    This is really a very brilliant perfume that harkens back to better days of perfumery (before restrictions and regulations). The vintage bottle I have starts with brilliant fresh citrus – the lemon clearly taking center stage. This moves into woody territory – synthetics but probably with some real sandalwood to enhance them.
    What really surprises me is that no one else has commented on some of the more complex base notes. I get a very strong isobutyl quinoline in the dry down – most likely pyralone – contributing a wonderful leathery note as well as costus (a touch) and civet (a little more than a touch).
    This is really outstanding and for the lover of vintage perfumes this is a must have to go alongside Patou Pour Homme and Patou Pour Homme Prive on the shelf!
    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at how truly good this is considering the perfumer also created Azzaro and Balenciaga for men – two other truly outstanding fragrances for men.

    Now this fragrance harks back to another time in structure and is nothing like what you would find on the shelves today. No sugary sweetness here!
    After a few sprays upon the skin the scent smells quite harsh with bitter herbal lemony citrus notes. But the beauty of this fragrance is how in opens up and takes you on a olfactory journey. Wait twenty minutes and the scent starts to unfurl and soften with the introduction of lavender and jasmine floral notes. This starts to make the scent more aromatic as slowly the bitter herbal citrus melds with the lavender and floral notes on a underlying bed of leather.
    Eventually the herbal mossy lemony citrus starts to fade and the floral jasmine notes start to come through more and the scent starts to become more woody. So you can smell a lovely herbal floral woody scent on a leathery base. Quite beautiful (reminds me a bit of Carons third man scent).
    The scent is beautifully crafted in how the different notes are introduced and then meld together quite beautiful. Every-time you sniff the scent you are picking up a new different aspect. I am impressed how all these different notes all come together to create a alluring beautiful scent.
    I get several hours of longevity and the basenotes seem to linger on the skin for ages where modern fragrances they just seem to disappear.

    Hommes de Gres is fantastic, unique, & completely masculine: bitter citric & herbal top; citrus, woody & leathery dry-down. A really comforting, happy, natural, totally self-assured scent that is great for the office, just after the gym, or for a night on the town. Good projection & sillage. Compliments a-plenty. One of my all-time favorites. And, no – it’s not a “contemporary” scent, but more a classic one. I’m so disappointed it’s been discontinued! (I don’t detect any peach, btw…)
    Update: I was wrong – there IS definitely peach in this. Wonderful!

    Someone mentioned this is similar to Capucci, which I already own. Does anyone familiar with both care to offer a comparison. I love the house of Gres, but would prefer to get something else if they are very similar. Thanks!

    I have to be honest and say that I don’t like this. It just smells bitter to me. Masculine, but like an older gentleman, bitter and harsh. Maybe it’s because I’m 20. I’m the minority here, but yeah, I don’t like this one.

    A citrusy-herbal-woody fragrance. Excellent in my mind! It smells wonderful (mostly masculine I would say). It is ‘fresh’ and at the same time provides body to the scent. It also changes a bit over time, starting citrusy, continuing into herbal with tarragon…perhaps.. and then into woody territory. Reminds me of some Guerlain, but still distinct. It has quite good sillage and last for a long time.

    Unfortunately Gres fragrances don’t get the recognition that they should!! I own Cabernet de Homme and now I finally picked up Homme de Gres. There both unquie covering a wide range from spring into late fall.
    Homme de Gres has an exquisite aroma of citrus notes and a herbal undertones creating a monster of a fragrance.
    The lemon note is subtle yet it has a very sophisticated complex aroma with a fine blend of voliet and woodsy notes.
    Longevity and Silage are both very high lasting over 6hrs during the summer.
    Finally thoughts,
    This juice is far better than what’s in the market today. I really enjoy the opening notes of citrus notes with a pronounced herbal voilet aromatic scent making luxurious. To bad this frag isn’t sold in the stores. Highly recommended if you want something a citrusy/herbal blend. 8.5/10

    I prefer remember this fragrance after discontinue as a summer superb scent! Sometimes and after a lot of examples a discontinue of a scent make it legendary! I can’t imagine this beautiful fragrance without oak moss! As happen to Eau Savage(thanks to IFRA! Banned oak moss for allergy reasons,this foolish decision destroy some legendary scents,eau Savage etc, 0,0000001% has allergy to oak moss and banned this ingredient! Fool and fool again)! I suggest to IFRA banned all natural ingredients and replace all with chemical,IFRA you are excessive! Let us choose what we want to buy! If you has allergy to something you don’t buy it again! We don’t need any IFRA to deside for us! ENOUGH!!!

    Yes, it’s a shame this wonderful scent was discontinued. But it’s still relatively available (eBay) and at reasonable prices. Just buy yourself a stash of it. Otherwise a year from now you’ll really regret it.

    Herbal and I love it. It is a beautiful scent and lasts forever on me. Fresh, summery and perfect for the Miami heat. I went to the post office this morning and was asked by a young woman what I was wearing. She had never heard of it, and said she would buy it for her boyfriend. I sprayed 3 times only, neck and wrists. So the projection is first class. I will be wearing it very often.

    where is the 1982 original Monsieur by Gres?

    It is very similar to classical Ellipse for women by Jacques Fath,
    favourite perfume of my old mom. Mossy bittery juicy. Nice typical retro.

    Its a stunning old school couture cologne. I wear this often, I get through a lot of this. It is also very reminiscent of Capucci which is similarly old school.

    If this fragrance used to be in a circular bottle with a black circle on the front…..then it’s gorgeous.

    I’m surprised at the lack of reviews. Perhaps this is fairly unknown?
    I agree that this is a dry citric fragrance, and quite herbal. I haven’t smelled anything quite like it, and it’s one of my favourites.
    Perfect for all seasons. Longevity is good, I’d say 6 – 8 hours, and sillage is also good (not overpowering). A great scent if you’re in a relaxed mood. I’m always relaxed so I use it quite often.
    Highly recommended.

    Homme de Gres is one of the greats of its kind. Let the “madding crowd” wear Terre d’Hermes, and pray for their souls (or at least their health, as that iso e super overload makes me feel like I’m working at a chemical plant). They can have their “flinty” fragrance (to me, flinty means it’s not blended properly!). Anyway, HdG gets everything right. Over at the Perfume Intelligence site, the notes are listed as: “…bergamot, peach, neroli, jasmine, amber, sandalwood and musk.”
    There seems to be lemon in here but that may just be how the combination comes across. The PI site calls it a dry chypre, and it’s certainly dry, but if there is a chypre accord it is being dominated by two elements that play off each other very well. One is the neroli/peach (and what seems like lemon; could this just be very strong bergamot mixed in there?) while the other is the sandalwood (which is really well done here and my guess is that it’s achieved with more than one kind). At first it’s a bit harsh but just give it half an hour or so to come together.
    Though these kinds of fragrances tend to lack richness, this one has enough to make it special, and it smells entirely natural. It’s great for warm or hot weather but I don’t mind wearing it any time of year. The jasmine and amber seem to soften it up just enough to prevent it from being too sharp/harsh, and the balance is near perfect. These are not notes that one would expect to work well together and when peach is used in men’s fragrances I tend to find that really unpleasant; somehow it works perfectly here. This is not for the fresh, aquatic, “sport,” etc. crowd. Instead, this is meant to be enjoyed by those who understand fragrances!
    UPDATE: I’m not getting lemon any longer; the listed notes at PI appear to be accurate, though I’d guess there is some oakmoss blended in.
