A couple of months ago, I threw myself fully into the world of perfumes and, reading the previous reviews, thought it was a mandatory purchase. After a trip of nearly a month and a half, it arrived in my hands. This marvel, with its 19 notes, has left me in shock. It has everything: it is rounded, complex, kind, citrusy without being so. It reminds me very much of the scent of certain flowers in the Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve in Veracruz, Mexico, at night: sweet, intoxicating and extremely clean, penetrating the neurons and settling on an intense, sweet and fine leather, leaving you in ecstasy. It is unique, one of my great fragrances. It has character, longevity and spectacular projection, but be careful not to overapply it. Available in the USA and Mexico at a very reasonable price.
My story with this fragrance is long: I want to like it but it won’t let me. Others think it has many chords; I only detect a blinding opening without distinguishing ingredients, just a sharp, shrill “something”. Another strange thing: half an hour after applying it, I stop smelling it on my skin, as if I weren’t wearing anything. If I put it on a shirt collar and come back hours later, I do notice it, but there I detect the greasy residue of the leather, very similar to Cabochard by Gres, a fragrance in that female category. I think I will stop trying it; this fragrance doesn’t want anything to do with me. By the way, you say it reminds you of Gentleman in some phase. I’ve been using Gentleman since I was 18 and I’m 35 now, and I’ve never felt that memory. Another example of how subjective the perfume world is.
Available in Spain at Paco Perfumerías for 34.90 euros for 100 ml. I’ve tried it and it doesn’t please me enough to use. On my skin, it remains very rugged and vintage, reminding me a lot of Equipage by Hermès, especially in the spicy notes. I prefer other classics because they are more elegant and have better sillage and longevity than this L’Homme from Versace. I don’t know if it’s the reformulated original version, but I don’t want to say it’s bad, only that it doesn’t stand out over others of its style on my skin. It might please many others, but it doesn’t fit my style. I recommend trying it because the price-quality ratio is very good for those who like its scent.
This is my second opinion on L’Homme. I tried it several times, got bored of not getting anything from it and put it in a drawer until the cold arrived. I tested it straight after a shower and my opinion changed by 100%. Previously, it seemed chaotic and shrill; now I see a masculine classic, serious and with incredible cleanliness. It’s a citrus leather with a green touch. Perhaps the heat prevented me from appreciating it before. Now, with the cold, I understand it is a great fragrance. If I had to define it in one word: soap. Expensive soap, masculine, clean but worked. It belongs to the 80s but hasn’t gone out of fashion in 2016. The longevity is good; I felt it on my neck for three hours, which is something I’ve already achieved as I usually get used to scents quickly. It is luminous within its gravity. I will use it day and in winter, not at night or in heat. This Versace L’Homme needs the cold.
Someone gifted me a half-used bottle. It smells a bit like Gentleman by Givenchy, but friendlier to my nose. It’s not super versatile or for very young people. If you’re in your mid-twenties, like me, use it only for formal events. As of today (2017), I don’t feel it is old at all.
My great friend Manuel gifted me this bottle this month, and it is an 80s classic from tip to toe. I’ve been wearing it for a week and it is pure old school, in the style of Tsar or Pour Homme by Van Cleef. These vintage classics are my favourites.
Powerful and intense, ideal for cold climates. I place it between Quorum and Kouros. Do not overapply; it is very masculine and for 35 years and older. It has good longevity and projection. For its price, it’s a real gem.
The opening is very aldehydic, like Giorgio Beverly Hills. As it calms down, herbaceous, dry and bitter notes emerge, perhaps basil and musk, which generate some rejection in me. It reminds me of something I hate: Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene. I know L’Homme has many followers and a lot of personality, but it has a point that doesn’t suit me. I’ve given it many chances; sometimes I need several tests to change my mind, but this isn’t the case. I don’t like its aroma, development or dry down, even though it is well-constructed. Simply, my nose isn’t empathetic. AROMA: 5 SILLAGE: 7 LONGEVITY: 7 PERFORMANCE: 7
Of the 80s, I keep the music, the clothes and their perfumes. I retract my previous opinion: perhaps I tested VERSACE L’HOMME on a scorching day. To me, it’s a magnificent score; the leitmotif is leather, floating throughout like an Agamemnon. Green and citrus notes open with a spark, while the leather watches over and flowers (rose, jasmine, carnation) dance with spices and woods. The dry down is sweet and sensual, with the leather always alert. It has great sillage and longevity. Works day and night, all year round except summer. A magnificent exponent of the 80s.
Picked this up at Duty Free between a whisky and some boredom, and I didn’t hesitate for a second. The opening is a fresh, soapy blast with plenty of lavender, patchouli and leather—that dirty, brutal scent only true style lovers recognise. I fell in love instantly; nowadays it’s rare to find a fragrance like this from Versace, and it’s already my favourite from the house. The opening is strong but not suffocating, reminiscent of a cross between Kouros and Quorum. As it dries down, it becomes floral yet threatening: dry, animalic and smoky. It projects heavily at first, then settles into a well-perceptible trail with a classic, elegant and proud feel. A masterpiece that no one who loves this type of proposal should miss.
It may be as old school as you like, but this smells exactly like the barbershop lotion of the 80s, something I used to rush to wash off when I got home. Not even close to some comparisons with Azzaro; that soapy touch mixed with sweet and herbs could only be used in extremely cold climates. The composition isn’t bad, simply that my mind associates it with cheap shaving lotion and it loses its charm. Scent: 6. Longevity: 8. Projection: 8. Price: 10.
Buying this Versace jewel in 2018 was great luck. I think it’s incredible that I managed to do so last year, especially considering the Italian house is very commercial. This was the best men’s perfume under the Gianni Versace Empire. It’s not a love at first sniff, because on paper it looks good, it can seem strange or off-putting, making you think it’s not made for you. But when you apply it on the third day and it settles on your skin, you realise it’s beautiful. Its green and citrus opening is achieved, its floral notes exude quality, its woody base is masterful, and its leather is real, adding charm and sexuality. Highly recommended if you want a good perfume that will surprise by being unknown today. Give it a few days of trust; it won’t disappoint. An example of virilely beautiful perfume, but perhaps due to reformulations it suffers from scarce longevity, like many of its era. Of the few still available, I think this is headed for discontinuation like Zino Davidoff or Grey Flannel. Its days are numbered; very good perfumes at low prices now, but with the trade-off that their longevity isn’t what it used to be and generally they aren’t to the young customer’s liking. But for whoever knows how to enjoy it and make the most of it today, it’s a jewel. It’s like revisiting those Hollywood movies that are no longer made and that hook you on DVD.
Thanks to my friend Jerry Drake, I was able to try this jewel. Admitting it’s a great perfume, perhaps it’s just not made for me; it’s not my style. I’ve tested it several times and it’s not entirely to my liking. It reminded me of Acqua di Parma Essenza for its character as a classic barbershop cologne: soapy and fresh but not citrusy, and I find that one more usable. That said, the longevity and tenacity on the skin are very good; it sticks to the skin until the next day without issues.
Vintage, green with a citrus touch and something soapy. For being vintage, it’s not uncomfortable, and if you know how to pair it with your clothes, it will be perfect. Its projection, trail, and longevity are excellent; potent for an eau de toilette.
First impression after applying a sample. When I test it thoroughly, I’ll expand on the review, but I’ll say now it seems like exquisite soap. I can’t stop smelling the back of my hand for two hours. The citrus is in no way unpleasant, giving way to a superb soap, one of those where you don’t want to move your hand away from your nose. The artisanal kind of the past, not the current plastic stuff. I wanted to give a first impression, and given the price, I’ll definitely buy the full bottle. I just hope it performs well. What a delight. Edit: It’s a wonder, gentlemen. What a smell of old, clean soap, addictive. And for the price, a double wonder. I’m buying not one, but two bottles. What Versace.
At first, it might scare you: an acidic citrus blast that almost burns the nose. But it evolves and dries down harmoniously, like a symphony of leather, tobacco, woods, and powdery vanilla reminiscent of Caron Pour un Homme. In short, many well-assembled notes that smell classic yet cheerful. It’s not particularly original in concept, but the result has charm. It’s attractive, light, and strong all at once. A beauty. I’ve tried the current version and it performs well. For its low price, it’s on my podium of best fragrances. A discreet classic jewel and the best Versace I’ve ever smelled, with several body-lengths of difference over the second. Double thumbs up.
I’ve genuinely tried to get hold of it several times without success. It’s fresh but rough. I like classics like Eau Sauvage or Pour Homme, but that lemon note is a hit with some, whereas to me it smells like floor cleaner, like lemon bleach. It’s terrifying. What a frustration to want to like something and not be able to.
It smells to me like someone in a yellow checkered jacket, brown trousers, thick-rimmed glasses, shiny shoes, smoking an unfiltered cigarette while wiping sweat with a checkered handkerchief.
A balanced and elegant scent that might go unnoticed unless you have a keen nose or the personality to carry it. Finding modern fragrances with that oakmoss and refined floral base, accented by a subtle sweetness, is tricky. It’s a classic for all seasons that should never be missing from your wardrobe; it always makes you look good. It opens with classic citrus and a touch of fruit, followed by a jasmine so exquisite you almost want to drink it, before yielding to exotic and balsamic woods. It’s brilliant for summer due to its freshness and for winter thanks to the leather and incense notes. A myth created by the house that bears its name.
Once dry, it smells almost identical to Pour Monsieur Concentré.
Versace L’Homme is a fragrance that, in my country, Argentina, was discontinued for many years, so I always remained keen to try it. Reading reviews, I tried to form an idea of how it smelled. I was thrilled that many associated it with fragrances in the style of Armani Pour Homme, Eau Sauvage, Pour Monsieur, Boucheron Pour Homme, or YSL Pour Homme, because I love those old-school woody citrus scents. This year, 2021, Versace L’Homme was re-imported to Argentina, along with The Dreamer and Blue Jeans; all three were discontinued here. Then I had the opportunity to try it on skin and in a decant. To my surprise, they bear no resemblance to the ones mentioned. I found a very strong similarity with Quorum and Bogart One Man Show. It opens very citrusy with a slightly dense leather note. I will not say it is a bad fragrance, but it is not what I expected; I was looking for something in the style of Armani Pour Homme, with that Italian touch of citrus.
I am from Argentina. A vintage perfume: retro. A macho man to die for. It opens with a citrus note before turning soapy, slightly powdery, and not at all sweet. Personally, I like it because I am a man in my fifties. Longevity is moderate to low, considering it is not expensive. There is a catalogue fragrance in that line (not the same) that is cheaper (around six dollars) with better performance: more power, though somewhat grotesque and sweet; I am referring to Black Suede by Avon. With Black Suede, if they are not sisters, they are at least cousins. Let us say Versace is related to Black Suede, as the latter dates from 1980 and Versace from 1986. If your pockets are turned inside out, you could opt for the catalogue version to see where Versace is heading.
Delighted; this reminds me greatly of Jaguar For Men, yet it takes the top spot in terms of potency. Very explosive and invasive, but enjoyable. Best regards.
I gifted this to my dad for Father’s Day and he loved it. At 67, this vintage aroma suits him wonderfully. I found it in Buenos Aires for an excellent price of $30, so the quality-to-price ratio is top-notch. It has something particular that I don’t notice in others (probably due to my limited experience) and that is its projection is superb, almost matching its longevity on the skin. It projects about two metres and trails strongly for several hours (3 or 4), then drops down to fade on the skin after 6 hours. For me, those 6 hours are perfect; sometimes people confuse that initial strength with a duration of 12 hours or more and get tired of reapplying. I see this as a positive: it smells great when applied, and if it bores you, after 6 hours you can switch or be reassured it doesn’t last forever. It starts with strong citrus notes, which smell lovely; some compare the opening to Armani Eau Pour Homme, but they are nothing alike afterwards. Then comes the floral blend, where my dad and I detect more jasmine, with an initial tickle that I believe is cinnamon. The leather appears almost hissing, well-balanced and mixed with the flowers, subtle but present. This ticklish phase lasts about 2 hours, then relaxes into a slightly sweet, talc-like and soapy scent until the end. Ideal for cold and temperate climates; it can work in spring evenings, but in heat it becomes dense and invasive, perhaps annoying more than one person. Although perfumes have no age or gender, I see this essence as suitable for people aged 30 and over; it’s vintage, not ultra-masculine due to that soapy and talc-like phase, but it’s not unisex either, it’s in between. I invite you to try it. If someone under 30 likes it, go ahead! It will have an original scent, nothing mass-produced, which makes an impact because it doesn’t smell generic, even though it’s from the 80s, it doesn’t feel old and projects superbly (it can fill a room). Situations: with few sprays (max 3) it serves as a winter signature. I see it as more daytime, outdoors, for family outings, with friends, dates or formal events, although there are better options for the latter. I do not recommend buying blind unless you like it or are gifting it to someone who loves vintage or clean sophisticated scents.
I gifted this to my husband for a ridiculously low price; they describe it as having citrus notes, supposedly ideal for him. I arrived expecting to fall in love at first sniff, but was initially disappointed: it smelled very vintage, cloying and dated. However, it didn’t matter; he said nothing when he tried it, but upon application, the scent transformed completely into an all-day delight. Perhaps it’s the man’s pH that changes it so drastically; it suits him perfectly, giving him a true gentlemanly vibe, and I no longer regret it—I love it when he wears it. Now I understand the earlier comments: it’s totally ‘macho man’, barbershop style, with a good trail of about 4 hours (be careful, if you spray it like the world is ending, you might make someone dizzy). It has excellent longevity, lasting nearly 24 hours on the skin; you apply it in the morning and it’s still detectable the next day. The price is incredible; I don’t understand why a Versace fragrance is so cheap and undervalued. Isn’t it a favourite of many? Has it fallen out of favour with the male public? I don’t know, at least I didn’t know it before, but I’m delighted to have discovered it and gifted it. Blind buy approved!
We are looking at a fragrance from the past, without any pejorative connotation. With its flaws and virtues. It is honest, behaves well in any weather or occasion, giving the impression of a clean man or one freshly shaved. It won’t bring you compliments nor be a seduction bomb, but it will accompany you dignifiedly beyond six hours, creating an aura of a tidy man with things sorted out. Along the lines of Armani Code Pour Homme or Dior Eau Sauvage, perhaps leaning slightly more towards leather/moss and less wood/flower, but with great similarity and same performance. A notable for me. At the 30€ it costs in Spain, I recommend it.
Intensely disappointing. I tried it yesterday and wish I could frame what happened to my sense of smell when I had it on my arm. At first, a pale citrus that fades quickly, leaving notes that evoke Parera’s Dandy Man or the legendary Black Suede by Avon. Perfumes that would suit your skin if you were over 60. It smells talc-heavy and old-fashioned, like a senior in a care home during a ‘Fullness’ nappy change with cheap talc in the buttocks and scrotum. It’s linear, smelling of a clean, cared-for grandpa’s scrotum, with no further evolution, featuring notes that are superfluous. My trained nose doesn’t even pick them up. Final note: 4/10. Projection: 6/10. Longevity: 5 hours, first with a trail, then skin-scent only. Fixation: 5/10. Do not buy blindly, you will regret it.
Hello, I bought it recently. It’s a manual fougère and a good scent; it took me weeks to understand it, and now I absolutely love it. Pity its poor performance. The opening is a punch, perhaps like Polo Green (note: they aren’t similar, I’m just saying it’s strong), then it becomes soapy. It reminds me of Bogart Signature. I recommend it to fougère lovers. Regards.
It’s not ugly, but it smells like public toilets.
Citoyen begins with pure lemon and that typical disinfectant note, but dries down beautifully to a soapy scent, very Italian. Some compare it to Puig’s Quorum; both have a strong opening that evolves wonderfully. It feels clean, perfect for a white shirt. It’s a vintage classic, perhaps a bit dated now, but I love perfumes like this. I keep it in my collection, though I prefer Dior’s Eau Sauvage or Chanel’s Pour Monsieur: citrusy lemons, also old-school but with high elegance and quality, certainly wearable today. If I had to define Versace L’Homme in one word, it would be ‘rough’. It’s the lemony Kouros, just as Eau Sauvage smells like elegant 60s lemon, this is an 80s lemon with rock leather vibes. On the plus side, it has excellent longevity and an unbeatable price. At $30, it’s almost a must-buy if you like retro scents.
A classic Versace aroma mature and super masculine typical of the 80s with 20 notes and a slightly ‘older gentleman’ scent or in millennial terms grandad s cologne’. Nevertheless it’s a quality-assured masterpiece that like the current market isn’t for everyone. If you knew it from before owned it or like old school strong scents with the mythical combo of lemon basil cedar oakmoss leather amber and musk… it’s long-lasting persistent and penetrating. It’s a very good option. I see it as more versatile modern and stylish than competitors like Azzaro Pour Homme Armani Pour Homme Givenchy Monsieur Givenchy Gentleman 1974 Xeryus Antaeus by Chanel Kouros by YSL etc. This Versace L’homme despite the years hasn’t been reformulated downwards like others from its era. The gentlemen at Euroitalia maintain the status and quality preserving the original DNA decently. Additionally it has a fairly moderate price these days.
An 80s aroma with all the power. The current version needs five or six sprays to last more than six hours. A fragrance for a tough working man.
It’s a nostalgic journey straight to the 80s. I own it even though I don’t use it much; it’s not because I don’t like it but because it’s not for all current occasions. I use it for church at home with my wife or just for myself. It’s not one of my more social fragrances but I value and enjoy it immensely. It’s economical and discreet in its presentation.
Someone said it was a cross between Kouros and Quorum and I agree. It also seemed similar to Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui. It’s a great fragrance if you like strong 70s/80s aromas. If you don’t know those fragrances imagine it smells like shaving cream with dirty leather and natural lemon. Very masculine in my opinion.
Not suitable for novices. Only lovers of perfumery and true connoisseurs understand these period aromas. What makes me feel and remember is worth more than gold beyond purists seeking eternal longevity without generalising. It is a jewel of perfumery that defines character and elegance. Perhaps it doesn’t fit current moulds but it’s like meeting an old childhood friend: the same taste and genuine affection remain intact.
I understand many people call Versace L’homme a fougère though the barrier between categories is subjective. In my opinion it lacks lavender and has too much labdanum to be a proper fougère; it is precisely these characteristics that make it a delicious chypre. If you are a lover of golden age perfumery this L’homme is a must: apothegmatic leather and oakmoss a vigorous citrus opening and a floral heart that give a aura of soapy cleanliness supreme talc and a slight sweetness that makes it desirable. I was gifted it in December 2019 and repurchased it in 2023 when I ran out. It lasts very well and is enjoyable in any weather: in the cold the warm and floral parts stand out while in summer the citrus and spices dominate. Personally I love it.
L’homme is a chypre aromatic and leathery fragrance. The opening is a fleeting citrus burst that quickly moves to an aromatic floral phase with 70s and 80s accords like carnation and rose with a mossy touch. In the heart it can smell slightly animalic and musky a bit unpleasant but as it dries down it becomes more leathery with leather reinforced by labdanum while the flowers fade in intensity. It’s suitable for almost any season except summer. Ideal for those who love old school scents for the office or special occasions. It lasted nearly 8 hours with moderate sillage. I don’t recommend buying it blindly especially for younger people as it can seem very vintage unless you enjoy the 70s and 80s style.
Very elegant and classic but with little sillage and longevity.
Versace hasn’t always been the most innovative; their perfumes are like patchwork quilts of past trends with small twists to disguise a lack of creativity though they work strategically. Despite that they’ve managed to produce solid and successful proposals with a loyal following. L’homme is one of them: bitter citrus akin to Eau Sauvage at the start followed by that soapy floral phase very similar to Dunhill for men and finally an animalic touch reminiscent of Kouros or Antaeus. I recommend it because it’s high quality hasn’t been let down by reformulations or inflated prices is versatile for any weather and its bottle is a beautiful piece for collectors.
It’s the first fragrance from Versace for men: sophisticated striking and with that vintage touch that’s utterly enchanting. I have two sprays left so I’ll definitely be buying another. The olfactory pyramid is clear with leather dominating throughout. It opens citrusy and floral with plenty of punch and impact. In the heart the flowers are accompanied by woods and that signature leather. As it dries down the leather accentuates with dark herbal notes mixed with a touch of sweetness. It’s brilliant though sometimes I don’t get the most out of it but I hope to. It doesn’t like the heat so it’s better suited for evening wear. A perfect example of a scent that has held up well through reformulations and remains potent even overpowering yet exquisite.
