Paco Rabanne Pour Homme
by Paco Rabanne
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is a classic aromatic fougère with a prominent fresh and soapy character, opening with bold herbal notes of rosemary, clary sage, and Brazilian rosewood. The scent is clean and masculine, transitioning into a dry-down with layered lavender, honey, and a pronounced mossy base, offering a balanced, slightly sweet green character. The overall effect is that of a well-constructed, timeless barbershop scent—reminiscent of a fresh shower with herbal soap, leather, and earthy moss. It's versatile across seasons and occasions, with moderate longevity and balanced sillage, making it suitable for formal or casual wear. The fragrance holds deep sentimental value for many, though some note a loss in intensity compared to vintage versions. It's a strong choice for those seeking a classic masculine scent with a mature, refined character.
