by Mauboussin
Mauboussin Homme is a woody-spicy aromatic fragrance with a prominent lavender and cinnamon opening, balanced by herbal notes of sage and rosemary, leading into a warm, sweet base of patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood. The scent is well-composed and seamless, offering a sophisticated, slightly soapy and gourmand character that feels both elegant and approachable. It leans toward a classic masculine barbershop style with a modern twist, combining medicinal green notes with a creamy, soft vanilla, making it surprisingly versatile across seasons, especially in autumn and winter. Many users find it to be a memorable yet subtle performer with moderate sillage and a balanced longevity that holds through the day and into the night. Though some note it feels lighter or less intense in newer formulations—earlier versions are credited with stronger performance and richer character—this version remains reliably enjoyable on a range of skin chemistries.
