Je Suis un Homme Etat Libre d`Orange for men

This fragrance opens with a cirtus leather combination but the citrus just shows it face in the start and than hides, better yet leaves the country. what you are than left with is straight old dusty leather scent which is there to stay until the scent dies, which will take a long time as its one of those leather's that becomes you. not one of my best niche experience for me but i find it quit interesting.
(not to wear)

Imagine a family member had a leather jacket that you used to think was super cool when you were around the age of 9. And ten years from that time you visit your attic where you keep all the old things that no one uses anymore, and you go up there looking for one thing and suddenly you pull out this jacket and you are so in love with it that you clean the dusty leather jacket, and for some reason you wear it only to find it smelling like old leather and dust and than you feel oh well it was a nice jacket. thats the feeling i get from this scent.
Some people may like this scent but for me i would rather buy an old vintage leather jacket.



Scent 3/10 ( sorry not my my style)

I am currently wearing this, having stolen a bit from the sample I gave my boyfriend ~_^ I get the citruses from this, just a bit of leather and spice. This stuff smells of pure quality and it is very apparent that its a niche. It must be the bergamot and lemon that gives it a 'grapefruit' scent (smooth grapefruit like Lush's 'Whoosh', not raw like Guerlain's 'Pampelune'. God I love them both, and this). Grapefruit scents always make me deliriously happy, as do bright lemony scents and I definitely get that from this :) My boyfriend loves it as well. I would buy a full bottle sometime :)

very nice to my nose!

I can find cognac accord, myrte much myrte,a synthetic lemon
leather and cloves!!
the right dosage of bitter and a tip of sweet.
very manly but not staid or too much serious
like a man who drink cognac relaxed..casual


in the spirit of ELDO perfumes:cheerful and well done

The initial blast of leathery medicinal smell is almost too much, although impressive, but it quickly changes into something much more wearable and masculine in a very good way. See, this is not virility in the sense of the Hugo Boss crap that tries so hard to make a straight men sure of his sexuality that it's actually completely and utterly gay. (As in pathetic. And, you know, gay.) This man doesn't really need to prove anything to anybody. Il est un homme, quite simply, straight or not. And when you smell this gorgeous mix of dusty old leather and background cleanness on him, you might not even straight away recognize it as perfume. The citruses make it fresh, leather and patchouli turn it very skin-like and even sweaty. Very attractive.

After the quite conventional citrus / bergamot opening, Je Suis Un Homme turns to a classic bitter animalic leather frag with a slight modern twist. Maybe not what you would expect by one of the most controversial brand ever but yet a very interesting composition with an impeccable touch of class. Recommended!

Je Suis Ce Que Je Suis.

Rating: 8/10

This is a leather perfume on my skin. Unfortunately not a good one for me. I would definitely be attracted to this scent on a guy. I imagine is smells amazing on a guy. I would hope so with this name. I smell bergamot for a few seconds and then the leather kicks in. More like kicks the door in and takes over. I think the citrus notes make the leather smell even more dry and masculine. I don't smell any patchouli, but I do like the clove dry down.

I was really hoping to be able to wear this perfume and I'll be eternally jealous of any girl who can.

"Je Suis un Homme" says it all. This is a very elegant masculine fragrance.A frangrance you would probably smell on the red carpet at the Oscars. Classic charmers like Humphrey Bogart or George Clooney would be wearing this. I imagine a library with leather chesterfield sofas,draped with elegant males drinking fine french cognac and smoking imported aromatic cigars.
