Do you guys know anything about a flanker of this one. It is called “A la francaise pour homme” and is an EDP. It’s not listed in Fragranticas database. It’s not expensive but I don’t wanna blind buy it.
Nightughtem – :
I like the scent it’s clean and crisp and doesn’t smell too old man, however it would do so much better if it packed a bit more punch… don’t think anyone will get too many compliments/ wearing this but I enjoy getting the odd whift of myself and it’s very pleasant.
A good cheap filler that adds to my collection without being remarkable

Reliable,Quality elements for Dupont Pour Homme.Not bad surprising and syntetich notes.
But sillage and Longevity?Sorry but poor.This parfum’s one negative element longevity and sillage.
Nığt time short time using(3 hour maximum) very performance.
As a result; try it ,good and cheap parfum,but not special and high performance excpectetion.
Sender – :
I wasn’t too sure about how high I would rate this little gem and wanted to be a bit serious about performance, smell etc. so I decided to pospone this review. But the result nontheless is about the same.
As said below, it is a really complex blend where none of the elements particulary stands out, plus it’s smoothness makes it even more difficult to dissect the fragrance.
Starts a bit acidic and peppery, with a pronounced smokyness (although incense is listed in the base). Soon arrives the lavender and some clean floral notes which continue till the drydown. That first minutes might be a little odd but once the citric note is tamed what you get is a beautiful, elegant, smooth blend of floral (iris, carnation) woody (sandal mostly) and aromatic/oriental (rosemary, coriander, incense) notes.
Comparisons between Declaration aside, what it really reminds me of is sort of a pre Dior Homme release (older brother maybe?), not only in its ambigious gender label but in terms of composition and even quality.
The only downside is that it may fall a bit “flat” and performance sure could be better, but for the price asked… can’t get a better deal.
9/10
—————————————–
No estaba muy seguro de cuan alto calificaría esta pequeña joya y quería ser un poco serio sobre el rendimiento, el olor, etc., así que decidí posponer unas semanas esta crítica. Pero el resultado en sí terminó siendo el mismo.
Como se menciona más abajo, se trata de una mezcla realmente compleja en la que se no destaca especialmente ningún elemento, además de su suavidad que dificulta aún más la disección de la fragancia.
Comienza un poco ácido y picante, con una nota ahumada pronunciada (aunque el incienso se lista recien en la base). Pronto llega la lavanda y algunas notas florales limpias que continúan hasta el secado. Los primeros minutos pueden ser un poco extraños, pero una vez que la nota cítrica se domestica, lo que obtienes es una mezcla hermosa, elegante y suave de notas florales (lirio, clavel) de madera (sándalo principalmente) y aromáticas / orientales (romero, cilantro, incienso) .
Dejando a un lado las comparaciones con Declaration, lo que realmente me recuerda es a una especie de versión anterior de Dior Homme (¿quizás un hermano mayor?), No solo en su ambigua etiqueta de género sino en términos de composición e incluso calidad.
El único inconveniente es que en gral. puede quedar un poco “chata” y el rendimiento seguro podría ser mejor, pero por el precio en el mercado … no se puede obtener una mejor oferta.

I use it at the year of it’s release 1998. This perfume is a special blend, difficult to describe complexion.
I truly advise it and you will become an addict
жорес – :
IS ok..I like it, I get the immediate similarity to Cartier Declaration, but with lesser sillage and short longevity, I have read comments in reviews here favoring this one instead of Declaration, but I will do the opposite and stick with Declaration de Cartier. Although this one was a steal since I got in on clearance online for $15 for a 1.7 OZ bottle.
But well at the end is a good fragrance, nice bottle design, and the box is so elegant, I love the velvet navy blue paper.

My mother and my older brother consider it as a female fragrance.
Personally I consider this frag atleast as a UNISEX fragrance for sure.
So you girls and women! Don’t lose it!
shooteror – :
This dries down to an attractive spicy, floral and fresh combo. It is pleasant, but not very appealing for me. The initial spray contains a strong earthy, almost feral, odor that can give the wrong impression. However, it does redeem itself by mitigating that harsh note and becoming more refined and complex. It retains a muted character throughout its duration, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if one desires understatement. I would not put this in the same “classy” category as Guerlain and Dior fragrances even though the name Dupont suggests it. I have not smelled the Cartier mentioned in some of the reviews.
KILF – :
The notes indicated here is very different from the notes on the tester bottle.
Notes on a tester bottle of S.T Dupont Pour Homme:
Top Notes: Rosemary-Coriander-Cardamom
Heart Notes: Orris-Cedar-Birch Wood
Base Notes: Heliotrope-Gaiac Wood-Musk
Basenotes.net doesn’t include pyramid of notes for this frag.
Parfumo.net pyramid is different too.
Dupont website again presents different notes formulation.
So which one is more authentic???
Personally I think this frag has been reformulated at least twice and the current juice ingredients are more closer to the notes stated on the tester bottle.

این دیدگاه دوم من در مورد این عطر هست که با دیدگاه قبلی فرق داره
بتازگی من صاحب بطری 50 میل این عطر شدم.
بوی اون با اونی که قبلا تست کردم فرق داره
دیگه خبری از اون بوی ترش و تند و پیرمردی نیست.
اونطور که متوجه شدم بعضی ادکلن ها، برخی از سری تولیداتشون بد از آب در میاد.
کاربر Redbeard هم شاید یکی از همون نمونه های بد یا شاید منقضی رو تست کرده بود.
در هر صورت رایحه این ادکلن بمانند برند داپونت رایحه ای لوکس است. برندی که لوازم شخصی ملکه الیزابت رو تولید می کرده البته قبل از ملکه شدن. برندی که فندک های طلایی اون قیمت های سرسام آوری داره.
همچنین رایحه این عطر بمانند جعبۀ اون مخملی است.
مخملی بودن و لافت رایحه از ترکیب بوی گل زنبق با نارگیل و گالبانوم حاصل شده.
کیفیت کار بسیار بالا بنظر میرسه.
رایحه این کار بسیار ملایم هست و از نظر دوام و پخش هم متوسطه البته فکر می کنم در بهار و تابستان بهتر خودشو نشون میده
در واقع کاری چوبی گلی و معطر هست.
نمره من به این کار 7.5/10 هست.
اگر پخش و دوامش بیتشر بود 9.5/10

I bought S.T.Dupont during the first year in college.I remember I bought because it smelled so fresh and at the same time so warming, bottle lasted for more than a year and I was getting nice compliments every single day.I am very thankful -‘Bbjr’ brought all of my college memories back by sending me a full bottle!!! It’s 2015,15 years passed and I still recognize every single note in this scent,I didn’t change at all!
olga borisovna – :
A herbal-floral scent.
At first it’s herbal then dries down to a floral scent.
There are traces of woody notes in its evolution as well.
I almost like it but I hesitated to buy it because there is something in it which gives me a sense of oldmen perfumes… I don’t know maybe it is rosemary?
Longevity is very good regarding its price.
Sillage is moderate and acceptable.
I think it can be used in all seasons.
سلام دوستان
بوی گیاهی و گلی و کمی چوبی
بوی مطبوع و ملایمی داره و فقط دقیقه اولش بخاطر الکل یا چیز دیگه کمی تنده و الا عطر ملایمی محسوب میشه و برای چهارفصل مناسبه.
ازش خوشم اومد اما نخریدمش چون یه چیزی توش بود که یه حس پیرمردی به من داد، باید دوباره تست کنم شاید بوی رزماری بوده؟؟؟
دوامش خیلی خوبه، پخشش هم متوسط و قابل قبوله.
خلاصه کار کمیاب و خاصی هست و برای کسانی که مثل من دنبال ادکلن های تک و خاص می گردند انتخاب خوبیه ولی حتما قبل از خرید تست کنید.
نکته: نظر دومم رو حتما بخونید که فرق داره
ideoteowl – :
This opens with light but acrid herbal grasses, and it takes a while for the alcohol to dissipate. It starts to get a bit greener and sharper with maybe a little patchouli, and doesn’t have the slightest amount of sweetness at all. While it doesn’t actually smell like cigarette smoke, it accomplishes the same effect with dirty florals and tobacco leaves. For practical purposes, it’s way too likely to come across as sweaty; the musty herbal barrage is unrelenting, and fetid wood develops later on to join it. I honestly wonder if my sample vial had gone bad.
constman – :
As someone having owned Cartier Declaration, I can honestly say that S.T. Dupont Pour Homme is a little closer to what I was expecting of it. With Declaration on me, the fragrance character turns to a sharp cumin/coriander aroma that… while interesting in its own way is NOT what I want to smell like. You can see my review of it for more details.
Like Declaration, SDPH is complex. It starts off rather citrusy with coriander accompanying it, but then as it dries down you pick up lavender, iris, jasmine, patchouli, vetiver, musk, pine, and wood. They’re all there, just waiting for you to focus on finding them. But just relax and you get this strong fresh citrus-floral accord. While this is marketed for men, it’s much more unisex in character, where it should be called “St. Dupont Pour Homme et Femme.”
Well, after wearing this a few more times I’m feeling like this is more on the feminine side of unisex. The floral quality is actually stronger than I’d prefer. Now I’m wondering if I might try layering Cartier Declaration with this. 😉
Sillage is pretty strong. I gave myself two neck sprays and after 30 mins, I got into a car with several people. They instantly smelled it. It stayed this way for a good 2-3 hours more before backing down. Nice to discover this.
I’m glad to have found this fragrance and can honestly say SDPH reminds me a lot of Declaration for the fleeting citrus quality it possesses. It is just a tad more feminine than I’d like, so I think this will be an infrequent fragrance for me. Sillage seems good and so is longevity. 7/10.
Yago – :
S.T. Dupont. 1998 – Gerard Anthony’s child. For last ten years I used seven bottles and going for number eight. The story of my life.
I never had Declaration, but I tried it (lol what a strange confession from a woman) and – despite my love to Jean-Claude Ellena why would I?
I have got all I want in S. T. Dupont – cypress that I could only dream for, coriander and cardamom, birch and – lavender with iris on the bed of powder and musk. Or I have got a beautiful dry forest where birch-trees somehow grow together with cypresses, white cedars and firs and grass full of rosemary and artemisia – whichever miracle you prefer
Ericrico, omervervaiz and Eros got it right in their reviews, those – who are still comparing S.T.Dupont with Declaration – didn’t get the essence of this fantastic fragrance. Unfortunately for them and – for the both named perfumes. Unfair – I would say.
If I wanted more spices I would go for Yatagan, not for Declaration. If I would want to be snobby- bossy – Declaration then.
If you want to be elegant, chic and – relaxed – money-maker – then it is S.T. Dupont. Smell of positive creative aristocracy. Someone who has got a beautiful story of life by himself and history of generations behind.
Enjoy.
megamesh – :
This is same Cartier Declaration line but not same. It’s different character. S.T.Dupont pour homme is easy to wear than Cartier you can wear every where every time that you want it.Long lasting is average not bad and the price is cheaper than cartier. If you’re love Cartier Declaration,you’re will love S.T.Dupont pour homme too.

A la Recherche de l’Homme perdu
Senteur 5/10 Achat aveugle en promotion. Que faire avec ce parfum de coriandre aux fleurs ? J’avais l’habitude de le porter par journée printanière ensoleillée, c’est peut-être une erreur… il en arrive à sentir les billets de banques. Parfum de banquier ? Convient assez pour un usage au bureau en tout cas !
Longévité 1/2 Ce parfum n’est pas très tenace, moyen. D’ailleurs, il est plutôt moyen en tout.
Sillage 2/2 Modéré, ce qui lui est ici clairement un avantage pour un usage quotidien.
Masculinité 0.5/2 Ce n’est pas avec ce parfum que vous allez pouvoir exprimer votre virilité. Usage unisexe possible à mon sens.
Evolution 1.5/4 C’est un parfum plutôt ennuyeux qui ne s’améliore, ni ne se détériore avec le temps.
TOTAL 10/20
xBOSSx – :
It was released in 1998, but is little known, despite being created by a House that exists since 1872, manufacturing luxury goods like pens, briefcases, travel bags, etc.
In this case, the cologne demonstrates its luxury since the box – in a blue suede paper – with silver embossed texts. The bottle is also different, because the lid doesn’t come off as one piece. It hides the spray function and gives the idea of sophistication, like in the female version.
Now, speaking of the fragrance, I will make a note at 1st place: generalizations are dangerous in the world of perfumery! There is a real “aromatic abyss” between statements like: “they are equal” or “they are similar”. And this is another one of those cases in which such claims can be harmful (or not, depending on what you expect).
Most of the reviews that I’ve read, immediately equaled this one to Déclaration, by Cartier, what concerned me, because I already had a bottle of this in my hands and, at the time, I could not overcome the barrier of experimentation. May have been my mood, may have been many things, but I did not like! I could only understand the complexity of this one years later. However, it is impossible not to admit the similarity between them. There are so many equal notes in their composition (iris, rosemary, coriander, cinnamon, jasmine, cedar and vetiver). But, as I mentioned before, between “resemblance” and “copy”, there is a huge difference. While in Cartier, putting aside the shared notes, we have notes of birch (in output), cardamom, ginger and juniper in the heart, and notes of cedar, moss and leather on the base; here we have galbanum and rosemary, in the output, geranium and lavender floral tones, allied to cypress in the heart and, in the base, sandalwood, patchouli, musk and fir, along with incense and coconut notes.
The difference, in my point of view, is the creaminess that this fragrance has in its evolution, keeping the output that makes them so alike, due to coriander and the iris, but calming and getting less uncomfortable on my skin, due to what I believe to be the junction of sandalwood with coconut notes.
The projection is median, but the lasting is very good. It is a scent that I would recommend to the office, without fear of making mistakes.
nikovip – :
It took me quite some time to get used to ST Dupont pour homme but when I did I was ready for Cartier Declaration. I must say just like others have done so far tha they are almost the same, identical twins, CD being sweeter and STD spicier and more pineapple like.Even in quality terms they are in the same league, although STD costs a fraction of any Cartier. I am very happy they work for me just fine. Another good thing is that they are not so popular. One last thing STD seems to be more serious than Cartier’s, not classier, just would go nicer in a more formal setting. Needles to go through notes and stuff, it is a first class fragrance done by a house I do admire. Dupont is not an inch behind.
bury kirill – :
Update2:
I read somewhere that one should at least try a scent three times before say NO. So I am trying it again, and I must confess ST pour Homme is not that bad after all, and there must be a pineapple note in there. I think it is not going to be recycled. The drydown, about 8 hours later, is subdued creamy vanilla. What a waste to have to wait that long for something so nice. But there must be people who like the coriander a lot.
gzv853elipseskism – :
This does have something to it that’s very similar to Declaration, but as others have said, it’s softer and more “rounded.” I also don’t get a “synthetic” quality, as I did from Declaration (I sampled it a few years ago). What’s really odd is that I sampled this first on the ankle and then on fabric. Both times I got such a sweet and powdery quality that I thought I might have the women’s version (since the bottle does not say Homme on it). When I sprayed to the chest, though, I immediately thought of Declaration. It’s almost like there are two fragrances in one here, the Declaration type and the sweet/powdery one. I like the contrast between the two, though of course not everyone might feel that way. I don’t get any strong iso e super or irritating synthetic musks but I do think there is some soft/”laundry” musk in here, though not enough to bother me. Overall, a more wearable version of Declaration for me. What I’d like to know is how two perfumers created scents with the exact same key accord during the same year. Were they friends? Did one of them get “inspired” by the other’s creation? Inquiring minds…
AntoNinKa – :
This is a subtle scent,not a strong 1 , and its subtleness is from the floral notes,
recommended for office wear.
viktor1978 – :
Notes according to S.T Dupont website:
top notes : coriander,cardmom,pepper
middle notes:birch essence,iris,cedar wood
base notes: heliotrope,musk,amber,gaiac wood
I love this scent , it is sophisticated ,
woody , spicy ,green ,herbal ,little bit flowery,
but its staying power and projection are so bad,
have a big similarity with declaration,
but declaration is more spicy , less floral.

Yes!! This is the twin brother from declaration, but i prefer this.. Fixation is better!!

***Note – this review is for the Eau de Parfum Bottling of S.T. Dupont Pour Homme***
I received this a while ago from a great seller, but knowing the note pyramid of S.T. Dupont Pour Homme EDP, I was hoping for warmer weather before a full wearing (it has been cold here in Northern CA where I am at). However, I have been really wanting to try it, reading reviews of the EDT, etc. and opened up the nice box and classy bottle tonight – perfect condition!
I am really impressed! Terrific fragrance – classy, very clean and refined. I get a wonderful top, some have mentioned of well-integrated florals (jasmine and carnation) along with some nice fig leaf (a note that I love) – I fully agree Nattonline! There is not much info on the Eau de Parfum bottling, but this is very rich and classy!! I noticed rich & nice green artemisia and rosemary blended with a refreshing cypress note that is also in the EDT, but the coconut note is not present at all (gladly – as it can be an off-note in fragrances for me). Coriander is nicely integrated to create a warm spiciness. Sandalwood, cedar, fir and white musk make up most of the base notes for me…again, more great clean and fresh notes – but with depth. This is a slightly spicy, floral, green and clean “all-business” office scent. I think it would be suitable for those in suits – I get a New York/Wall Street/trader-vibe from this…money. It is a daytime scent – you will stay fresh all day long. Very inoffensive, but more importantly…it smells sophisticated and clean.
A lot of people compare this to Cartier’s Declaration (in the EDT bottling), but I believe what I got is far superior to both S.T. Dupont Pour Homme EDT and, especially, Cartier Declaration. A lot of “off-notes” for me in there – a rather polarizing scent and one that I have discussed with highly-regarded reviewers/aficionados of fragrance. Cartier Declaration is not for me – Dupont Pour Homme EDP is fantastic. Also, as a true EDP, it goes on rich, has great longevity but remains a well-integrated skin scent for a long time. This is not too loud – it exudes sophistication, class and taste (as previously mentioned). I don’t know how often I will reach for it, as it is a shirt & tie scent, but it smells damn good. Final score: 8.5/10, two thumbs up (with a strong “Like” rating) and a genuine thank you to the seller I got this from. A wonderful bottle of scent…!
bni175elipseskism – :
I’m very sorry that I made the same mistake again (Cartier Declaration smells like an exact copy of this! and it totally turned me off)! I’m very disappointed at what I thought would be my signature perfume brand (S. T. Dupont)..
This is just too damn spicy, while the accords describing it here on Fragrantica says it’s only half that… good thing I ordered Essence as well, that one compensated me for sure.
Technically; while it’s Razor-sharp at first, it really wears off really fast, and BTW, this is not unique, there are so many similar copies to it out there…I am so disappointed..
Sorry ppl that this is more of a complaint than a professional review but I’m just not happy with my favourite brand!!

Every time I smell it I smile… Feels like kissing a young girl in a beautiful april day. It’s bright, sunny, lovely. Brings back memories 🙂

Base notes are very similar to Drakkar Noir( just add musk and coconut, you have not in DN). Nice sent for casual day in the office
zwk580speagoessenda – :
S.T. Dupont pour Homme it’s a very good perfume, long lasting scent, and very unique.
mvc425intitytek – :
In my view it is a great perfume from S.T dupont, i personally like it very much. It is sharp classic and mature. Gives a feeling of freshness and elegance simultaneously, different from most of the men’s perfumes, opens with blast of lime and spices, then dries down into very calm floral woody tones. Perfect for summers and spring season. somewhat it reminds me of another great perfume i.e. Boucheron pour homme.
Box is good but bottle is rather simple.
Nice silage and average longevity!
I give it 8 out of 10.
loparmao – :
Am I the only one that thinks this scent smells like fig and green?! Well, it was all figgy and green at the beginning like Ferragamo Homme. Then it becames cinnamony and curry-like spices (like Cartier Declaration perhaps?!). The base was a bit incensey tho, which was nice. There were absolutly no coconut. Overall is nicely sweet, quite rich and somewhat heavy. I would classify this as Oriental.
TrueMan – :
I’d call this scent “Eau de Declaration” or “Declaration Light”. The resemblance is quite obvious.
Linog – :
wow what an opening blast…artemesia is it??? who cares ,the opening is multidimensional and yes it does lose its way down to its base notes which to me seems a bit burn out metal….overall its a bang to a whimper fragrance
jorak – :
seems mild , not very strong , fades after sometime ,didn’t quite like it
moumatveu – :
Very rich scent, very complex, multi-floored, BUT not depressing. Like a musical accord of a GOOD symphonic orchestra, playing mezzo-forte, meaning “moderately loud”. Indeed, it has symphonic sound: loud razor-sharp (but not aggresive) attack, very wide well-balanced spectra of a middle tonality, and a green calm thin (not thick) final sound.
Meanwhile it sounds like … dollar looks like. Yes, printed dollar: sharp curvative b/w picture on the face side (main part) and a green, light picture on the back side (final note).
This is for business man, for his work hours in office, to make right decisions in extreeme situations. Probably *not* for the opera or night show, not for seducing women (but who knows?…). This is perfume for busy style of making money. It is “money boss” or “chief broker”.
It helps to concentrate brain, while the main long note is a bit sweet.
It’s complexity can be a minus – sometimes it is difficult to wear it. Very easy to overdose. Advice: wear it only on odd or only on even days of month.
Nearest analogue – Cartier “Declaration” (very close, less complex, without sharp start and green tail). If you dont need complexity and “snob-boss-image” you can also consider Paco Rabanne XS from the same creator Gerard Anthony – it is less complex and … has a better bottle.
