A couple of months ago, I dove headfirst into the world of perfumes, and reading the previous reviews, I thought it was a mandatory purchase. After a trip of nearly a month and a half, it arrived in my hands. This marvel, with its 19 notes, has left me in shock. It has everything: it’s round, complex, friendly, citrusy without being so. It reminds me a lot of the scent of certain flowers in the Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve in Veracruz, Mexico, at night: sweet, intoxicating, and extremely clean, penetrating the neurons and settling on an intense, sweet, and fine leather, leaving you in ecstasy. It’s unique, one of my great fragrances. It has character and spectacular longevity and projection, but be careful not to overapply. Available in the USA and Mexico at a very reasonable price.
You can get it in Spain at Paco Perfumerias for 34.90 euros for 100ml. I’ve tested it, but it doesn’t please me enough to use. On my skin, it comes off very rugged and vintage, reminding me a lot of Equipage by Hermès, especially in the spicy notes. I prefer other classics because they are more elegant and have better trail and longevity than this L’Homme by Versace. I don’t know if it’s the reformulated original version, but I won’t say it’s bad, just that it doesn’t stand out over others of its style on my skin. It might please others immensely, but it doesn’t fit my style. I recommend trying it because the price-quality ratio is very good for those who like its scent.
My story with this perfume is long: I want to like it, but it won’t let me. Others think it has many chords; I only detect an overwhelming opening without distinguishing ingredients, just a sharp, shrill “something.” Another strange thing: half an hour after applying it, I stop smelling it on my skin, as if I’m wearing nothing. If I put it on a shirt collar and come back hours later, I do notice it, but there I detect the greasy residue of the leather, very similar to Cabochard by Gres, a perfume in that category for women. I think I’ll stop trying it; this fragrance doesn’t want anything to do with me. By the way, you say it reminds you of Gentleman in some phase. I’ve been wearing Gentleman since I was 18 and I’m 35 now, and I’ve never felt that reminder. Another example of how subjective the perfume world is.
This is my second opinion on L’Homme. I tried it several times, got bored of not getting anything out of it, and put it in a drawer until the cold arrived. I tested it right after a shower, and my opinion changed 100%. Before, it seemed chaotic and shrill; now I see a masculine classic, deep, with incredible cleanliness. It’s a citrus leather with a green touch. Maybe the heat prevented me from appreciating it before. Now, with the cold, I understand it’s a great perfume. If I had to define it in one word: soap. Expensive, masculine, clean but worked soap. It belongs to the 80s but hasn’t gone out of style in 2016. Longevity is good; I felt it on my neck for three hours, which is an achievement since I usually get used to scents quickly. It’s luminous within its gravity. I’ll wear it during the day and in winter, not at night or in the heat. This Versace L’Homme needs the cold.
They gifted me a half-used bottle. It smells a bit like Gentleman by Givenchy, but friendlier to my nose. It’s not super versatile or for very young people. If you’re in your twenties, like me, use it only for formal events. As of today (2017), I don’t feel it’s old at all.
My great friend Manuel gifted me this bottle this month, and it’s an 80s classic from tip to toe. I’ve worn it for a week, and it’s pure old school, style Tsar or Pour Homme by Van Cleef. These vintage classics are my favorites.
Powerful and intense, ideal for cold climates. I place it between Quorum and Kouros. Don’t overapply; it’s very masculine and for men 35 and up. It has good longevity and projection. For its price, it’s a real jewel.
Of the 80s, I keep the music, the clothes, and their perfumes. I retract my previous opinion: maybe I tested VERSACE L’HOMME on a scorching day. For me, it’s a magnificent score; the leitmotif is leather, floating throughout like an Agamemnon. Green and citrus notes open with a spark, while the leather watches over and flowers (rose, jasmine, carnation) dance with spices and woods. The dry-down is sweet and sensual, with the leather always alert. It has great trail and longevity. Works day and night, all year except summer. A magnificent exponent of the 80s.
The opening is very aldehydic, like Giorgio Beverly Hills. As it calms down, herbal, dry, and bitter notes emerge, perhaps basil and musk, which generate some rejection in me. It reminds me of something I hate: Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene. I know L’Homme has many fans and a lot of personality, but it has a point that doesn’t go with me. I’ve given it many chances; sometimes I need several tests to change my mind, but that’s not the case here. I don’t like its aroma, development, or dry-down, even though it’s well-constructed. Simply, my nose isn’t empathetic to it. SCENT: 5 TRAIL: 7 LONGEVITY: 7 PERFORMANCE: 7
At the Duty Free, caught between a bottle of whisky and boredom, I stumbled upon Versace L’Homme and didn’t hesitate for a second. The opening is a fresh, soapy blast with lots of lavender, patchouli, and leather—that dirty, brutal scent only style lovers recognize. I fell in love instantly; nowadays it’s rare to find a perfume like this at Versace, and it’s already my favorite from the house. The opening is strong but not suffocating, reminiscent of a cross between Kouros and Quorum. As it dries down, it becomes floral yet threatening, dry, animalic, and tobacco-like. It projects heavily at first, then settles into a well-perceptible, classic, elegant, and proud aura. A masterpiece anyone who loves this type of proposal shouldn’t miss.
It can be as old school as you want, but this smells exactly like 80s barbershop lotion, something I’d rush to wash off when I got home. Not even close to some comparisons with Azzaro; that soapy touch mixed with sweet and herbs could only be used in extremely cold climates. The composition isn’t bad; it’s just that my mind associates it with cheap shaving lotion and loses the charm. Scent: 6. Longevity: 8. Projection: 8. Price: 10.
Buying this Versace gem in 2018 was great luck. It’s incredible I did it last year, especially considering the Italian house is very commercial. This was the best men’s perfume under the Gianni Versace Empire. It’s not a first-scent love because it looks good, but it can seem strange or off-putting, making you think it’s not for you. However, when you apply it on the third day and it settles on your skin, you realize it’s beautiful. Its green and citrus opening is well-executed, its floral notes exude quality, its woody base is masterful, and its leather is real, adding charm and sexuality. Highly recommended if you want a good perfume that will surprise by being unknown today. Give it a few days of trust; it won’t disappoint. An example of virilely beautiful perfume, but perhaps suffering from scarce longevity due to reformulations, like many of its era. One of the few still available, I think this is headed for discontinuation like Zino Davidoff or Grey Flannel. Its days are numbered; very good perfumes at low prices now, but with the trade-off that their longevity isn’t what it used to be and generally they don’t appeal to the younger client. But for anyone who knows how to enjoy it and make the most of it, it’s a gem. It’s like revisiting those Hollywood movies that are no longer made and that hook you on DVD.
Thanks to my friend Jerry Drake, I got to try this gem. Admitting it’s a great perfume, it might just not be for me; it’s not my style. I’ve tested it several times and it’s not my total favorite. It reminded me of Acqua di Parma Essenza with its classic barbershop cologne character—soapy and fresh but not citrusy—and I find that last one more usable. That said, longevity and skin performance are very good; it sticks to the skin until the next day without issues.
Vintage, green with a citrus touch and something soapy. For being vintage, it’s not uncomfortable, and if you know how to pair it with your clothes, it will be perfect. Its projection, trail, and longevity are excellent; potent for an eau de toilette.
First impression after applying a sample. When I test it in depth, I’ll expand on the review, but I already say it smells like exquisite soap. I can’t stop smelling the back of my hand for two hours. Citrus that isn’t annoying, giving way to a superb soap, the kind where you don’t want to move your hand away from your nose. The artisanal kind from before, not the current plastic stuff. I wanted to give a first impression, and given the price, I’ll definitely buy the full bottle. Just hoping it performs well. What a delight. Edit: it’s a marvel, gentlemen. What a smell of old, clean soap, addictive. And for the price, a double marvel. I’m not buying just one, but two bottles. What Versace.
At first, it might scare you: a sharp acidic citrus blast that almost burns your nose. But it evolves and dries down harmoniously, like a symphony of leather, tobacco, woods, and powdery vanilla reminiscent of Caron Pour un Homme. In short, many well-assembled notes that smell classic yet cheerful. It’s not very original in concept, but the result has charm. It’s attractive, light, and strong all at once. A beauty. I’ve tried the current version and it performs well. For its low price, it’s on my podium of best fragrances. A discreet classic gem and the best Versace I’ve smelled, with several body counts ahead of the second-place contender. Double thumbs up.
I’ve genuinely tried to get my hands on it several times and haven’t been able to. It’s fresh but rough. I like classics like Eau Sauvage or Pour Homme, but that lemon scent some love smells like floor cleaner or lemon bleach to me. It scares me. What a frustration to want to like something and not be able to.
It smells to me like someone in a yellow pinstripe jacket, brown trousers, thick-rimmed glasses, shiny shoes, smoking an unfiltered cigarette, and wiping sweat with a checkered handkerchief.
A balanced and elegant scent that might go unnoticed if you don’t have a keen nose or the personality to carry it. Finding modern fragrances with that oakmoss and refined floral base, with a subtle sweet touch, is tricky. It’s a classic for all seasons that should never be missing from your wardrobe; it always makes you look good. Starts with classic citrus and a bit of fruit, then moves to a jasmine so good you almost want to drink it, giving way to exotic and balsamic woods. Works great in summer for its freshness and in winter thanks to the leather and incense notes. A myth created by the house that bears its name.
Once dry, it smells almost identical to Pour Monsieur Concentré.
Versace L’Homme is a perfume that in my country, Argentina, was discontinued for many years, so I always stayed keen on trying it. Reading reviews I tried to form an idea of how it smelled. I was excited that many associate it with fragrances like Armani Pour Homme, Eau Sauvage, Pour Monsieur, Boucheron Pour Homme, or YSL Pour Homme, because I love those old-school woody citrus scents. This year 2021 in Argentina they started importing Versace L’Homme again, along with The Dreamer and Blue Jeans; all three were discontinued here. Then I had the opportunity to try it on skin and in a decant. To my surprise, they don’t resemble the mentioned ones at all. I found a huge similarity with Quorum and Bogart One Man Show. It opens very citrusy with a slightly dense leather note. I won’t say it’s a bad perfume, but it’s not what I expected; I was looking for something like Armani Pour Homme, with that Italian touch of citrus.
I’m from Argentina. Era perfume: retro. Macho man to die for. Citrus opening then becomes soapy, somewhat talcky, nothing sweet. Personally I like it because I’m a fifty-something. Moderate to low longevity, considering it’s not expensive. There is a catalog fragrance in that line (not the same) that’s cheaper (around $6) with better performance: more power, though somewhat grotesque and sweet; I’m talking about Avon’s Black Suede. With Black Suede, if they aren’t sisters, at least they’re cousins. Let’s say Versace has kinship with Black Suede, since the latter is from 1980 and Versace from 1986. If your pockets are turned inside out, you can opt for the catalog one to know where Versace is heading.
Delighted, it reminds me a lot of Jaguar For Men, but this takes first place in power. Very explosive and invasive, but enjoyable. Cheers.
I gifted it to my dad for Father’s Day and he loved it. He’s 67, and this vintage aroma suits him great. I found it in Buenos Aires at an excellent price of $30, so the quality-price ratio is top. It has something particular that I don’t notice in others (probably due to my short experience) and is that its projection is amazing, almost matching its skin longevity. It projects about two meters and trails strongly for several hours (3 or 4), then drops down to fade to a skin scent at 6 hours. For me, those 6 hours are perfect; sometimes people confuse that initial strength with a 12-hour or more longevity and get tired of reapplying. I see it as a positive: it smells good when applied, and if you get bored, after 6 hours you can switch or be at peace knowing it doesn’t last forever. It starts with strong citrus, feels good; some compare it to Armani Eau Pour Homme for the opening, but then they don’t resemble each other at all. Then comes the floral blend, where my dad and I smell more jasmine, with an initial tickle that I think is cinnamon. The leather appears almost whistling, well-balanced and mixed with the flowers, subtle but present. This tickle phase lasts about 2 hours, then relaxes into a barely sweet, talcky, and soapy aroma until the end. Ideal for cold and temperate climates; in spring at night it can work, but in heat it becomes dense and invasive, maybe annoying to more than one. Although perfumes have no age or gender, I see this essence for people 30 and up; it’s vintage, not ultra-masculine due to that talcky and soapy phase, but it’s not unisex either, it’s in between. I invite you to try it. If someone under 30 likes it, go ahead! It will have an original aroma, nothing mass-produced, that causes impact because it doesn’t smell generic, even if it’s from the 80s it doesn’t feel old and projects superbly (can fill a room). Situations: with few sprays (max 3) it serves as a winter signature. I see it more as daytime, outdoor, for family outings, with friends, dates, or formal events, although there are better options for the latter. I don’t recommend buying blindly unless you like it or gift it to someone who loves vintage or sophisticated clean scents.
I gifted it to my husband for a ridiculous price; they called its notes citrus, ideal for him. I arrived expecting to fall in love at first sniff, but I was disappointed: it smells very vintage, cloying, and aged. He didn’t say anything when he tried it, but upon applying it, the scent changed completely, becoming a delight to smell all day. Maybe it’s the man’s pH that transforms it so much; it suits him very well, a true gentleman, and I no longer regret it, I love it when he wears it. Now I understand previous comments: it’s totally macho man, barbershop style, with good projection for about 4 hours (be careful, if you spray it like it’s the end of the world, you can make someone dizzy). It has good fixation, lasting almost 24 hours on skin; you put it on in the morning and the next day you can still feel it. The price is incredible, I don’t understand why being Versace it’s so cheap and undervalued. Isn’t it a favorite of many? Did it stop pleasing the male public? I don’t know, at least I didn’t know it before, but I’m delighted to have discovered and gifted it. Blind buy approved!
Intensely disappointing. I tried it yesterday and wanted to frame what happened to my sense of smell when wearing it on my arm. At first, a pale citrus that fades quickly, leaving notes that evoke Parera’s Dandy Man or the legendary Avon Black Suede. Perfumes that would look good on your skin if you were 60 or older. It smells talcky and old, like an elderly man in a care home during a ‘Fullness’ diaper change, with cheap talc on his butt and scrotum. It’s linear, smelling of a clean, cared-for grandpa’s scrotum, without evolving further, with notes that are over the top. My trained nose doesn’t pick them up. Final note: 4/10. Projection: 6/10. Longevity: 5 hours, first with a trail, then skin scent. Fixation: 5/10. Don’t buy blindly, you’ll regret it.
We are facing a fragrance from the past, without pejorative connotations. With its flaws and virtues. It’s honest, behaves well in any weather or occasion, gives the sensation of a clean man or freshly shaved. It won’t bring you compliments nor be a seduction bomb, but it will accompany you dignifiedly beyond 6 hours, creating an aura of a neat man with things clear. In the line of Armani Pour Homme or Dior Eau Sauvage, perhaps leaning more towards leather/moss and less wood/flower, but with great similarity and same performance. A notable for me. At the €30 it costs in Spain, I recommend it.
Hi, I bought it recently. It’s a manual fougere and a good scent; it took me weeks to understand it, and now I love it. Pity its poor performance. The opening is a slap in the face, maybe like Polo Green (note: they aren’t similar, I’m just saying it’s strong), then it becomes soapy. Reminds me of Bogart Signature. I recommend it to fougere lovers. Cheers.
Not ugly, but smells like a public restroom.
Citizen, pure lemon at first with that typical disinfectant touch. Once it dries down, it improves significantly and smells soapy, very Italian style. Some compare it to Puig’s Quorum; both have a strong opening that evolves beautifully later. It feels clean, ideal for a white shirt. It’s a vintage classic, maybe a bit outdated today, but I love perfumes like this. I keep it in my collection, though I prefer Dior’s Eau Sauvage or Chanel’s Pour Monsieur: citrus lemons, also old-school but with high elegance and quality, definitely wearable today. If I had to define Versace L’Homme in one word, it would be ‘rustic’. It’s the lemony version of Kouros, just as Eau Sauvage smells like elegant 60s lemon, this is an 80s lemon with rocker leather vibes. Pros: excellent longevity and unbeatable price. At $30, it’s almost mandatory to buy if you like retro scents.
A classic Versace aroma, mature and super masculine, typical of the 80s, with 20 notes and a somewhat ‘older brother’ smell, or in millennial language, ‘grandpa’s cologne’. Still, it’s a high-quality perfumazo that, like the current market, isn’t for everyone. If you knew it before, owned it, or like old school, strong aromas with the mythical combo of lemon, basil, cedar, oakmoss, leather, amber, and musk… it’s long-lasting, persistent, and penetrating. It’s a very good option. I see it as more versatile, modern, and stylish than competitors like Azzaro Pour Homme, Armani Pour Homme, Givenchy Monsieur, Givenchy Gentleman 74, Xeryus, Antaeus by Chanel, Kouros by YSL, etc. This Versace L’homme, despite the years, hasn’t been reformulated down like others from its era. The gentlemen of Euroitalia maintain the status and quality, preserving the decent original DNA. Plus, it has a fairly moderate price these days.
An 80s aroma with all the power. The current version needs 5 or 6 sprays to last more than 6 hours. A fragrance for a tough, working man.
Someone said it was a cross between Kouros and Quorum, and I agree. It also seemed similar to Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui. It’s a great fragrance if you like strong 70s/80s aromas. If you don’t know those fragrances, imagine it smells like shaving cream with dirty leather and natural lemon. Very masculine in my opinion.
It’s a nostalgic journey straight to the 80s. I own it even though I don’t use it much; it’s not because I don’t like it, but because it’s not for all current occasions. I use it for church, at home with my wife, or just to be with myself. It’s not one of my most social fragrances, but I value and enjoy it immensely. It’s economical and discreet in its presentation.
Not suitable for beginners. Only lovers of perfumery and true connoisseurs understand these vintage aromas. What makes me feel and remember is worth more than purists looking for eternal longevity without generalizing. It’s a gem of perfumery that defines character and elegance. Maybe it doesn’t fit current molds, but it’s like meeting an old childhood friend: the same taste and genuine affection remain intact.
I understand why many people call Versace L’homme a fougère, although the barrier between categories is subjective. In my opinion, it lacks lavender and has too much labdanum to be a proper fougère; those very characteristics make it a delicious chypre. If you are a lover of perfumery from the golden age, this L’homme is a must: apothegmatic leather and oakmoss, a vigorous citrus opening, and a floral heart that give a aura of soapy cleanliness, supreme talc, and a slight sweetness that makes it appetizing. I was gifted it in December 2019 and bought another one in 2023 when I finished the bottle. It lasts very well and is enjoyable in any weather: in the cold, the warm and floral parts stand out, while in summer the citrus and spices dominate. Personally, I love it.
L’homme is a chypre, aromatic, and leathery fragrance. A fleeting citrus opening that quickly moves to an aromatic floral phase with 70s and 80s accords, like carnation and rose, and a mossy touch. In the heart, it can smell slightly animalic and musky, a bit unpleasant, but as it dries down it becomes more leathery with leather reinforced by labdanum, while the flowers fade in intensity. It’s suitable for almost any season except summer. Ideal for those who love old school, for the office or special occasions. It lasted nearly 8 hours with moderate sillage. I don’t recommend buying it blindly, especially young people, because it can seem very vintage unless you enjoy the 70s and 80s style.
Very elegant and classic, but with little sillage and longevity.
Versace hasn’t always been innovative; their perfumes are like patchwork quilts of past trends with small twists to disguise a lack of creativity, though they work strategically. Despite that, they’ve managed solid and successful proposals with loyal fans. L’homme is one of them: bitter citrus like Eau Sauvage at the start, then that soapy floral phase very similar to Dunhill for men, and finally an animalic touch in the style of Kouros or Antaeus. I recommend it because it’s high quality, it hasn’t been let down by reformulations or inflated prices, it’s versatile for any weather, and its bottle is beautiful for collectors.
It’s the first fragrance for men by Versace: sophisticated, striking, and with that vintage touch that’s irresistible. I’ve got two sprays left, so I’ll definitely buy another. The olfactory pyramid is clear, with leather always dominating. It opens citrusy and floral with great strength and impact. In the heart, it’s flowers accompanied by woods and that signature leather. As it dries down, the leather accentuates into dark, herbal notes mixed with sweetness. It’s amazing, though sometimes I don’t get the best out of it, but I hope to. It doesn’t like the heat, so it’s better for night. A perfect example of how it held up well through reformulations and remains potent, even too potent, but exquisite.
