L'Homme Sage Divine for men

I mostly just get Juicy Fruit from this. The incense eludes me.

I have tried this twice now, and I really like it. It has a very spicy/herbal masculine vibe, tangentially similar to Azzaro PH. It seems fairly loud when I first apply, but as it dries down, it hangs much closer to the skin. This is a very smooth scent; I get a peppery warmth from the saffron, a little spiky punctuation from the patchouli (but nothing harsh), and some very nice soft woods in the base. I don't detect the soapiness that some others have noted. The longevity is very good, 6-8 hours. This is one of those fragrances I can see myself craving to wear from time to time, thus it's going on my full bottle purchase list. Grade: Solid A

L'Homme Sage opens like a firework. A tiny and barely perceptible stark (mandarine) shot towards the dark sky that explodes with a magnificent and stunning effect (saffron). Wow! At this point the firework usually starts to fade out but with L'Homme Sage it's like witnessing to the "gran finale" as somky frankincense, cardamom and woods immediately start to shine surrounded by a consistent dose of sweet amber and achieving an incredible lasting power.

Overall, after the sparkling opening, L'Homme Sage has a warm character, It's comfortable, deep, velvety and kinda meditative. A bold (but not loud) composition that has a solid structure and some weight and remarks it's presence with a very distinctive allure.

L'Homme Sage is here to prove that in modern perfumery is still possible to produce a concoction of ingredients fit to be called a FRAGRANCE! Very Good!

Rating: 8-8.5/10

I went to London to try out some of the new releases and was extremely non-plussed by all of them and just when i thought nothing was going to grab me i gave this a spray....absolutely fantastic. Spicy,manly and long-lasting with a nice smokey incense feel in the dry-down. it smells expensive and well made and will be on my 'to get' list.

This scent is simply amazing. It was just so rich, warm and spicy, smoky yet sweet. Such a complex bouquet that mixes so well. The only thing keeping me from purchasing this is the sillage.I don't like that it stayed so close to my body. It had decent wearing power on me.

I love this fragrance! Very different and discrete which I like as I'm not a fan of sillage monsters. I like a skin scent that becomes a part of you rather than trying to have a life of its own. Also this fragrance stays with me until I wash it off.

good review flannelman.
I could use the same words but I wont, english is not my main language so I'm not used with all the words.

Great fragrance here! I like it.
I like the basenotes, and safron well mixed in this concoction.
Reminds me costume national intense, with a plus of incense. Vey well crafted.


9/10

L'Homme Sage opens in a surprising fashion with a very intense, rich, warm powdery blast of saffron and, to a lesser extent, licorice. Quite a shock — unexpected but enjoyable! Citrus and milder fruit notes take the second role in the top notes.

After a couple of exhuberant minutes, the fragrance's warmth continues to develop. But it's definitely a different kind of warmth: less fiery/spicy, more subdued and enveloping. Smoky incense notes are the first to join in and gradually start to dominate the saffron, of which only a discrete spicy trail remains. The progression then continues at a slower but definite pace, and L'Homme Sage starts to glow with warm amber and patchouli, leading us to a discrete but gorgeous woody-ambery drydown. An unusual, compelling, rich, warm scent.

The Sage, it is said, is quiet, serene, and does not boast of his riches. And so is this fragrance. Wear it when in search of peace and quietness. It will warm your spirits and stay close to your skin.
