During the late dry-down the floral aspects gradually recede, as the composition turns its focus to an unveiled, relatively soft leather hiding in the base that couples with the woody remnants and the now more prominent dry vanilla that adds light dusty powder through the finish. As the composition enters its early heart, it turns slightly soapy as significant mossy-green oakmoss from the base joins the now co-starring carnation that takes on a slightly dry, dusty element, enhanced by a cinnamon spice infused supporting woody sandalwood and cedar duo, and sweetened by just a touch of vanilla and soft aromatic patchouli.
Versace L'Homme opens with relatively bright, clean, lemony bergamot citrus with a hint of underlying floral carnation before transitioning to its heart. *This review is of the vintage original formula of Versace L'Homme. This product is good enough and inexpensive enough to be a recommended blind buy for guys who enjoy retro scents that are still quite wearable in 2021. Performance and projection here are still pretty good in the current version. I will observe two things: (1) the current version of this product has lost most of the civet and oakmoss element and somehow has become smoother for doing so-the original formulation, which I had in the mid-80s, was very macho, and as such, when coupled with this fragrance's dated style, would be only for lovers of anachronisms today & (2) if you like Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur, Guerlain Heritage and/or Chanel Pour Monseur, you will find a fair bit of familiar and likable elements in this fragrance. Much happens between initial spray and dry down with this fragrance. Other reviews by possessors of better noses than mine have detailed the complex notes on display here. Today, being somewhat smoothed and weakened by reformulations, we get a nice, wearable and charming old-school scent that is not quite barbershop and not quite a Dad/Grandad fragrance either. A retro fragrance that smelled backward looking in 1984 when it was 1st released. Reviewing the most recent, Eurotalia, version.
cinnamon and leather intertwine to create what becomes the true signature of the fragrance.the cinnamon is mature,the leather mysterious.eventually patchouli and pure sandalwood comes into the is for a real man,not for little boys. It's citrus in the opening.there is an undertone of green soapiness that keeps the fragrance grounded after the citrusy opening.the soapy tone continues,balanced by more herbal as the basil steps forward,and green notes begins to bring the notes downward,preparing for the transition into the heart. This is what i imagine the Dos Equis,the most interesting man in the world wears.the reformulation L'Homme is nice but the vintage is great.the vintage is one of the most beautiful fragrances in 80's.something you won't find in nowadays releases.never too soft,never too overpowering.this has a soothing and calming effect but can be worn with clothes that don't necessarily scream "beach bum".this is the type of guy who will fight when needed and hold you when you need him most. Versace L'Homme is an excellent chypre and I'm very happy that I added it to my collection. Younger men (30s & 40s) can get away with it too on occasions where they want something masculine and elegant something different from the typical sweet vanilla scents that are so ubiquitous today. I find Versace L'Homme to be a fairly versatile fragrance and would be a good signature scent for a man over 50.
Very enjoyable, great longevity, good sillage and good value. This is becoming one of my favourite fragrances in this genre. I'm a fairly recent user of Versace L'Homme and I wish that I had discovered it years ago. As Versace L'Homme begins to dry down the soapiness gives way to a more leather scent with some nice herbal elements. There is a soapie accord in the opening that gives a very nice clean feel. The opening is great and catches my attention with strong wood and moss elements tampered with patchouli and the labdanum bringing it together and giving it some warmth. It is a classic barbershop scent of the 1980s and is still very wearable and able to garner compliments today. Versace L'Homme is a beautiful masculine, warm, woody aromatic scent.
