Perfumer: Nathalie Lorson.
Notes of yuzu, bergamot, aniseed, coumarine, patchuli, incense, iris, violet, orris, guaiac wood and tonka bean.
Again, another masculine floral attempt.
Launched as an woody oriental, but to my humble nose, it is rather a reinterpretated classic fougere. Perhaps it is the citrus/spice/powdery/patchouli accord.
"Man" starts strong and a little confusing as the top notes doesn't seem to work together, jumping and give way to each others notes, coming and going pretty straight forward from first application.
At some stage It has a funny "rubber-eraser" smell going on in the background.
Dry woods, anise, iris and violet melting with leather determinates an eclectic revival style to the scent.
I definately smell the patchouli and incense mixed with the flowey undertones which gives the fragrance a powdery scent.
"Man" smells appealing with soft spices, a masculine (thank god) incense-iris, but there is not nothing new in the market. It brings past and present smells with the goods and the bads.
Perfumers should start to invent new scents instead of copying/using the same competition notes or past fragrances.
In any case, for those who are looking for a masculine "Dior Homme", well, this is the answer.
Longevity is good. Projection is acceptable.
