Tumulte pour Homme Christian Lacroix for men

This was the only Lacroix that worked. Of course it flopped, like all others. This is unfortunate because it is one the best cedar based compositions ever. I found a bottle at a closeout store in 2007 and grabbed it.

For the most part, it is cedar throughout. It is like fine esssential oil, very tactile. Yet give it some time to develop and it has depth. The violet is faint. Labdanum, sandalwood and smoky incense become appearent in a few hours and it becomes a luscious ancient box of mystery.

Poor marketing or a bad reputation ended the fashion house. This is worth getting a small bottle however, if you can find one!

Yes it is mainly cedar, yes it is linear but what a wonderful scent this is !I can't stop sniffing my wrist when I apply Tumulte pour homme. When I wear it, very strangely I smell waves of cedar and incense coming up from time to time and then going away ; this is unique sensation.
I don't understand how such a beautiful scent can be discontinued .Hopefully, it is still available on the french ebay.

The bottle is exquisite. The scent is ethereal and the designer a demigod.

PS: No, my name is not Edina Monsoon by the way....

I just received a bottle of Tumulte today through the mail, I ordered it through Fragrancenet.com at a reasonable price 28euros/50ml.

Thanks to the raving reviews here, I made this blind buy as this fragrance is totally unknown in the stores over here in Greece.

Lovely cedar notes conquered my wrist upon just a single spray.
Oh my, that's one strong fragrance, destined to invade the cold winter nights of the ladies who would happen to pass near me!
It's quite linear in structure and development but it never gets boring, thanks to a very balanced and modest use of the woody and aromatic notes, it's not very spicy either.
What I love about this fragrance is that it does not resort to some overwhelmingly sweet aromatic or robust woody result, in fact the aromatic - floral - spicy notes support and complement the basic cedar character.

A fascinating and irresistible result that you should remember that no matter how much you like it, you'd better avoid using it during summertime, it's just too strong for hot climates!

A new hit for wintertime:-)

My overall rating: 8/10

If you like cedar and can wear CDG Kyoto, then this you will like! Four cedars, incense and some musk - that's about it. I can, in no way whatsoever, detect the plum, pelargonium (come on, it's just geranium!) or the violet. Very linear and kind of a cedar "soliflore" if you will. Very difficult to find now, but I managed to snag a bottle of the EDT and aftershave from Marshalls a few years back. Now it's nearly impossible to find - at least in the states.

smells really good.got to agree with "guillermostf" as this is a great woody smell.lots and lots of cedar.stays close to the skin and in no way is this unisex.i just cant imagine any woman pulling this off unless she's thinking of a sex change.projection and sillage are above average for me.not worn it to work as yet so cant really tell if i will smell it after a grubby working day.but so far it's good enough for me.the bottle design is a masterpiece.very unusually eye-catchy.this fragrance is a must have for the discerning man.

nice bottle !!!!!!!

Where can I buy Tumulte men? I can't fins it. I'd appreciate a answer :-)

Where I can find Tumulte men in Milan?

Soliflors are scents based on the notes of a single floral essential oil. In this case, it would be a soliwood, a scent based on the single note of a woody essential oil, in this case, red cedar, the same wood used for making pencils. So, it does share points in common with Gucci pour Homme, and as others said in other communities of fragrance aficionados, to Commes des Garcons 2.
So all you get from Tumulte is cedar, which might be heaven for those loving it, or a put-off for those who don't like, or the ones looking for more traditional styles in terms of complexity.
Setting its simplicity aside, IMHO it is a ver nice blend.

Oh my god, i can't stand the cedar aroma. It reminds me of funeral smell here in Indonesia. So, it's definately unwearable for me.

I don't care how this smells, I just love the luxurious bottle! It's a masterpiece!
Unfortunately this is hard to find in the store! :(

Verdammt! Ich finde es nicht auf dem Markt in Deutschland!

were i can buy tumulte for men now ? sincerely fernando .

i must write it one more time,,, most similar, if not practically the same smell to gucci rush is with no doubt Pal Zileri sartoriale!!! i also try tumulte pour homme,, yes it is a little similar to rush, but not as sartoriale.....

wow, this is so unique and long lasting perfume! And thank God, not so popular as other! Warm, sexy and deep. The bottle also is a small masterpiece

I adore this magical cedar. Yup..it is very linear scent. You can only detect cedar. Cedar to the max. But not the hamster cage cedar or the pencil shaving cedar though. However, I only wear it as my night scent. Very sexy and woody. Long lasting too.

An ode to cedar. Very similar to Gucci Rush, but with excellent lasting power, thank God!

This fragrance was a little too spicy for me. It was very noticeable yet it hit me wrong even after I waited. The dry down was ok, but the top was just too much for me. This is definitely a special cologne.

Last week, I went to the post office to pick up a package containing a bottle of Tumulte Pour Homme I had purchased a few days before for a bargain. It was an awful, grey, rainy day. And as I arrived home and was looking at the rain falling, I sprayed some of the fragrance on my wrist. I immediately felt as if I were sheltering from the rain in a (rather nice) wooden shack, reminding me of some childhood memories.

This of course seems to imply that TPH is mainly cedar but thankfully that is only a half truth. The top notes of juniper berries and bay leaf are there, but you have to be very quick indeed to notice them. I missed them completely upon first trial, but now I do enjoy them for the average ten seconds they last on my skin. After that the cedar takes over mercilessly. Of course, with cedar, there is always a risk of smelling like pencil shavings, and I guess that happens with TPH, but only for a few minutes. The perfume then warms up on your skin and the rather dry cedar notes become a little bit more mellow, which is a good thing.

And there is more warming up in store, because then the incense kicks in. To me that's the best moment in what is otherwise a fairly linear fragrance. After a while the incense plays equal with the cedar, then starts to dominate and you end up with a lovely, very warm, intoxicating drydown.

I read somewhere that TPH could be considered as a general template for cedar and incense scents, and I think that is spot on. It's a good, very pleasant fragrance in its own right, and I do enjoy wearing it but perhaps it could be less linear — there are no surprises along the way. It would be great for example if the top notes remained for a bit longer because they do smell great while they last. I could also see a few other things that could be added to the template, such as a hint of kaffir lime leaves or perhaps a touch a pimento in the top to middle transition? I imagine that most of us would tweak it differently...

The sillage is very good, and so is the longevity: 6 hours+ on me, which is very rare. On a side note, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous.

So far, the greatest woody fragrance in the market. Cedar rules.

Beautiful woodsy scent that I bought for my husband, but I wear it too. The juniper opening is startling and the cedar in the base is among the most lovely there is. This is a real sleeper scent and I was thrilled to find it.

I enjoy the women's version in the summer, but love the masculine Tumulte in the fall and winter.

One of my favourite fragrances ever...awesome combination of different kinds of cedar, awesome bottle design...

I adore this fragrance on my fiancee, he is so sexy when he wears this intoxicating, mesmerising, woody, intimate, musky scent!! I can't get enough of my man in this scent! If you want to sex your boyfriend/ husband/ fiancee up in an understated way, get him some of this!
