Rykiel Homme Sonia Rykiel for men

I loved it when it came out, used it a lot back then. It has that interesting contrast between citrus and vanilla, the "human" nutmeg in between and a great base which makes it "I'm not the man you think I am". It slightly reminds me of Escape but this one is a far more sophisticated aromatic fougere.
So if you find it, grab it without any second thoughts. It's a bargain in any way. And you'll smell just beautiful!

i dont like a little more vanilla.i think it could be more watery jasmine.
it is very smiliar with Comme des Garcons 3 (without vanilla) .cdg 3 is more clear and powerfull than this.(and more expensive).

Top notes are very green & fougere,but middle & base notes develop into a deep,spicy accord.Perfect for daytime wear.Great men's fragrance.

I bought this scent when I could not afford Eau de Cartier and my mother called it "poor man's" EdC...

It actually has some notes in common but I think it lasts longer (the EDP) than the EDT of Cartiers juice which my uncle continues to buy despite the fact it fades too quick..."But it's Cartier" he says...give me Rykiel Homme.

The trilogy of heavenly citrus notes has sprigs of mint and cardamoms sweet smooth scent flavoring but not overpowering it. The cypress and violets' woody green trail is warmed with subtle spices and a fresh fig leaf or two. The aromatic basenotes are the perfect ending to a sweet heady juice as the amber and resins envelope the woods while the vetiver draws near and it all settles down with a soft cloud of that mysterious tree resin styrax which is slightly incensy and a little bit rotted like rich forest dirt.What a juice...

Sillage: slightly above average
Longevity: 4-6 hrs. depends on temp.
Overall: 4.5/5

This is perfect with jeans and tee but it is also good with khakis and a cashmere hoody, rich and varied but not too high priced. The flacon is cute too and it's sweet but never feminine...

What a pleasant surprise. I have just received my 125ml bottle of the EDP and I'm very happy.

It's hard to detect the individual notes described above, as it seems so well blended. To my nose I can smell a definite minty floral accord, but not a strong mint. It almost smells like the mint is an afterthought.

I imagine that this could be worn just as easily with a suit and tie, as it could very casually with jeans and a jumper.

This smells so much more expensive that it actually is. Totally underrated!

Definitely one of my all-time favourites.Great product.

This is my everyday staple fragrance for 10 years now and no matter how many times I try to stray, I "always" go right back to this fragrance. It's so fresh and clean smelling! No joke... Evertime I wear Sonia Rykiel Homme, or first spray it on my skin, It reminds me of the smell of a very upscale department store, or better yet, almost the smell of brand new, high end clothing and that's such a wonderful aroma!

this is a nice and underestimated fragrance.simple but a form of elegance is instilled in this.

I got the EDP strength in this.

It's a beautiful scent, opens with Yuzu, Orange, and Mint spiced with Cardamon. The heart joins in with light Green notes, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon. A Jasmine Floral note balances the fragrance, bringing it to yet another level. There is a little bit of sweetness in Rykiel Homme as a result of a light Vanilla mixed into the Floral. The first dry down level is Fir resin and Musk, later joined by a base of Sandalwood, Cedarwood, and light Amber on the bottom-most level. The EDP really has staying power, stretching each note out to it's maximum.

Average sillage on me, even with a heavier application. In the EDP all the levels have a respectable longevity. This is an every day scent for me, but it can also be used as a 'night' cologne. The Musk is a very sexy musk, not cloying. The Conifer note blends very well into the Musk, and props it up.

I love it!
