L'Homme

L'Homme by Emanuel Ungaro is a soft, powdery cologne with a clean and elegant profile, built around iris, cedar, and lavender. It opens with a fresh, slightly spicy burst of bergamot, black pepper, and peach, which quickly evolves into a light, airy structure dominated by iris, sage, and lavender. The dry down features a subtle, earthy warmth from leather and patchouli, balanced by the soft strength of cedar, creating a refined and understated impression. The scent is most reminiscent of Valentino Uomo Intense and Dior Homme, though lighter and less intense, with a delicate, slightly boozy peach note that softens the powdery iris. Despite its pleasant character and unique terracotta bottle, performance is moderate to weak—most wearers report longevity of about three to four hours, with minimal projection unless sprayed on clothing.
