Harrods Parfum Pour Homme is a refined, modern barbershop fougere with a prominent citrus and herbal heart. It opens with a crisp, slightly bitter blend of bitter orange, lime, and juniper, giving it a cool, piney quality. The fragrance quickly evolves into a rich chypre with intense geranium, vetiver, and labdanum, creating a dry, slightly woody and resinous base. Longevity is excellent, with many noting impressive performance throughout the day, although some find the sillage moderate rather than bold. It's best worn in spring and summer, offering a polished, mature scent that exudes quiet confidence. The overall impression is one of sophistication and restraint, with a lingering, clean vetiver and vanilla finish that gives it depth without sweetness. Despite some early indifference or confusion about its gender appeal, it earns strong acclaim for its originality and quality.
