Really lovely lavender, cinnamon, floral and vanilla juice. Longevity and silage are good. Mine changed color from purple to a blue but the smell stayed the same.

Unfortunately, I was a little underwhelmed. I blind bought an unreformed bottle and was expecting more magic. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a quality here. Mauboussin Homme is done well, but the composition as a whole comes off a bit generic for me. If you own a bunch of fragrances already, chances are you’re already going to have something that smells pretty similar to this one.
Mauboussin Homme Is not offensive in any way, in fact, I was disappointed in it’s stamina. The juice feels like it can’t be oversprayed, so I guess it’s a good thing that the sprayer is so aggressive.
If you could tone down the sweet and incense of Zirth Icon, you’d basically have Mauboussin Homme. I’ll use it sparingly due to my bottle’s unreformulated nature. If you love Versace Dreamer or Zirth Icon, you may want to try this one.

I have the newest version where the cap comes off instead of the twist cap. I think nearly all versions are EDP at the moment.
I was kind of excited to try this one but honestly I am a bit let down. At the top I get the slightest whiff of rosemary followed by patchouli and lavender. After 30 min to an hour, I only get a slightly soapy, earthy patchouli. Doesn’t do much else. For some reason the scent seems heavily diluted.
Projection is close to the skin but the longevity is above average. Will test it out more. Pricing is great however.
6/10

Mauboussin Pour Homme is such a joy to wear. This fragrance is just perfectly blended, and the note separation is very clear and seamless. The opening blast of cinnamon, patchouli and lavender is richly sweet and spicy. Then this lovely vanilla note emerges from the opening and just before it seems like another layer of sweetness is going to make this scent cloying, we are treated to some wonderfully blended herbs with this vanilla. The sage and rosemary harmonize perfectly with the vanilla note, which is eventually rounded out with a very creamy sandalwood. MPH veers almost on the verge of niche level here, with how well these notes are blended. Considering MPH’S price point it’s truly impressive. The fragrance is finally leveled out with a nice musk and bergamot combo. The notes are all there, each one perfectly balanced, and blended so effortlessly not one note sticks out or comes off dominant, which is to be commended (considering that there are only nine notes listed). This fragrance is simple, and shines in it’s simplicity. MPH is perfect for winter or fall and could also work well on cooler spring nights. MPH can be worn in the office or with smart or casual dress. Give MPH a spray on a fall night when it is your turn to plan the date and you want to unveil your favorite spots around town with confidence.

Spicy throughout – floral and sweet as it transitions into the base, then it remains herbal and musky.
Not as playful as I was hoping but it’s classy and the cinnamon is nothing like a Gucci II, Spicebomb or 1 Million.
Bottle looks great however the sprayer is fiddly and a plastic piece below the cap needs to be removed for it to depress completely. Rotate the top to activate the sprayer.
6 out of 10 and decent for the price if used during the fall.

This scent seems to smell different on different days. Sometimes the lavender dominates other times it’s the softer vanilla and cinnamon and occasionally it’s the rosemary, then there are the days when they all come together. I think it’s well blended and is really easy to wear.

I agree with the positive reviews about this fragrance, it is just nice to wear and is classy and well blended, quality packing and bottle design for a steal, and you can be sure not many guys around would be wearing since here I the US since this brans is more known in Europe I am getting most of their fragrances for men and getting curious abut the femme ones 🙂

Fabulous fragrance ! Great assembly of lavander, cinnamon and … rosemary ! Brilliant, it really touches senses, unlike any “aqua di …” and other expensive stuff ! Great for evening and nights, formal or informal.

@SirMasterpiece:
I have both formulations. The earlier, muskier and far longer lasting.
The later, less muskier and with very average longevity, still as well complimented and nice as the earlier.

This review is for the original EDP that comes in the box with the purple stripe along the bottom (still widely available on eBay).
I’m not going to go into much depth here other than to say that this is a very good spicy lavender fragrance with great hold and vibrancy and a nice woody vanilla base. At first sniff it reminded me of a more wearable and modern Jaipur Homme–a sort of spicy-powdery scent, but Mauboussin is more masculine due to the presence of patchouli and the lack of significant floral notes (other than the lavender, of course). There’s a certain “stickiness” to the fragrance, and I mean that in the best way possible. I’ve noticed this quality in Masculin Pluriel by MFK as well, and it seems someone else also finds them similar. This might be attributed to the combination of lavender, cinnamon, and vanilla. All in all, a solid offering from Mauboussin, a good barbershop fougere that avoids the stereotypical aftershave smells and maintains a fresh, updated appeal. Feel is casual to semi-formal, longevity and projection are both average to a little above. Thumbs up and available for a more than reasonable price.

The first time I tried Mauboussin Homme was back in 2006 in its EdT format. I didn’t like it, it smelled like a cheaper, woodier JPG Le Male to me then. Fast forward to June 2015 and I bought a bottle of the EdP format, purely on a whim.
Wow. Nothing like the EdT I remembered. It seems nowdays only the EdP is available, with the EdT dropped from circulation.
Lavander, cinnamon, sage, and rosemary conspire for the first 5 to 10 minutes to recall the scent of a freshly opened jar of ground cloves. That really worried me at first; I’m not old enough to be familiar with the medical applications of clove, but I have my gripes with unrestrained clove notes. But just when I started to think about washing it off, it the musk, patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood base rose to temper the top and the heart and worked to create a really lovely, masculine, but not macho musk-patchouli-spice accord. This is about 15 minutes into the development of the fragrance. It remains this way more or less for the rest of its impressively long dry down, and all the while from top to bottom churns out a consistently moderate sillage.
I get many compliments from men and women alike, and like it enough myself to have gone through an entire bottle between June 15 and October 16 of this year.
A niche or higher end desginer quality cologne at a very affordable price.

Purchased as a blind buy (was heavily reduced in price) took it home went out for a few drinks the same night, perfect excuse to try it out.
Gave 2 sprays on neck, 1 each wrist and couple on tshirt for good measure.
Initialy panicked as was a fairly extreme cinamon and lavender scent, after 10minutes though starts to calm down, takes on a rather sweet and complex spicy note, still holds the lavender and cinamon but less intense. To my nose and my girlfreind its a very attractive scent and its complexity gives it a sense of class.
The EDP lasts on my skin for around 4hrs and on clothes for an additional hour or 2 more depending on conditions.
a solid 8/10

This just exudes the 80s, it is line with the YSL Rive Gauche for Men, Quorum, Catalyst, Sybaris, and when men were men, drove Porsches, and smoked cigars. I got this for £12 all in form a certain auction site. I have to say I got one the Tom Ford, Noir de Noir, and that should be Grandma, de Grandam, it just reminds me of an old peoples home, and cost me over £100 for 50ml, this I am sniffing my wrist and thinking wow this is fab. I think a few people have mentioned that this is very underrated and I conquer. what a frag. It is a lovely bottle to. This bottle could actually be the inspiration of the Cucumber building in London. Just buy it blind, as man others, it is wonderous. It does have a minty juniper, woodsy aroma, and dark.Actually this should be what TF Noir de Noir should smell like, and this should attract the price TF is going at. I may just buy another at this price how can you go wrong, oh and its EDP strength too.

edp:
Ok… in terms of price vs quality, this exceeds all expectations. Performance is strong and the scent is above average. It definitely feels masculine. It doesn’t blow my mind, or make me think differently about the universe, but it’s good enough to go into the rotation. If you’re looking for a “sleeper” scent on a budget – here it is.

RIBLYASYDAY – 2022-06-07:

I’m reviewing the EDT version. An oddity in the oriental fougere category, Mauboussin is a combination of 1970’s green, earthy Geoffrey Beene Bowling Green meets the patchouli, rosemary and oakmossy dry down of Bijan Men but all done with a refined subtlety and command of an Alberto Morillas like talent and attention to detail. Extremely original and unique if you happen to get an unblemished, non reformulated bottle. The patchouli here is beautifully balanced with the vanilla, cinnamon and lavender and in today’s market would be presumed to be of niche quality. The EDT is subtle, 2-3 sprays are most suitable and the classical elements here invoke a timelessness; merging the 1970’s love for earthy and green with a modern sense of minimalism; that was frowned upon in the 1980’s but has become the essence of most designer releases since the mid 2000’s.
If you love subtle spices and extremely green patchouli and garden herbs without the tobacco note so common in most releases with the same ingredients, this one is for you. That being said, this isn’t for everyone. It’s a more mature scent for men who have worn the classic 1960s and 1970s releases for a significant time in their life and are looking for a more subtle, less intrusive work-place fragrance that invokes many of those memories but does so in a more balanced and less overloaded note layout.
The opening is mostly lavender and rosemary in a way that suggests the presence of oakmoss. After about ten minutes the cinnamon comes into the balance but never dominates, balanced by the patchouli and lavender, emanating a green and herbal essence. After an hour to and hour and a half this dries down into a soft organic vanilla, sandalwood, light cinnamon and patchouli accord that is subtle but well done. Longevity for the EDT is 6-10 hours on average, with mild weather around 3-10 C or 40-55 F most effective for this one. Sillage is subtle enough for the work-place but prominent if you spray more than 4-5 sprays.
Scent: 8.25/10
Longevity: 8/10
Sillage: 6.75/10
Creativity: 8.5/10
Value: 8.75/10

Anyone blind buying this should be aware the EDP has been recently reformulated. I got one of these from FragranceX. The new version comes in a box without the violet band around the bottom as pictured above. Rather, it is a solid brown colour with 2 thin stripes up the sides, along with the new “X”/bird logo.
After I placed my order there was a comment/review added to the FragranceX website that complained it was a “chemical mess”, not like before and the buyer was demanding a refund. This comment only lasted a few days so I am not sure if it was “voted off” like comments can be done here or FragranceX deleted it. Anyway, I was forewarned. Sure enough, when I got it I agreed. There is an initial smell of chemicals which hangs around for hours. No doubt, there is more going on than that but I am unable to make an objective review because I can’t get past the chemicals. This reformulation is so different to the original and so bad it makes me wonder why Mauboussin would want to trash their brand so much. They are supposedly a high-end jeweler. It would be like them using cut glass instead of gem stones.
This new EDP version is selling cheaply online which is driving down the price of the original formulations so if you can find them, get them before they disappear. I have stocked up with 3 EDP and 4 EDT. I asked fragrancenet which version they are selling and after 3 inquiries all they would tell me is they cannot guarantee which version you get. As far as I have been able to tell, the EDT has not been reformulated so that will always be the original.
All versions of this perfume have now been removed from the official website so I guess it is now officially discontinued.
The cynic in me thinks that Mauboussin had a large inventory of empty bottle they wanted to get rid of economically so they filled them up with anything cheap.

First, this has to be the most ergonomically design bottle. Not only it looks great, but the flip sprayer is genious and…..the darn thing fits perfectly in one hand for spraying. It practically becomes an extension of your hand!!!.
The scent itself, it’s simply perfect. It starts very very aromatic, projecting like it wants to choke you. Herbal lavender with mint!!. At this stage, is similar to TL pour Lui, but TL moves into the gourmand territory, while this one, becomes a lavender, cinamonn and vanilla scent…but very well done. It smells sophisticated, expensive.
Lasts for ever, projects great and it is totally unisex. Has a little bit of a barbershop smell, but just a bit.
Bought M Generation because of this one……and that one, is for trained noses only, I guess for niche guys. But that is another review for another day.

EDP
For starters, the shape of the bottle and the design of having to twist the top to spray it has certainly intrigued me. When I first sprayed it on my skin, I get a herbal blast of sage and rosemary followed by a high note of lavender giving it a real aromatic aroma. After 15-30 minutes later, the herbal notes slightly soften followed with a warm/sweet aroma of musk/patchouli and vanilla which comes shining through making it ABSOLUTELY STUPENDOUS to wear during the fall/winter months especially during the evening making it very luxurious.
Longevity and Silage are very high quality lasting well past 10hrs hours on my skin spraying it once only.
Overall opinion,
This was practically a blind purchase because the boutique where I shop a lot didn’t have a tester bottle so I had to base my decision on other’s reviews. I want to thank almost everyone’s sincere opinion on this TRULY AMAZING FRAGRANCE!!!! Rating this fragrance is no different than those who have already rated this fragrance. Personally less then a 10/10 would be so unfair to this GEM.
This fragrance isn’t just great….it’s nectar from the God’s making it ABSOLUTELY STUPENDOUS!! If you are curious and your not sure…take my word the review below are accurate, you won’t regret buying it. :))))))))

I blind bought this on the notes,(EDP) this reminds me of rochas man, no they dont smell similar but they have a playful sexy vibe.This is kinda soft and has date night written all over it! well report on longevity later.
I take back “soft” this is toying with beast mode.
but for now I am enjoying!
took me a moment to figure out how to spray it 😉

I’m sorry to crash the party with some bad news but this one is not good at all. I blind bought the EDP version from reading all of the rave reviews and when I finally got it I was disappointed. Unless I got a bad bottle, this stuff isn’t appealing and for a EDP concentration the strength and sillage is rather wimpy, flat and below average soon after application. I bought this from Amazon themselves and while most experiences have been good, there have been a few where I have suspected a bad bottle where the fragrance has lost its strength and potency but that may also have to do with companies changing with their formulas because of regulations or saving costs. Perhaps this may be the case here because a fragrance that is ten years old like this one most definitely has been reformulated in today’s fragrance market so Mauboussin Homme may just be the victim of a reformulation, because as it stands today, I can’t justify purchasing this one.

A masterpiece. Must be tried. Both the eau de toilette and eau de parfum are equally outstanding.
Very similar to Maharadjah from Parfums Nicolai.

This stuff just smells good. I love reading all the comments on Luca Turin and his take on different scents. Not sure why it means anything to anyone unless you have his nose. We all interpret scents a bit differently and always will. If you like it wear it, if you don’t, don’t. Nobody else’s opinion really matters.

Funny thing, I wore Mauboussin pH today and very short afterwards I felt I was wearing Lalique Lion for Summer, the same smell but much quiter and soft, ideal for hot weather. The fans of Lion’s shoud try Mauboussin for it is more wearable and versatile being not so strong.

Great composition! Striking, but elegant. Lots of vanilla, cinnamon and lavender, opening reminds us of Azzaro Visit, the measure evolve, brings to mind TL Pour Lui

Damir-Messi – 2022-06-07:

So I just received my sample vial (EDP), and I must say that I’m starting to enjoy this fragrance. Initially, I tried the fragrance on paper and all I got was a very strong spicy scent… reminiscent of an ashtray. I was even more depressed when my wife expressed disdain towards the smell. Thankfully, I tried on my skin and it’s really growing on me (wife still doesn’t approve). From the first dab, I guess it’s the lavender and spices that give it that medicinal smell. The transition from the top to mid remind me so much of Mesmerize by Avon, and I hear that one is similar to Zino. The mid introduces the sage and patchouli which transitions this to a smooth spicy/floral – now it resembles Gucci Envy. The base sweetens the fragrance and that soapy sandalwood and vanilla combo starts to shine, while retaining some spice from the mid. I consider the base a spicier Boucheron Jaipur with that soapy vanilla lingering. This is extremely elegant and embodies a dark, mysterious scent. It’s a great find for any age group needing a very well made oriental that you can dress up.

A beautiful oriental/floral scent. I have the EDP and it is a luxurious long lasting fragrance with good silage. A little reminiscent of Sung Homme but only a little. As already stated, it does have a medicinal note in there (I think from the cinnamon) but it is a pleasant one. The overall impression is that this is a sweet, floral, soapy, fresh, patchouli scent with some vanilla and woods which is really lovely and well formulated. Good job too, because I bought this blind. Mauboussin Homme is a lovely perfume and definitely in my top ten.

HelsErrokeZer – 2022-06-07:

This starts off a bit like the latest version of Third Man, then becomes more like a cross between Blv Notte Pour Homme and the Gucci Envy for Men crowd (which includes Carven Homme, ST Dupont Signature Pour Homme, and several others). If you think you’d like this, then you should sample this one. If you are expecting a great sandalwood note in the base, I think you’ll be disappointed, however. This is similar to so many “men’s” fragrances released recently, in that it is loaded up with top notes but the base is not particularly interesting. Decent quality, though.

Mebpj621Diobtetty – 2022-06-07:

An awesome aromatic opening with a wonderful lavender note and sharp rosemary. It’s astringent and awakening, and settles down soon enough that it is not irritating in the least. Seriously a wonderful opening. The heart flattens out a bit and seriously begins to resemble Armand Basi PH (the white and black bottled one). No surprise, I suppose, as they share a ton of notes.
The lavender persists longer here though, and the heart is a bit less ‘plasticky’ than Armand Basi PH. The scent feels more 3-dimensional than the Basi all through its development, in large part to the aromatic lavender note persisting all the way into the dry down. Whereas Basi PH begins to smell more and more like Body Kouros as it dries down, Mauboussin Homme begins to take on shades of Davidoff Zino thanks to the prominent patchouli in the base.
This scent is indeed dark and mysterious, and yet quite sexy and easy to wear.
I definitely think it is a step above Armand Basi PH, the scent which it is most similar to, and would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a versatile and sexy scent that still has a lot of classic elements (it’s got a lot of fougere blood in it).

pao847Negeltzex – 2022-06-07:

This is one of my very favorite fragrances (the EDP). Someone once mentioned that it is a ‘transparent’ fragrance, and I would have to agree. It has a certain elegance which I have not found elsewhere. It is delicate, yet unmistakably masculine. Mauboussin Homme is a very formal fragrance, which I would wear with a tuxedo in a very formal setting. I consider it be the most formal, elegant fragrance that I own. If anyone out there is looking for a really ‘lady killer’ fragrance, this is the one which I would most enthusiastically recommend. It is absolutely “GORGEOUS”!!! You cannot overspray this one.

a good perfume, but .. just a good perfume .. the beginning really reminds some sort of smell of the hospital, but 15 minutes is less intrusive.

immillaunap – 2022-06-07:

Mauboussin Homme seems to be another of the fragrances that vary substantially between edp and edt concentrations. This sort of difference is a common enough in women’s perfumes, but having two concentrations at all is uncommon in men’s fragrances, nonetheless two concentrations that vary qualitatively from each other. I have the edp.
My overall conclusion is that I’ve found another contested ground between Luca Turin and myself, the first being his boredom with and my love for a glaring mixed-white floral. The second is lavender. Caron pour un Homme is one of the few fragrances I truly dislike, yet is in Turin’s 5-star category. He found Mauboussin Homme somewhere between tired and tedious, if I may paraphrase. I have to say his beau frère characterization is clever, but I don’t find MH to be the unpleasant relative.
MH connects the minty-medicinal feel of lavender to the camphorous cool of patchouli by highlighting both with culinary herbs. Both the lavender and the patchouli are long-lasting and the feel that their pairing produces last through the drydown. As to the notes listed for drydown, vanilla? sandalwood? Not so much. But there does appear to be a musk that keeps a Cliff Notes version of the topnotes, condensed and with lower wattage sillage, intact through drydown.
The concept that keeps MH interesting and lively is the contrast presented by lavender, whose very name literally speaks of its cleanliness, and patchouli, which on a certain level smells like fancy dirt. Clean/dirty. MMmmm.

i happened to me the same as to skitten… i ordered a bottle by thinking it was a big bottle of the womans fume which i love so mutch.
by getting the parcel and open it, i was so disapointed to see it’s for men.
then my husband try it out and it’s a truly fantastic mens-smell! he was impressed too and he loves to wear it especially for nights out. verrrry sexy ! love the cinnamon-vanilla compo and that hint of medicine-smell. settles down warm and cosy, vry nice sillage.
it’s even quite unisex in my opinion but i still prefere that one for women for me. the woman who’s looking for an androginity scent, this it is.
smells very elegant and luxury as the fantastic beautiful bottle lookes like. (our bottle looks like this one but it is in a silver contaier which ‘wraps’ and holds the bottle and you don’t have to take it out to spray.)
guess this is a special edition i catched when bought. it looks just stunning. can’t find pictures on the net of it unfortunately.
a few drops are going far, i can still smell it on my hubby in the evening when he comes home from a working day. love it!

I made a mistake, and ordered 2 bottles, thinking it was the female Mauboussin EDP,as no picture of the bottle was available at the time………..When it arrived I nearly cried……Pour Homme, EDP it said…….. woas me!!
But in my obssesive perfume curiosity, I opened one… sprayed it on my arm…..and as Kismet would have it, I actually find this very evocactive and sensual. It settles down into a really delicious, warm, kinda sweet, lemony meriangue, desirable and yummy sensation. A bit like Ivy, Marc Jacobs and way better, as it is EDP and the scent lasts forever, if you like that creation. Most mens fumes taint my tastebuds, and I feel like they disturb my sense of taste. Mauboussin Pour Homme I highly recommend to anyone wanting a quality mens fragrance. I do love Mauboussin fragrances. A mans one I will wear…xx
