This is as much X-mas as is gets. If we could smell the Wham Music Video “Last Christmas”,…it would smell like this.
Given there is such a thing as a X-mas fragrance. If so, there are two “Christmas Smells”, it is certainly this one and Liquid Lagerfeld

Wow!! What a warm and elegant perfume!
An exquisite scent with equal parts of Armani Pour homme, Ferre for Man, Roger & Gallet’s L’Homme and Dunhill Edition.

it`s really a masterpiece a niche quality scent.I wonder how much it was ahead of it`s time.
at fiert sniff it`s kind of soapy and mossy but soon after sices like cardamom appear after a while castoreom give a smoky vibe to it and blend of mossy feel of oakmoss and earthy clean feel of vetiver made a extremely masculin classic but not old manly type which is modern too and it has a high quality ballanced combination.
LOVE for a modern sophisticated georgouse classic fragrance Jil Sander Man Pure.

Something tells me people are misidentifying this one in their reviews. JS Man Pure, released in 1981, is a garrulous assault of castoreum, cypress, wormwood, labdanum, oregano, lemon, basil, cinnamon, geranium, and oakmoss. There is no clear “fougere accord,” no “soapy” or “very soft” notes, and there’s nothing “subtle” about it. My box says: “Made In West Germany, Sander Cosmetics, Wiesbaden.” The fragrance opens a bit like a cross between vintage Yatagan and vintage Salvador Dali Pour Homme. There’s an explosion of castoreum and bitter, prickly, resinous effects, which are gradually, over the course of an hour, tempered by more measured doses of semi-sweet (but mostly stale) cinnamon, and an over-arching desiccated citrus accord not unlike the super dry lemon in Halston Z14.
I’m tempted to concede that at some very early phase of the fragrance, within seconds of application, you may detect a strident lavender note blended in with the resins, but if there is a dollop of linalool in there, it’s overwhelmed by the artemisia, castoreum, and labdanum, with the kitchen spices and bitter moss dominating the back end. Despite the basil and oregano, it somehow avoids smelling like Italian seasoning and ultimately comes across as a super (uber?) masculine chypre in the accustomed late seventies & early eighties mode. It’s quite stark, truly a “macho” scent. If you like Yatagan, Dali PH, Z14, and Francesco Smalto PH (for its rich herbal essences), you’ll like this fragrance. However, in light of how similar it is to everything I’ve mentioned, you may find it superfluous if you already have the other scents in your collection.

Not sure why this is being called a chypre, as the fougere accord is as clear as can be. It doesn’t dominate, however, and provides a bit of “lift” to the composition. I also get obvious castoreum, though again, as with everything else here, the balance is very nice. It’s sort of like the refined younger brother of vintage Leonard Pour Homme. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the “resinous and soapy green notes, very soft” quality. If you think you’re going to get something like Aramis Herbal 900 or Halston Limited (undeniably chypres), I think you will be disappointed. It’s very enjoyable but because I didn’t think I’d “need” a bottle of this and LPH, I swapped off my bottle of this one.

I really loved that one during my years at university as it felt like a second skin to me then. I always loved it because of its subtle and complex character which made it just so contradictory, something I liked in fragrances all through the years.
I remember my best friend wearing “Chanel Antaeus” and my roommate at the dorm wearing “Azzaro pour Homme” then and I always knew why I preferred the “Man Pure” to those, as I found, much simpler and less complex, much more distinct male fragrances without that enigmatic ambivalence I was seeking for.

This is a delicate but persistent scent. I was expecting a sillage monster, something brutal and macho tearing up my nostrils but instead it’s a subtle masculine scent which is extremely refined.
It opens with resinous and soapy green notes, very soft. This is tempered with very subtle floral notes before closing with woods, smoke and the slightly leathery animalic notes.
I’d love more volume but I am happy nonetheless that scent is strong enough and lasts a good half day. This is an example of a classic chypre at the height of its game.
