Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme Fragrance Reviews:
add reviewI do have to say ... not bad , not bad at all , only not for me . I think it is a winter time perfume for romantic people . A lot of flowers present in a very strong perfume .

I adored the long-lasting, deep-down leather/smokey/tar-like chords that
characterise this seminal fragrance and that subsequently set a new paradigm as the 1980s unfolded. Although I found it too powerful and a bit 'heady' for daytime wear, it nonetheless became a 'go to' fragrance for me over many years.
Revisiting Van Cleef and Arpels Pour Homme a couple of decades later is interesting, as still manages to captivate the senses. However, the recent EDT I purchased seemed more like an eau de cologne than EDT and lacked the quintessential heavyweight chypre/leather punch and longevity that I've associated with the fragrance.
Indeed, I found a 25 year old tester in my collection and, despite its age, seemed far more luxurious and opulent compared to the recent EDT. Is it possible that the recipe has been attenuated in strength over the years by Van Cleef and Arpels, I wonder?
Nevertheless, despite my reservation, this fragrance is a geniune Classic alongside, for example, the wonderful Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene and Ralph Lauren's Polo from the 70s.
It will be interesting to see if this fragrance group has a renaissance of sorts, as I have been struck by the recent forays into this genre by Tom Ford and his stunning Tuscan Leather and Moss Breches from his Private Collection. Andyray
