Not my style, so it never really clicks for me. It smells like a classic barbershop aftershave with a spicy, leathery twist. The quality feels solid; the drydown leaves a pleasant woody and spicy base. Performance isn’t its strong suit: it starts intense and citrusy, like a bomb, but fades quickly to sit close to the skin. Lasting power is decent at 6-8 hours, but the projection is soft, more so than typical for an EDP of this type. Sometimes reminds me of certain Tom Ford fougères, though it’s not quite one. I see it as more masculine and for a specific crowd. Within that group, it’s versatile because it doesn’t overwhelm. Better suited for day than night. Scent: 6, Longevity: 8, Projection: 6, Value: 5, Versatility: 8, Uniqueness: 6, Overall: 6.5

Not my style and it doesn’t quite convince me. It reminds me of a classic barbershop aftershave, but with a different spicy and leathery touch. The quality feels solid, and the drydown leaves a pleasant woody base. Performance isn’t the best: it launches very intense and citrusy, like a bomb, but fades quickly to sit close to the skin. Lasting power is good (6-8 hours), but the projection is soft, more so than typical for an EDP. Sometimes reminds me of Tom Ford fougères, though it’s not quite one. I see it as masculine and for a very defined audience; within that group, it’s versatile because it doesn’t overwhelm. Ideal for day, not for night.

Seeing the bottle photo on Fragrantica leaves you speechless: is it a pistol with a phallic head? Does it shoot weird scents? It’s a strange, creative, subversive house using tricks to grab attention. I wanted to avoid a remake of the terrifying Secretions Magnifique, but Je Suis un Homme starts fresh and carefree with citrusy orange, a soft clove, and subtle leather. It’s not a heavy testosterone bomb. By evening, the power and projection drop, but it still smells good: quality citrus with an animalic touch. All in all, it smells nice, but the soft longevity prevents me from fully falling for it.
