Positive Reviews of Pour Un Homme Le Soir by Caron

One of the best stuffs I've smelled in a long time, a fantastic improvement on the original and glorious Pour Un Homme de Caron (1934) and for us a sort of new age Chanel Egoiste's languid (less spicy/resinous and virile but far more refined, silky almondy and balmy) cousin for the unmatchable contemporary classy man of the new millennium. A perfect masterwork of languid decadent elegance, unmatchable aristocratic dandyism and hypnotic silkiness, a fragrance to die for (according with my taste) in its impeccable symphony of strict olfactory balancements. Pure class, no question about it, a nocturnal modern Pour Un Homme's version whispering poetic words of seduction after the sunset. Pour Un Homme De Caron Le Soir Eau de Parfum Intense was launched in the 2022 and is a magic amber fougére focused on a stunning main accord of moderately powdery iris, aristocratic lavender, liquorous woods (oakwood extract, sourced from reclaimed cognac casks) and silky vanilla. Violet complements orris root providing in the meanwhile a more stiff masculine undertone while cypress is magically laced to lavender in order to provide a lusty aromatic green vaguely "anisic" touch. Finally tonka bean soothens the elements and enriches the smooth vanilla with a delicious sort of nutty almondy vibe while a tad of frankincense enhances the silky spicy captivating trail. The aroma even remains masculine, super balanced and restrained but in a silky and symphonic way. Le Soir is a more modern silky/suedish, spicy and cleaner version of the original more citric/woody/aromatic and less floral Pour um Homme de Caron Edt (1932), namely a pillar of classicism and one of the first semi oriental approaches to perfumery. Le Soir is a fragrance with the same silky elegance I can feel in fragrances as Cartier Declaration d'un Soir (2012) or Declaration Parfum (2018). Lavender, the absolute protagonist, is silky, boisé, vaguely coniferous, almondy and kind of anisic liquorous, revealing out all its aristocratic vaguely old-school appeal in a new modern soapy vest (two lavender essences has been implemented and combined, one from the Provence region of France and the other from Bulgaria to reveal their different level of intensity). To conclude I'd recommend this fragrance to men loyal to tradition but absolutely contemporary and always impeccable in style, shifted in to the future and seductive, a modern kind of seducer always well trimmed, reassuring and rich in culture and knowledge.

What a gem from Caron, a very nice, pleasant gentleman fragrance that stands between the iconic brothers Pour un Homme and Yatagan . Creamy, wonderful combination of lavanda, a touch of floral notes well balanced by the woody one. It can be worn all year round, but of course as the name suggests , it is perfect in the evening and for any special occasions too.
