  Simple but with a lot of attitude… a great perfume!

  This Amor pour Homme reminded me of the backbone of ST Dupont’s Passenger. I’m talking about sharing main notes across all three levels: top (mandarin and bergamot vs. citrus), heart (cardamom and spices vs. cardamom and pink pepper), and base (benzoin and rosewood vs. benzoin and galbanum). Both are spicy woody scents. Amor pour Homme lasts over eight hours, though it’s close to the skin with a moderate trail. Amor is from 2006 and Passenger from 2008, so it seems the latter borrowed something from the former, although its finish is more interesting. Amor pour Homme delivers as a good spicy woody fragrance.

  I believe it’s already discontinued because it’s hard to find; it’s a perfect sweet woody fragrance for dates and romantic dinners. If you can detect the rose and tea, longevity is about 6 hours and the trail lasts 2 hours. Worth having at least once in your collection. I give it a 7.5/10.

  Lost in the trail of the 2000s, this perfume is an original and seductive treasure. Smelling it and comparing it to today’s offerings highlights the magic of that era and its legendary list of discontinued scents—true dream fragrances that touched Olympus and are now being reclaimed. Amor pour Homme is fresh, dynamic, youthful yet magnetic, full of mystery and sensuality. It starts fresh, but soon a spectacular, spicy rose emerges, wrapped in herbs and woods. In that sweet and woody setting, the rose fits like a diamond in a necklace, transforming it into something precious and characterful. With Pierre Wargnye (the creator of Drakkar Noir) in charge, it couldn’t be any less. Projection is moderate, nothing bad, and longevity is very good. Cacharel Amor pour l’Homme stands out for not resembling current trends, yet it smells modern. Ideal for everyday wear that leaves an impression or special dates. In my humble opinion, it surpasses the dashing yet somewhat unpleasant Dior Homme. Warm, sensitive, magical, bold—a poker full of aces on the table.

  How good this perfume is. Sometimes you find aromas like this that make you ask why they’re discontinued. I don’t understand the reason for removing such different and captivating compositions, a fresh mix of citrus, sweet, and woody notes of very high quality. A pleasant and beautiful proposal from Cacharel, suitable for daily use and for talking very close to the person you like. Regular projection and more than decent longevity compared to many current aromas. Absolutely worth trying.

  What a great perfume. Sometimes you find scents like this and ask yourself: why are they discontinued? I don’t understand removing such different and captivating compositions, a fresh blend of citrus, sweet, and high-quality woody notes. A pleasant and beautiful proposal from Cacharel, suitable for daily use and for getting very close to the person you like. Regular projection and more than decent longevity compared to current aromas. Absolutely worth trying.

  Contrary to what people think, it’s a great fragrance. The rose note manages to be very masculine. After a slightly dirty opening, it has a behavior I love: evolution and unfolding with several beautiful chapters. The opening is citrusy, but not classic, emerging a nervous and subtle vetiver-tonka accord, crowned by a mature and timeless rose. The best part is when it settles after the heart phase, showing a subtle sweet woody ‘oriental’ vibe. That’s why it’s beautiful and current. It worked for me on mild to cold days with moderate application; it certainly works in heat, as afternoon and night are its favorite elements. Wish Cacharel gave more space in its men’s proposals; it’s a valuable brand. If you find it for under $60, it’s a safe buy. Sadly, very unfortunately discontinued. Scent: 10. Projection: subtle 2 hours. Longevity: max 6 hours. Recommended.

  Contrary to what many think, it’s a great fragrance. The rose note manages to be very masculine. After a slightly dirty opening for me, it has behavior I love: evolution and unfolding with several beautiful chapters. In the opening, the citrus are evident, but not classic; a nervous and subtle vetiver-tonka accord emerges, crowned by a mature and timeless rose that closes notably. What I like most is when it starts to descend after the mid-life, showing a subtle woody ‘oriental’ sweetness. For this reason, Amor is very beautiful and current. It has worked for me in temperate to cold days with moderate application; it can certainly work in heat, with evening and night being its moments. I hope Cacharel doesn’t give so much space in their men’s proposals; it’s a very valuable brand. If you see it for under 60 USD, it’s a safe buy.

  After trying it several times, I say I like it, which is strange because it went unnoticed and today it’s discontinued. Amor pour Homme by Cacharel starts with a pleasant sweet and citrusy smell, soft but not original. The citrus blend isn’t overloaded with mandarin, but rather highlights bergamot, both without being penetrating. Mandarin can sometimes be pungent, but not here. This blend is softened by a tea that gives it an herbal air. From the start, the sweetness of the rose and tonka bean stands out, light and not cloying. There’s also a mentholated touch from Brazilian rosewood, adding floral freshness. Everything is tender and delicate. I don’t notice the cardamom or fern from the description, nor the spices. Then a vetiver appears that combines with the mint from the sandalwood, communicating freshness and oxygenation. Starting from a discrete and sweet opening, it reaches a point where it seems a window opens with fresh, mentholated air that revives the perfume and takes it to an aquatic and ozonic level. The commercial video didn’t fit: energetic model, loud music, minimalist black and white setting, nothing matching the aroma. A simple guy or girl walking by the beach at sunrise with romantic music and soft colors would have been better. Sometimes I wonder what for so many creatives if the message is wrong. The video would be more suited for Invictus. It’s unisex with a lean toward an innocent teenager. It doesn’t create anything new nor has great personality, but it’s undervalued because its notes and phases are well-executed. It’s beauty in discretion that, in a world of cloying floral-fruity bombs, stands out as an elegant lady among a gang of rude youths.

  Well, I liked it. It’s a spiced rose, nothing feminine, with a slight sweet-fruity base. On my skin, it opens up completely spiced, and I don’t notice the bergamot or orange. The tea gives it a greener effect, though it’s not that noticeable (I’m surprised it’s the most voted note). Gradually, the rose and spices blend, with cardamom as the protagonist. As it dries down, the spices soften, the rose becomes more noticeable, and the scent turns slightly sweeter, never cloying, perhaps thanks to the tonka and benzoin. These notes add depth without being obvious and it doesn’t smell vanilla-like like others with tonka. Maybe that’s where the orange appears, not citrusy, but fruity. The woods don’t stand out individually but add masculinity to the rose. The performance is its handicap: it lasts hours but very close to the skin. I wish it were more intense at the start so I could smell it without getting close. It works in any climate except extreme heat, better for daytime due to low projection. It could be a good office scent, subtle but elegant, great with a suit or casual. Good fragrance but too subtle and never worth the crazy prices on the internet. The ingredients don’t smell artificial, which surprised me. Review of a sealed 2006 bottle I found at a small perfume shop.

  I liked it. It’s a spicy rose, nothing feminine, with a slight sweet-fruit undertone. On my skin, it opens fully spicy; I don’t notice bergamot or orange. The tea gives a green effect, but it’s not that noticeable. Gradually, the rose and spices blend, with cardamom as the protagonist. In this phase, I notice more spice than rose. As it dries down to the final stage, the spices soften, the rose becomes more present, and the scent turns slightly sweeter, never cloying, thanks to the tonka and benzoin that add depth without being obvious. It doesn’t smell vanilla-like either. Maybe that’s where the orange appears, not citrusy but fruity. The woods don’t stand out individually but add masculinity to the rose. Performance is its handicap: it lasts hours but very close to the skin. I’d prefer more intensity at the start to smell it easily. The bursts come and go. It’s used in any climate except excessive heat; better for daytime due to its low projection. Good option as an office scent, subtle yet elegant, great with a suit or casual wear. Good fragrance but too subtle and expensive online. The ingredients don’t smell artificial. Review of a sealed 2006 bottle.

  I don’t regret its loss… I tried it yesterday. I was going to buy it blindly, but luckily there was a tester. If I had bought it, I wouldn’t have regretted it, but it left me totally indifferent. It reminds me a lot of Davidoff’s GoodLife, with the same vibe as DKNY Men and a bit of Live Jazz. They’re all disparate, but it reminds me of all of them at some point. I think it’s the worst flanker (and that’s the original) in the Amor Pour Homme saga. I really highlight the Temptation version, which I’m almost in love with. This is green tea with citrus; as it settles, you notice the cardamom, tonka, and rosewood. Longevity is 6-8 hours, moderate trail for the first hour, then skin scent. It’s not a bad fragrance. For those who miss early-century fragrances that disappeared unjustly, it serves as an ally, and besides, it’s available at an incredibly low price.

  Tremendous perfume for cold weather and fresh climates! Avoid it in the heat. It’s a somewhat ‘rough’ sweet scent, that’s how it feels and stays; it doesn’t evolve much, but the trail is good. It has a good fixative and feels like a more refined Joop Homme, with that 90s vibe. Not something to buy blindly. I’m not sure if they reformulated it, because I have a 2015 bottle and it’s super strong.

  It’s a nice aromatic fragrance, with a warm touch like the colors of the bottle. It feels well-blended and natural; the rose doesn’t take center stage for me, which is lucky because I don’t usually like it that much. I see it as versatile and distinctive. Worth trying if you catch it at a good price.

  AMOR POUR HOMME CACHAREL: An misunderstood and poorly received perfume, perhaps because it wasn’t its time. An unfair commercial failure, as there are mediocre perfumes that sell and this extraordinary one that doesn’t. It’s charming, with rare olfactory sensations. Its opening is a relaxing and fresh herbal tea, but sharp due to the cardamom, with a soft yet masculine rose emerging subtly. An energizing combination between freshness and delicate floral, herbal, resinous, and spicy notes, with the look of a garden. It’s jovial, masculine comfort, little known but fulfilling, original, and sophisticated. It’s not scandalous; it’s subtle, coquettish, and romantic, ideal for approaching a woman without fear of rejection. Preferably at night, not for bars or clubs, as it’s not loud, but for enjoying with a partner, creating a bond, or courting. To me, it seemed fabulous; despite resembling others, I find it particularly original. If you find it at a good price, don’t think twice, go for it. Penitently, very sadly discontinued. Scent: 10. Projection: subtle 2 hours. Longevity: max 6 hours. Recommended.

  AMOR POUR HOMME by Cacharel: a perfume that wasn’t understood or embraced, perhaps because it wasn’t its time. It was an unfair commercial failure; there are bad perfumes that sell and this, extraordinary one, didn’t. It’s a shame because it’s charming. It shows olfactory sensations we rarely see today. The opening is a relaxing, fresh tea with a hint of cardamom, and a soft, masculine rose emerges subtly. It’s an energizing blend of freshness and delicate floral, herbal, resinous, and spicy notes, giving the air of a living garden. It’s jovial, comfortable, and very masculine. It’s original, sophisticated, not loud, subtle, coquettish, and romantic—ideal for approaching a woman without fear of rejection. Better for night, not for bars or clubs because it’s not loud, but for enjoying with a partner and creating attraction. To me, it’s been fabulous, even though others say it’s similar to others; I find it unique. If you find it at a good price, don’t think twice, go for it. What a pity, sadly discontinued. Scent: 10. Projection: subtle for 2 hours. Longevity: max 6 hours. Recommended.

  Useless review of the original. Before the 2000s, Cacharel had great clothes and fragrances, and Amor pour Homme was their last big hit. I fell in love instantly: super sweet, fruity, floral, and herbal, all very warm. The sweetness was so strong the citrus notes tasted more like plums than mandarin or orange, the rose blended with fern, and it closed with warm woods. It projected a lot and lasted forever. Later I tried Dior’s Fahrenheit White, which was similar but more woody. What a shame both had tragic endings: this one reformulated and the Dior discontinued. Maybe that shift toward sweetness, though pleasant, wasn’t profitable; what we do know is that those were the last days of traditional, quality perfumery. After that, it was all flankers, reformulations, clones, and niches—now everything has to be niche. Ugh.

  Closing out 2025, I stumbled upon a sealed 2007 batch of this in 125ml with the original cellophane, and I just can’t stop smiling. It’s pure gold, a gem that was stored perfectly while the world forgot about it, giving it a real exclusivity. I agree with Jerry7474: it’s very masculine, approachable, with that 90s vibe, yet warm and sensual—perfect for enjoying with your partner. On my skin, longevity and projection are moderate, but if I spray it on clothes, it projects a lot. It gives me everything I’m looking for; you can definitely smell the tea, rose, and sandalwood. I’m going to save this for special occasions. There’s nothing like the joy of owning this treasure. Edit: moderate projection but beastly longevity—I put it on 13 hours ago and it’s still there, soft but noticeable. It’s clear people used to make things with real passion. Edit 2: Today, 04/02/2026, I have another nearly full 2007 tester version, so I now have two bottles and two of Temptation. I’m officially done!
