  This Amor pour Homme reminded me of the backbone of Passenger by ST Dupont. They share main notes across all three levels: top (mandarin and bergamot vs citrus), heart (cardamom and spices vs cardamom and pink pepper), and base (benzoin and rosewood vs benzoin and galbanum). Both are spicy woody scents. Amor pour Homme lasts over eight hours, but sits close to the skin with moderate projection. Amor is from 2006 and Passenger from 2008, so it seems the latter copied something, although its finish is more interesting. Amor pour Homme delivers as a good spicy woody fragrance.

  I believe it has already been discontinued as it is hard to find; it is a perfect sweet woody fragrance for dates and romantic dinners. If the rose and tea are noticeable, longevity is around 6 hours with a trail of 2 hours. Worth having in your collection even if just once. I give it 7.5/10.

  Lost in the wake of the 2000s, this perfume is an original and seductive treasure. Smelling it and comparing it to today’s offerings highlights the magic of that era and its legendary list of discontinued scents—true dream fragrances that touched Olympus and are now being reclaimed. Amor pour Homme is fresh, dynamic, youthful yet magnetic, full of mystery and sensuality. It starts fresh, but soon a spectacular, spicy rose emerges, wrapped in herbs and woods. On this sweet and woody canvas, the rose fits like a diamond in a necklace, transforming it into something precious and characterful. Nothing less could be expected with Pierre Wargnye (the creator of Drakkar Noir) in charge. The projection is moderate, not bad at all, and the longevity is very good. Cacharel Amor pour l’Homme stands out for not resembling current trends, yet it smells modern. Ideal for everyday wear that leaves an impression or special dates. In my humble opinion, it surpasses the dapper yet somewhat unpleasant Dior Homme. Warm, sensitive, magical, daring—a poker full of aces on the table.

  What a wonderful perfume. Sometimes you find aromas like this, so you ask yourself: why are they discontinued? I don’t understand removing such different and captivating compositions—a fresh blend of citrus, sweet and woody notes of very high quality. A pleasant and lovely proposal from Cacharel, suitable for daily use and for being very close to the person you like. Regular projection and more than decent longevity compared to current aromas. Absolutely worth trying.

  How good this perfume is. Sometimes you find aromas like this that make you ask why they’re discontinued. I don’t understand the reason for removing such different and captivating compositions, a fresh mix of citrus, sweet, and woody notes of very good quality. A pleasant and beautiful proposal from Cacharel, suitable for daily use and for chatting very close to the person you like. Regular projection and more than decent longevity compared to many current aromas. Absolutely worth trying.

  Contrary to what people think, it is a great fragrance. The rose note manages to be very masculine. After a slightly dirty opening, it has a behaviour I love: evolution and unfolding with several beautiful chapters. In the opening, there are citrus notes, but not classic ones, emerging a nervous and subtle vetiver-tonka accord, crowned by a mature and timeless rose. The best part is when it drops after the heart, showing a subtle sweet woody ‘oriental’ character. That is why it is beautiful and current. It worked for me on mild to cold days with moderate application; it certainly works in heat, with evening and night being its favourite elements. I wish Cacharel gave more space in its men’s proposals; it is a valuable brand. If you find it for under $60, it is a safe buy. Sadly, very sadly discontinued. Scent: 10. Projection: subtle 2 hours. Longevity: 6 hours max. Recommended.

In the opening, the citrus are evident, but not classic; a nervous and subtle vetiver-tonka accord emerges, crowned by a mature, timeless rose that closes notably. What I like most is when it starts to descend after the dry-down, showing a subtle woody ‘oriental’ sweetness. For this, Amor is very beautiful and current. It’s worked for me in mild to cold days with moderate application; certainly it can work in heat, evening and night are its moments. I wish Cacharel didn’t give so much space in their male proposals, it’s a very valuable brand. If you see it for under 60 USD, it’s a safe buy.

  After trying it several times, I say I like it, which is strange because it went unnoticed and is now discontinued. Amor pour Homme by Cacharel starts with a pleasant sweet and citrusy smell, soft but not original. The citrus mix isn’t overloaded with mandarin, but rather highlights the bergamot, both without being penetrating. The mandarin can sometimes be pungent but not here. This mix is softened by a tea that gives it an herbaceous air. From the start, the sweetness of the rose and tonka bean stands out, light and not cloying. There’s also a mentholated touch from Brazilian rosewood, adding floral freshness. Everything is tender and delicate. I don’t detect the cardamom or fern from the description, nor the spices. Later, a vetiver appears that combines with the mint from the sandalwood, communicating freshness and oxygenation. Starting from a discreet and sweet opening, there comes a moment when it seems a window opens with fresh, mentholated air that revives the perfume and takes it to an aquatic and ozonic level. The promotional video didn’t fit: energetic model, loud music, minimalist black and white setting, nothing matching the aroma. A simple girl or boy walking by the beach at dawn with romantic music and muted colours would have been better. Sometimes I wonder what for so many creatives if the message is wrong. The video would be more suited to Invictus. It’s unisex with a leaning towards an innocent teenager. It doesn’t create anything new nor has great personality, but it’s undervalued because its notes and phases are well executed. It’s beauty in discretion that, in a world of cloying floral-fruity bombs, stands out as an elegant lady among a gang of rude youths.

  Well, I liked it. It’s a spicy rose, nothing feminine, with a slight sweet-fruity undertone. On my skin, it opens fully spicy and I don’t detect the bergamot or orange. The tea gives it a greener effect, though not as noticeable (I’m surprised it’s the most voted note). Gradually, the rose and spices blend, with cardamom as the protagonist. As it dries down, the spices soften, the rose becomes more noticeable, and the scent turns slightly sweeter, never cloying, perhaps due to the tonka and benzoin. These notes add depth without being obvious and it doesn’t smell vanilla-like like others with tonka. Perhaps that’s where the orange appears, not citrusy, but fruity. The woods don’t stand out individually but add masculinity to the rose. Performance is its handicap: it lasts hours but very close to the skin. I’d like it to be more intense at first so I could smell it without getting close. It works in any climate except extreme heat, better for day due to low projection. It could be a good office scent, subtle but elegant, good with a suit or casual. Good fragrance but too subtle and never worth the crazy prices on the internet. The ingredients don’t smell artificial, which surprised me. Review of a sealed 2006 bottle I found in a small perfumery.

  I liked it. It is a spicy rose, nothing feminine, with a slight sweet-fruit undertone. On my skin, it opens fully spicy; I don’t notice bergamot or orange. The tea gives a green effect, but it is not so noticeable. Gradually the rose and spices blend, with cardamom as the protagonist. In this phase, I notice more the spice than the rose. On the final dry-down, the spices soften, the rose feels more, and the scent becomes slightly sweeter, never cloying, thanks to the tonka and benzoin that give depth without being obvious. It also doesn’t smell vanillic. Perhaps the orange appears here, not citrusy but fruity. The woods do not stand out individually but give masculinity to the rose. Performance is its handicap: it lasts hours but very close to the skin. I would like more intensity at the start to smell it easily. The bursts come and go. It can be used in any weather except excessive heat, better for day due to its low projection. A good option as an office scent, subtle yet elegant, good with a suit or casual wear. A good fragrance but too subtle and expensive online. The ingredients do not smell artificial. Review of a sealed 2006 bottle.

  I don’t regret its loss… I tried it yesterday. I was going to buy it blind but luckily there was a tester. If I had bought it, I wouldn’t have regretted it, but it left me totally indifferent. It reminds me a lot of Davidoff’s GoodLife, with the same vibe as DKNY Men and a bit of Live Jazz. They’re all disparate, but they remind me of all of them at some point. I think it’s the worst flanker (and that’s the original) in the Amor Pour Homme saga. I must highlight the Temptation version, which I’m almost in love with. This is green tea with citrus; as it settles, you notice the cardamom, tonka, and rosewood. Longevity is 6/8 hours, moderate trail for the first hour and then skin scent. It’s not a bad fragrance. For those who miss fragrances from the early 2000s, which disappeared unjustly, it serves as an ally, and besides, it’s available at a very reasonable price.

  Tremendous perfume for cold weather and fresh climates! Avoid it in the heat. It’s a sweet aroma, somewhat ‘rough’, so it feels and stays, not evolving much but the trail is good. It has a good fixative and feels like a more refined Joop Homme, with that 90s air. It’s not for blind buying. I’m not sure if it was reformulated, as I have one from 2015 and it’s super strong.

  It’s a nice aromatic fragrance, with its warm touch like the colours of the bottle. It feels well-blended and natural; the rose doesn’t take centre stage for me, which is lucky as I don’t usually like it much. I see it as versatile and distinctive. It’s worth a try if you catch it at a good price.

  AMOR POUR HOMME CACHAREL: An misunderstood and poorly received perfume, perhaps because it wasn’t its moment. An unfair commercial failure, as there are mediocre perfumes that sell and this extraordinary one that doesn’t. It is charming, with rare olfactory sensations. Its opening is a relaxing and fresh herbal tea, yet sharp due to the cardamom, with a soft but masculine rose emerging subtly. An energising combination between freshness and delicate floral, herbal, resinous and spicy notes, with the appearance of a garden. It is jovial, masculine comfort, little known but fulfilling, original and sophisticated. It is not scandalous; it is subtle, coquettish and romantic, ideal for approaching a woman without fear of rejection. Preferably at night, not for bars or clubs, as it is not loud, but for enjoying with a partner, creating a bond or courtship. To me, it seemed fabulous; despite resembling others, I find it particularly original. If you find it at a good price, don’t think twice, go for it. Penitently, very sadly discontinued. Scent: 10. Projection: subtle 2 hours. Longevity: 6 hours max. Recommended.

  AMOR POUR HOMME by Cacharel: a perfume that wasn’t understood or received well, perhaps because it wasn’t its time. It was an unfair commercial failure; there are bad perfumes that sell and this, extraordinary one, didn’t. It’s a pity because it’s charming. It shows olfactory sensations rarely seen today. Its opening is a relaxing, fresh tea, but with a pinch of cardamom, and a soft, masculine rose that emerges subtly. It’s an energising mix of freshness and delicate floral, herbal, resinous, and spicy notes, giving the air of a living garden. It’s jovial, comfortable, and very masculine. It’s original, sophisticated, not scandalous, subtle, coquettish, and romantic, ideal for approaching a woman without fear of rejection. Better for night, not for the bar or club because it’s not loud, but for enjoying with a partner and creating attraction. To me, it’s been fabulous, despite others saying it’s similar to others; I find it unique. If you find it at a good price, don’t think twice, go for it. What a shame, sadly discontinued. Scent: 10. Projection: subtle for 2 hours. Longevity: max 6 hours. Recommended.

  Useless review of the original. Before the 00s, Cacharel had good clothes and fragrances, and Amor pour Homme was their last great achievement. I fell in love at first sight: super sweet, fruity, floral, and herbal, all very warm. The sweetness was so strong the citrus notes tasted like plums rather than mandarin or orange, the rose blended with fern, and it closed with warm woods. It projected well and lasted forever. Later I tried Dior’s Fahrenheit White, similar but more woody. What a pity both had tragic endings: this one reformulated and the Dior discontinued. Perhaps that shift towards sweetness, though pleasant, wasn’t profitable; what we do know is that those were the last days of traditional, quality perfumery. After that came flankers, reformulations, clones, and niches, and now EVERYTHING has to be niche. What a bore.

  Today, almost closing out 2025, I stumbled upon a sealed batch from 2007 in its original cellophane, 125ml, and I just can’t stop smiling. It’s pure gold, a gem that was stored away and forgotten by the world, giving it a touch of exclusivity. I agree with Jerry7474: it’s very masculine, approachable, with that 90s vibe, yet warm and sensual, perfect for enjoying with your partner. On my skin, longevity and projection are moderate, but if I spray it on clothes, it projects massively. It gives me everything I’m looking for; you can clearly detect the tea, rose, and sandalwood. I’ll treasure it for special occasions. There’s nothing like the joy of owning this treasure. Edit: moderate projection but beastly longevity, I put it on 13 hours ago and it’s still there, soft but perceptible. You can tell they really put their heart into it back then. Edit 2: Today 04/02/2026 I have another nearly full tester version from 2007, so I now have two bottles and two of Temptation. I’m officially done!
