Une merveille des merveilles, un oriental pour homme incroyablement enivrant et riche, d’une complexité et d’une beauté indicibles: épicé, boisé, floral, on ne sait où donner de la tête.
Nous l’avons choisi ensemble en boutique et le flacon st rechargeable.
Parfum de très grande qualité qui tient très bien toute la journée.
Mon mari a porté beaucoup de beaux parfums, Givenchy Gentleman, Habit rouge, Héritage, mais celui-ci les surclasse tous, je ne veux plus quitter son cou et renifle ses écharpes sans arrêt, il me rend folle.

In the beginning of my fragrance journey, 2-3 years ago, I got many samples from luckyscent. Divine l’homme sage was my favourite. Now, after trying hundreds of fragrances, I tried it again. Im totally in love with this beauty. Not too light, not too dark. Perfect. It has a spiritual mystic with incense and woods, but that is masterfully balanced with fruity and floral notes. It is very easy to wear and I think it is versatile. Unisex, but leaning towards masculinity. Maybe not the best for very warm weather, but I think you can pull it off all year around. Perfect for a cozy fall feeling. It has kind of similar vibe as reflection man..they are not similar smelling, but has the same kind of balance. Divine l’homme sage does something with my state of mind. It makes me calm and happy. Its divinity in a bottle.
Im gonna buy a full bottle and I need it fast. Living without Divine l’homme sage may give abstinences!
Maybe my new signature scent.
10/10 masterpiece
Edit:
I got a full bottle and I love this scent. Incense, oak moss, saffron, hints of fruits and florals. Its an masterfully composition and I have never smelled anything like it before. If you like to try a complex, comforting, lovely scent that “nobody” else smells like, try this one.

I tried this a few years ago and thought it was just ok. Just tried it again and thought, “If I ever needed to impress someone, this is what I would wear.”
Thinking about picking up a full bottle.

Okay, I see the Antaeus comparison now…

If you enjoy invasion barbare, you’ll like this. Based on all of the reviews I didn’t know what to expect since this has been described as being comprable to everything from Antaeus to LADDM… To me however, it’s Invasion Barbare with a non descript citrus on top.
I wouldn’t call this scent generic but by no means is it groundbreaking or interesting. Admittedly I was a little let down.

A hidden great gourmand scent.

Pleasant and easy to wear. A good fragrance without pretensions, good quality, good longevity, good smell.

On paper, “L’Homme Sage’ opens with a bold hit of boot polish saffron, dry incense, sweet fruit, fresh cardamom and a wonderful nose tingling accord that I couldn’t put my finger on.
It reminded me of a drier, soapier, less boozy version of TF “Plum Japonais”.
Soon afterwards I noticed a dense powderiness developing. Combined with the fresh soapy cardamom and sparkly spice, it smelled like some very luxurious talc.
If things had stayed this way, I wouldn’t have hesitated to buy a bottle, but unfortunately the immortelle and oakmoss soon arose to consume the whole composition, blanketing the sparkle of the opening in a dull, dusty haze of fenugreek and waxy makeup powder. At this point it smelled old, lackluster and flabby, like a corpulent 17th century dandy with rouge on his lips. Not very alluring. On my skin, it was even worse.
When it comes to powder, I will stick to my “Chypre Palatin”.

Soft, you won’t over take the room, but they will know your there, just enough to want more and it lasts for ever. Beautiful, class in a bottle! Could be a signature scent I love it.

Interesting — a fruitchouli for men. The patch and litchi jump right out at me and scream “Fruitchouli!”, just like La Vie est Belle or Coco Mad, only masculined up with pine, moss and incense notes.
I’d recommend L’Homme Sage to anyone who wants a darker and less sweet fruitchouli or, in particular, men who like La Vie est Belle or Coco Mad but want a fragrance with a more conventionally “masculine” treatment. Personally, I’m not really a fruitchouli lover, so I’ll pass on this one even though I can recognize and admire its high quality.

This smells very very well blended. The total effect is a polished leather fragrance. Almost identical to Knize Ten.
kilasan – :
it smells like an old man perfume, but in a common way. it is elegant & classy but a very common (sometimes annoying) style. i smell a spices woody essence when it dries down… dunno much about it but sometimes it annoys me and i feel i wanna remove it.
evgen2008 – :
cardamom in the opening kind of reminded me of YSL La Nuit, but a little sweeter with lychee instead of lavender. the lychee then fades and the incense and saffron seem to come out stronger for awhile, giving way to fir, amber, and immortelle a few hours later. very nice scent, would definitely pick it up for a good price, but apparently it isn’t too cheap.
марго – :
Not sure what the hell the guy beneath me is talking about….But L’Homme Sage is extremely long-lasting and excellent sillage and D&G “The One” is TOTALLY not….Totally opposite…I think of this one as more of a wearable LDDM…I have both and the Tauer LDDM has a odd note that I cannot put my finger on that makes it sometimes hard to wear…I love that one too but this one is warm, more smooth almost a masculine powder type smell to me….But definitely worth checking out and D&G “The One” can stay on the shelf, IMO….

L’Homme Sage is exactly what the name suggests: a fragrance for a wise man. An experienced man, who may have lived and loved, and learned from his mistakes.
As a man of the world, of a certain age, well-traveled and well-educated, I like to consider myself “un homme sage”, and this feel a great affinity for this creation.
I bought this fragrance on the recommendation of a close friend, and it now occupies pride of place.
As I write this, I am savouring the aroma of this masterpiece, and the adjective that springs to mind is “classy”.
I find it almost redundant to list the individual notes, since they combine so perfectly to create a harmonious symphony that embraces its wearer with a discrete aura of mystery. Love it.
trp981Bessinepome – :
A warm, somewhat spicy woody aromatic masculine with a slightly leathery saffron accord that’s been caramelized by the immortelle. Also slightly powdery. It’s really nice and all, but I wouldn’t ever buy it. Doesn’t really satisfy me in any way.

L’homme sage – The wise man
This is one of my favourite fragrances. I got a sample of it together with Jubilation XXV and Fille en aiguilles. The three share common aspects (I’m not saying they are the same!)and for the first weeks of analyzing them at the same time, this was the one that always seemed to be the best crafted (in terms of its ingredients coalescing well and behaving every time you apply in the same perfect way) and more magical. I even liked it much more than the Amouage (which is great but too much going on, too sweet and chaotic)but my only concern had to do with its target… I didn’t buy a full bottle then because I felt it didn’t match my age and perhaps not either my style…
L’homme sage is extremely well made, very strong, long lasting and so refined… I think this is a perfect scent for people who wear formal clothes and wish to have a unique scent that combines wearable incense with a sweet powdery drydown. I recommend it 100%! Please don’t use it in summer! This is definitely one of those jewels of this perfume world. I will for sure have it in the future. I would dare to say it is an older and much more interesting brother of prada amber. Go get a sample!

Like the saffron opening, don’t like the powder powder powder dry down.

This opens with a warm spicy blast of saffron and cardamom with a big dose of incense and it smells really good. After this opening I’m detecting a slightly sweet fruity note which becomes stronger within the mix. This notes cuts through the spicyness to transform the scent making it lighter and its quickly joined with some patchouli.
The scent has now become quite aromatic and balmy and I’m really liking this. It also gets a bit smoky and the fruit has now made the scent sweeter so you have a “Fruity Slightly Sweet Spicy Balmy Fragrance”.
I really like the opening to this and how it’s really warm and spicy to begin with and then how the slight fruitness quickly transforms the scent by making it lighter and aromatic. Good fragrance.

L’Homme Sage opens like a firework. A tiny and barely perceptible (mandarine) shot towards the dark sky that explodes with a magnificent and stunning effect (saffron). Wow! At this point the firework usually starts to fade out but with L’Homme Sage it’s like witnessing to the “gran finale” as smoky frankincense, cardamom and woods immediately start to shine surrounded by a consistent dose of sweet amber and achieving an incredible lasting power.
Overall, after the sparkling opening, L’Homme Sage has a warm character, It’s comfortable, deep, velvety and kinda meditative. A bold (but not loud) composition that has a solid structure and some weight and remarks its presence with a very distinctive allure.
L’Homme Sage is here to prove that in modern perfumery is still possible to produce a concoction of ingredients that deserves to be called a FRAGRANCE! Very Good!
Rating: 8-8.5/10

I went to London to try out some of the new releases and was extremely non-plussed by all of them and just when i thought nothing was going to grab me i gave this a spray….absolutely fantastic. Spicy,manly and long-lasting with a nice smokey incense feel in the dry-down. it smells expensive and well made and will be on my ‘to get’ list.
GreyMater – :
This scent is simply amazing. It was just so rich, warm and spicy, smoky yet sweet. Such a complex bouquet that mixes so well. The only thing keeping me from purchasing this is the sillage.I don’t like that it stayed so close to my body. It had decent wearing power on me.
irchyk20008 – :
good review flannelman.
I could use the same words but I wont, english is not my main language so I’m not used with all the words.
Great fragrance here! I like it.
I like the basenotes, and safron well mixed in this concoction.
Reminds me costume national intense, with a plus of incense. Vey well crafted.

L’Homme Sage opens in a surprising fashion with a very intense, rich, warm powdery blast of saffron and, to a lesser extent, licorice. Quite a shock — unexpected but enjoyable! Citrus and milder fruit notes take the second role in the top notes.
After a couple of exhuberant minutes, the fragrance’s warmth continues to develop. But it’s definitely a different kind of warmth: less fiery/spicy, more subdued and enveloping. Smoky incense notes are the first to join in and gradually start to dominate the saffron, of which only a discrete spicy trail remains. The progression then continues at a slower but definite pace, and L’Homme Sage starts to glow with warm amber and patchouli, leading us to a discrete but gorgeous woody-ambery drydown. An unusual, compelling, rich, warm scent.
The Sage, it is said, is quiet, serene, and does not boast of his riches. And so is this fragrance. Wear it when in search of peace and quietness. It will warm your spirits and stay close to your skin.
