What do reviewers say about Un Homme and L'Homme?
The anise is the tell. Either it's the most interesting thing in your wardrobe or it's too much before noon. For those who stay: a 1980 fougère that smells like someone's father actually had taste.Un Homme
Built for the man who's already in the room. The citrus and mint open with immediate energy, but it's the amber-wood drydown that earns the reputation. Moderate projection, quietly confident.L'Homme
