Pour Un Homme de Caron Le Soir
by Caron
Pour Un Homme de Caron Le Soir is a richly layered amber-vanilla fragrance with a prominent lavender core, gently fading into warm woody and smoky base notes. It carries a refined, velvety sweetness that lingers subtly without overpowering, making it ideal for cooler evenings. The fragrance opens with a soft, candy-like lavender that evokes the iconic Play-Doh note from the original Pour Un Homme, though it's less prominent here than in the classic formulation, giving way to nuanced iris, incense, and tonka bean. The ambroxan and oak lend a subtle, glowing depth, making the scent feel both modern and classic. It performs best in winter or autumn, and is particularly suited for evening wear. While it shares DNA with Givenchy Gentleman and Prada Black, it avoids the syrupy excesses found in many contemporary basques, instead offering a minimalist, cohesive elegance. It succeeds in blending nostalgia with restrained modernity, making it a thoughtful choice for those drawn to sophisticated, soft amber-vanilla scents.
