Je Suis un Homme

Je Suis un Homme by Etat Libre d'Orange is a classic, masculine fragrance that opens with a sharp, dry citrus burst of bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange. This fades quickly into a rich, animalic leather heart enhanced by cloves, cinnamon, and patchouli, creating a deep, smoky, and slightly medicinal character. The base settles into a warm, powdery, spiced leather with subtle cognac and musk, giving it a vintage elegance reminiscent of 1970s aristocratic colognes. While the initial citrus phase is brief, the leather and spice trail lingers with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. The fragrance evolves in a way that feels both structured and narrative—starting with freshness, dissolving into complexity, and ending in a dry, slightly sweaty, animalic base. Many describe it as bold and masculine, with a strong leather core that feels both edgy and timeless.
