I bought it in Santiago, Chile, for my dad, and it’s very potent. The opening is incredible, full of sweet yet fresh aromas, typical of Lapidus. The olfactory pyramid is very noticeable; I love it. The mint, orange blossom, and bergamot give an exquisite orangey touch. Then vanilla takes over and lingers until the end. The best part is that green tones emerge at the end, after a moment of chocolatey fusion from everything blending together—probably sandalwood and patchouli… very intense, masculine, elegant, and formal, perfect for winter and for men over 30. Thanks.
This perfume shows how to use vanilla without getting dizzy. For those who truly love it. On my skin, after two hours, it smells like vanilla and praline—it’s beastly. I LOVE this Ted Lapidus. It’s perfect for the night because the vanilla is potent but doesn’t overwhelm the nose. Great longevity, sillage, and projection. 100% recommended for vanilla lovers.
Could be the Cinderella of Ted Lapidus, and what luck that it’s the least commented one, because it’s a wonder that hasn’t become mass-market. Roucel is a great master, and that guarantees quality. It opens with orange blossom and lots of mint, a soft and fresh prelude. Vanilla is the queen here—not cloying or overpowering, but soft and defined, guiding everything toward a floral and woody path. The base stays with oriental notes and woods, lasting all day with a trail that goes from moderate to potent. It’s refined, elegant, and easy to wear, ideal for evening, putting you in a good mood. Both noses nailed it: excellent vanilla throughout the pyramid, never intrusive but addictive. It’s the crown jewel, elegant and discreet, fortunately.
Very good. I was surprised by its good price compared to other big-name perfumes. They say it resembles A*Men, but it has nothing to do with it. It’s long-lasting, has personality, and is highly recommended because it’s a distinct scent from the mass-market ones.
In a night test for dinner and chatting with a drink, this TL was a success. It has ideal trail and longevity, and the night suits it perfectly. While you’re talking, it accompanies you with great naturalness and receives unexpected compliments. I confirm it’s an excellent night perfume, and the next day you still feel it for hours. 10/10 for my personal taste.
I’ll just add that this Lapidus is a great, little-known creation, like Lui by Rochas, sharing the same year and era philosophy: presence and singularity. I love Lui, but I like this one even more. Its aromatic dimension is horizontal and harmonious in the first three hours, with a spectacular opening. It maybe reminded me of Creed’s Millesime Imperial; they aren’t the same, but there’s something that makes them similar, niche-level quality. Perfect for autumn-winter, works great in polluted environments. Longevity and sillage are top-notch. If you see it, try it; if you like it, buy it—the quality-to-price ratio is extraordinary. The bottle is pretty, retro, and elegant in aluminum.
Thanks, friend, for your review; I’m glad if I helped you find your perfume. It’s not easy with these that aren’t popular, it depends on our pH, olfactory preferences, and how we carry the fragrance. 2003 was a great year; fragrances that define the era. Its character is defined by the vanilla, with the other notes supporting it, and supporting well is difficult. The important thing is that you feel good, carry it well, and look better. If that happens, happiness goes with you.
It’s worth noting that historically Ted Lapidus isn’t high-end but rather mid-range, yet they didn’t fail with this scent. Pour Lui should be used in cold climates; vanilla needs ‘tongs’ in tropical zones because it can be overwhelming and out of place. In North America or cold regions, it performs differently than in the equator, where I can’t imagine it in any season. It’s a must if you collect scents by brand rather than specific fragrances, but you should test it first. If you’re looking for regular use, consider the rules of blind buying.
Tastes can’t be written in stone… I bought it blind because of the price and design, but it doesn’t convince me. It feels heavy and suffocating. It was created in 2003 and feels vintage to me; it takes me back to the 70s: colored lights, Bee Gees, Tony Manero with perfume up to his eyebrows, and cigarette smoke. It has good longevity, lasting hours, but due to the heaviness on my skin, I doubt it has high-quality ingredients.
Patchouli, vanilla, amber, and woods… warm and full of character. I missed out on something so special by trying this alongside Lapidus Pour Elle. It’s a sweet, balanced explosion that takes gourmand into a vigorous, masculine territory: raw vanilla, spicy patchouli, and thick amber. It’s a beast that reminds me of A Men, Joop, or Gaultier 2. Extremely sweet, almost androgynous but definitely for a man. Wonderful and with a beastly trail.
For anyone who loves oriental fragrances with vanilla as the star, here is one of the best options. Magnificent work by Maurice Roucel. It makes its presence clearly known; it’s very persistent with good projection, ideal for cold days. Along with Rochas Man (also by Roucel), these are my favorites featuring a dominant vanilla note.
So glad this happened to you the same way it did to me! Coincidentally, while searching in the style of Sherlock Holmes, we stumbled upon this delightful piece: TL Pour Lui. I’ve always been looking for the discontinued Oscar de Balenciaga, which I loved for winter, but I think this TL has some similarities. I’ve loved wearing it at night when it’s cool; it’s going to get tons of compliments this Chilean autumn.
I’m a disaster when it comes to blind buys—I have a 40% failure rate with these—but this TL by Ted Lapidus was a total hit. I absolutely love these scents; if I had to define it, it’s like mixing half of Dior Homme with the other half of Animal. The projection is moderate, so you need quite a few sprays to make it noticeable, but the scent itself is a 10/10 and the longevity is a solid 6/10.
Good perfume for vanilla lovers, great price. Personally, it hasn’t quite won me over, though I admit the quality-to-price ratio is a solid option. My rating is a 6.
They’re crazy, it doesn’t resemble A*Men at all. What stands out most is the mint: in A*Men it’s leafy, here it’s like liqueur. Unique, with a heavy trail, for people with strong personalities.
Top-tier perfume, very distinct. Smells like a blend of mint, cedar, and a musky base: it’s light yet powerful, with elegant freshness. It conveys elegance, sobriety, and strength, which I absolutely love.
Incredible longevity, truly very long-lasting. However, sometimes I think all fragrances should have this as a default rather than a merit, since it’s the bare minimum one can expect given the high price, at least here in Argentina. Does anyone else find the opening similar to Guerlain Homme? As a negative, to be honest, it feels somewhat synthetic to me.
I was already eager to grab this perfume because finding anything in Tenerife is a nightmare. Physical stores almost never carry Lapidus or Bogart, and online shops that ship to the Canary Islands are scarce due to skyrocketing customs fees. I could only find classics like Homme or Black Soul. I could have risked trying something else by checking notes and reading reviews, but this was the closest to my taste. In the end, I took advantage of a trip to mainland Spain to order it online at a steal, and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. I love that sweet vanilla touch that isn’t cloying, mixed with the freshness of mint and the floral notes of orange blossom and lavender. It seems perfect for any occasion and lasts and projects way longer than many more expensive perfumes. I don’t see the resemblance to Mugler’s A*Men that some claim; to me, it smells more like a blend of Versace Eros for the vanilla and mint, and Guerlain Habit Rouge for that acidic, slightly vinegar-like point. In a way, it’s like a Habit Rouge where they swapped the citrus for fresher mint. Anyway, no regrets, and I’m dying to try more from the line. Scent 9, Longevity 8, Projection 8, Value 10, Overall 8.

Created by TL, a masterpiece. Just one detail: the box should warn ‘Adults Only’. It’s a mature fragrance; I don’t think it’s for anyone under 35. I’m obsessed with the deep, subtle vanilla it unleashes. Ideal for work, it projects seriousness and adult elegance without being intrusive. Wear it during the day in autumn and winter or on spring nights.
I’ll just say one thing… I already have my sixth bottle. The quality and scent for the price are incredible. I’m a vanilla fanatic, and this fragrance is executed really well. I’m going to buy a couple more just in case they discontinue it.
Magnificent creation by TL. Just one drawback: the box should carry a warning: ‘Adults Only’. It’s a mature fragrance, not suitable for under 35s. I love the deep, subtle vanilla that commands attention. Excellent for work, projecting seriousness and adult elegance. It’s not intrusive. I use it during the day in autumn and winter, and for spring nights.
Weird, considering the risky reputation of Ted Lapidus, this Pour Lui goes for a super luminous, almost spring-like vibe. You don’t need a specific mood to wear it, unlike other scents from the house. It’s perfect for everyday wear or as your signature fragrance. Easy to explain: it’s a totally European oriental with bergamot, vanilla, and lavender opening, a touch of mint, and something that reminds me of A Men, with a very subtle hint of burnt sugar. It’s a scent of peace and tranquility. The vanilla, herbal notes, and cedar settle in gradually, leaving a powdery dry-down that’s not annoying at all, but the opposite. It feels fresh and perfect for in-between times, neither too cold nor too hot. It’s an aura fragrance, discreet, lasting about five or six hours. For me, a bit light, but you can tell it’s made with care and quality. It’s classic yet carefree. I recommend it if you’re looking for an oriental without the fear of being overwhelming. Even though it’s by Ted Lapidus, I still prefer his more rebellious side.
Well, Pour Lui is back, so I’ll weigh in. I didn’t like it at all; it might have been one of the perfumes I had the least connection with. On my skin, it smells like outdated lavender, very old-school, to the point that I’ve worn older perfumes and didn’t feel as dated. I’m sorry if vanilla lovers disagree, but that’s what I noticed. The citrus, praline, or vanilla don’t come through. Be careful, vanilla lovers; you might get a huge letdown. That said, the longevity is beastly.
Since Pour Lui is back, I’ll share my take. I didn’t like it at all; it might be one of the perfumes I have the least connection with. On my skin, it smells like outdated lavender, very old-school, to the point that I’ve worn older perfumes that didn’t seem so dated to me. I apologize if lovers of this fragrance disagree, but I noticed it exactly like that. The citrus, praline, or vanilla never appear. Be careful, vanilla lovers, because you might get a huge letdown. That said, the longevity is beastly.
This fragrance has held up epic 17 years on the shelves. I mostly wear it at night, and even though it’s an EDT, it doesn’t envy a single modern perfume. It’s versatile, seasonal, and time-appropriate. It reminds me a bit of Cristóbal de Balenciaga, but the one from the early 2000s was more complex. Here, the vanilla is treated with care and affection, so pleasant it invites you to relax; right after application, it smells beautiful and makes you feel good, then it gains strength while maintaining its refined elegance. It feels like it’s from its era, but in 2020 it still brings a smile. A harmonious, tasteful perfume by Ted Lapidus, which remains the best from the brand for me. A true rarity that survives everything.
One of the best vanillas I’ve ever smelled. Nothing cloying or sugary. It’s a vanilla wrapped in a green, humid forest with a refreshing touch of peppermint or mint. Great longevity and projection. It’s a bit of a trick… it seems like it’s not there, then it starts earning compliments when you least expect it. A little gem, to step out of the mainstream perfumery.

A somewhat synthetic but well-executed vanilla (unlike MB Club Black, which is terrible) with mint in the dry down and lavender, quite unusual. It has a tremendous resemblance to Escada’s Casual Friday but with much better performance, quality, and price. It has a very marked 90s DNA despite being from 2003. Everyone likes it and it’s fantastic; it’s almost never talked about in the community, but knock on wood… the scents people talk about the least are often the best. Suitable for all ages (I disagree with those who say it’s for men 35+). Excellent aroma to go out in and win compliments without losing your urban style. It’s a shame they discontinued it. For me, it’s a mandatory blind buy if you want compliments. Go get it!

Lavender, mint. Mediterranean… nothing extraordinary until its middle and base notes make it exquisite. Amber, lightly sweet.

Today I received this batch from 2018. I tested it with a single spray at 6pm and am writing this at 10:46pm. That’s 4.5 hours: it starts with a fresh touch of lavender and mint with sandalwood, clean and neat. It covers any time of day, semi-formal or formal, and doesn’t discriminate by age. A few minutes in, orange and cedar enter, adding robustness, followed by a vanilla that is the best standardization of the note, without falling into sourness or excess. Bergamot enters right after, dancing with amber, patchouli, musk, and lily, contributing a sensation of a humid forest. Everything in sync, no dominant aroma, a classy fragrance for any weather. Just dose it in heat; two or three sprays in summer and four in winter. With a burst of air, it reaches over two meters and envelops you in a sphere of serenity. Undoubtedly the most potent Ted Lapidus, even for those who don’t like the brand. It adds nuances to Lolita Lempicka without the anise saturation, and a bit of Jean Paul Eros without the mentholated effect. Safe buy, though tastes vary.
Lavender, mint, vanilla… sharp, sweet, with a spectacular opening potency. Then it drops quickly to linger on the skin with little trail but good longevity. It has an old-school vibe but is perfectly compatible with current trends. I recommend it for its unique touch and because it’s rarely advertised.
I really like this perfume, but I’ll try to make an honest assessment. The opening is lavender and mint with a sour-sweet, vintage, barbershop tone that might turn some people off. Then the vanilla appears very slowly, gaining ground during the dry down and blending well with the mint, but beware—it’s a realistic vanilla, not overly gourmand. I understand they compare it to Le Male, but it’s not. A fantastic perfume that shines in the dry down, becoming very pleasant. I’m 47 and it’s my work fragrance. If you’re looking for extra-sweet commercial vanilla, I don’t recommend it, but if you want something masculine with a non-linear development and an old-school aroma, this is it.
It ends up being something like a Le Male, just more affordable.
The opening feels a bit classic, likely the lavender. Other reviews define it well; it’s a different, pleasant, and masculine vanilla. Its weak point is projection, very soft as it dries down, though it lasts quite a while on skin. I’ll try over-applying. As an aroma, it’s delicious and deserves a try. One of the best Ted Lapidus scents for my taste. Update: Over-applying leaves a good trail and makes itself noticed.
To my nose, the first thing that jumps out is mint, floral, possibly lavender, and cedarwood. Very mature for a determined man; nothing childish like One Million. It radiates pure, elegant, and discreet masculinity. Lasts 8 hours with a subtle trail. I loved it. I find it somewhat versatile, though it suits cooler weather better, below 20 degrees. My batch is from 2016.
Per-fu-món, the most commercial, charming, and versatile scent Ted Lapidus ever had. If you see it online or in Spanish chains like Prieto, don’t think twice, just grab it. Vanilla-infused but close to soft fougères with 80s lavender, sweet without being cloying, versatile, at an economical price, with an original and cool bottle design, and with TL-level performance. What more could you ask for?

It’s avoirdupois vanilla but leans towards soft 80s fougères with lavender, sweet but not cloying. At an affordable price, with a cool design and consistent performance. What more could you ask for?
