, basil, and rosemary, giving the composition a crisp, herbal character. The heart introduces rose and spices, adding floral warmth and complexity. Patchouli and vetiver form the central woody foundation, while the broader character is marked by leathery, earthy, and subtly mossy facets. Its style is distinctly old-school, refined, and assertive rather than sweet or overtly modern. The fragrance is regarded as an elegant example of late-1970s masculine perfumery and has subsequently been reintroduced by the house."

Reviews Summary

“A classic, complex, old-school masculine fragrance with a refined chypre-leather structure. It is praised for its elegance, depth, aromatic opening, and woody-leathery character, while its reported rarity and high secondary-market value are practical drawbacks.”
