REVIEWS

Fragrantica - Sparkling lavender, refreshing lime, minty geranium, with a very light vetiver ambergris dry down. Simple, elegant, ephemeral excellence on display here from Caron. Everything smells completely realistic and natural. A subtle but high quality fragrance. This is a true l'Eau flanker- the original toned down, refreshed, with a touch of modernization...If you love Pour un Homme, I think you'd love this one too. If you thought the original a bit too fusty, you just might enjoy this one, as it retains the DNA but succeeds in updating the formula.

Fragrantica - This is SOOOOOOOOOOOO good...This is so much more than a "summery Pour un Homme" - this is actually more like a modern update for PuH in general. It takes the lavender-vanilla eruption that is the original and tones it down or "cuts" it with the lime and vetiver. This serves the intended purpose of making it better for warm weather, but it also serves the perhaps unintended purpose of rounding out and giving more dimension to the original classic. You could call this the relaunched PuH, rebrand the original as PuH "Intense" and I don't think anyone would bat an eye.  If you know anybody who found the original to be "too much" they may enjoy this considerably more. For lovers of the original, this will be a treasured summer variant - for anyone else though this might be far more welcome and versatile.

Fragrantica - Very fresh, a fantastic blend of lavender, lemon, geranium, amber and vetiver, and thank goodness, no ozone note. It's very noticeable on my skin. I love this perfume

Fragrantica - This is exceptionally beautiful but it is not a projection monster by any means. A really sparkling lavendar opening shifts into the more floral aspects of lavender (with the geranium), rather than the more herbal (thyme, woods) in the classic PUH. There is a breath of freshness not found in the original, but well handled, without falling for some of the modern freshie cliches. This sits on a slightly warmer base of amber (Caron's website says ambergris, but probably more likely ambroxan) and tonka notes with some vetiver as well... and the base feels more modern with the amber notes replacing the vanilla. I just wish they had released this in an edp concentration.
