The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Me Too! Homme was built on a straightforward premise: that a well-constructed masculine fragrance shouldn't require a mythology to justify wearing it. The name itself is a quiet statement, acknowledgment that this scent plays in territory already claimed by heavier hitters, but does so on its own terms. Milton Lloyd's approach has always prioritized the composition over the copy, and this one carries that philosophy in its structure: bright opening, warm heart, lasting base. Nothing hidden. Nothing claimed that isn't delivered in the bottle.
What makes Me Too! Homme interesting is its willingness to pair lily, a note often relegated to florals and women's fragrances, with tobacco. Hawthorn reinforces that green, slightly bitter backbone, preventing the lily from tipping into sweetness. The tension between that floral delicacy and tobacco's weight is where this fragrance lives. Vanilla in the base doesn't soften everything into beige. It anchors. The result is a scent that balances refinement with warmth, avoiding the sharp aquatic route many masculine fragrances take and instead embracing something genuinely warm and readable.
The evolution
The opening hits fast, a wave of citrus and wild berries that reads bright, almost unpolished. That berry note is the surprise: sweet and slightly tart, sitting atop the citrus rather than beneath it. Within the hour, the heart begins to assert itself. Lily emerges first, delicate and unexpected, before tobacco arrives to ground the sweetness. The transition isn't dramatic, it happens as the berries fade and the herbal quality of hawthorn rises to meet the florals. By hour three, the drydown has settled. Vanilla and amber wrap around what remains of the tobacco, creating a skin-close warmth that lingers through the evening. The sillage stays moderate throughout, present enough to be noticed by someone standing close, but never filling the room. That's by design. This is a fragrance for the hour after the entrance, not the entrance itself.
Cultural impact
Me Too! Homme occupies a specific space: the fragrance for someone who cares more about what they smell like than what name is on the bottle. With a value rating that speaks for itself and a profile built on citrus-tobacco-vanilla warmth, it attracts wearers who want sophistication without the theater. It's the kind of scent a fragrance enthusiast recommends to a friend who's tired of paying for packaging. The sweet-spicy-citrus combination has earned a following among those who recognize classic masculine structure and appreciate it at a price point that doesn't require justification.
