• Carven_Homme

  *Carven-Homme* is undoubtedly one of the best oriental fragrances I’ve ever tried in the world of perfumery. At first, there are parts that remind me of Davidoff Relax. Once it dries, it’s inevitable to compare it due to its huge similarity with Gucci Envy For Men. It has excellent longevity that surpasses 8 hours on my skin and an extraordinary sillage, so I wouldn’t ask for more. The most interesting part is left for the end: it turns into a hyper-relaxing and stimulating aroma that encourages you to feel more energetic or in a better mood. I’ve read English reviews mentioning similarities with Jaipur Homme and that it was synthetic, but at least I didn’t notice it. If you’re looking for Envy and can’t find it, I assure you Carven-Homme could be an almost twin brother; from my point of view, I recommend buying it blind, and comparing prices, it’s much more economical. I’m fascinated by its dry down, incredibly aphrodisiac and sensual; the nice thing is that it allows me to feel things so nice that I want to eat them. I don’t understand why they discontinued it. It’s sad but it’s reality: unique and intense, pure and infinite masculinity. I no longer believe they will release another work of art like Carven-Homme. Thank you for existing, I will remember you eternally and while I continue to enjoy you until you run out, my friend.

  My favorite fragrance, too bad it’s discontinued and I could only buy it once; I keep it as my treasure. It’s an elegant floral fragrance, almost unisex and quite warm. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under 25; if you find it, buy it now because there’s no stock left and the price has gone through the roof. It’s really excellent, and I’ve never smelled anything like it.

  I bought this bottle blind for three reasons: 1. Because it’s from the house Carven, one of the brands that generates the most pleasant memories for me, especially their Vetiver, a classic festive masculine scent I knew from my childhood, as it was the perfume my mom would give my dad. 2. The typical hype, due to the similarity many attribute to the legendary Envy For Men by Gucci, a piece I also own. 3. An unbeatable price. Does Carven Homme resemble Envy? Maybe it’s unfair to reference one perfume against another more ‘coveted’ one, but comparisons give us something to talk about. The similarity exists, but there are marked differences: Gucci is more varied and dynamic, with an opening that splits into sour tones of ginger and mandarin, then sandalwood and spices, mutating into a floral and vanilla-framed dry down with tobacco and leather. Carven has a simpler structure, with a sweet and spicy opening, less sour and spicy, where cinnamon and sandalwood are the stars in a softly powdery aura, without the green or incense of Gucci. When dried, they are almost identical, with a base of musk, vanilla, and amber. The cinnamon in Carven reminds me a bit of Le Male by Gaultier. What’s the percentage of similarity? It depends on each person. For me, it ranges between 60% and 65%; it doesn’t take away from Carven, which is good on its own. It’s not for all four seasons, nor restrictive; it depends on the skin; I see it as a night wear or for cool days. Calibrating sprays is key. If you can get it at a good price, it’s a highly recommended piece to collect. Rating: 8.0.

  Is Carven Homme and Gucci Envy in there? I’ve been buying Carven for a while now based on rumors that it’s identical to the powerhouse Envy, but now I’m wondering: has anyone in their life actually tried it? To my taste, they don’t resemble each other that much. They follow the same path, and maybe one note reminds you of that green, spicy ginger touch, but from there to being the same, almost identical, or a clone? Nah, never. Carven has a weird opening, very vintage, like an old or rancid perfume; although it fades that sensation as it dries, in my opinion, that smell is present throughout the perfume’s life. Wow, it has great longevity, it easily lasted 10+ hours on me. I also smell a lot of wood, green touches, and cinnamon at the base. It’s a very office-appropriate fragrance, and it’s one of those where you need personality to wear it, as well as age, I think around 35+. Great performance, hard to find, it’s not an Envy, but it’s good.
