Description
The second fragrance for men takes the same shape of modern flacon, but is covered in navy blue leather this time and accentuated with seal of the brand in metallic silver form. The new composition aimed at men will be ‘clean, luminous and refreshing’ – as announced by the brand. The fragrance is signed by perfumer Steve Demercado of Fragrance Resources, who created the composition in the Mediterranean style, following fragrant coasts and intense colors. The compositions tarts with a blend of lemon, ozone and gin, along with fennel, blue cypress, juniper berries and French lavender, resting on a base of Atlas cedar, hot musk, white birch and artemisia.
Perfume Vince Camuto Homme will be available from April 1st 2014 as 50 and 100ml Eau de Toilette accompanied with stick deodorant 75 g. Vince Camuto Homme was certainly envisaged as a harmonious fragrant pair with the women’s edition Femme, which has recently arrived on the market.

I bought this for my husband… (I love Vince Camuto, VC Amore and VC Bella for women) My husband is sensitive to smells and some causes his sinuses or asthma to exhacerbate, but not this one. We love it!! It smell us as a masculine version of Vince Camuto for women… We were in a party and when we returned he still was smelling amazing!! Just love it!!!

There’s not really a whole lot to talk about here. I got a sample of this from Scentbird because I was intrigued by the gin note. Upon smelling this it is way more aquatic smelling than I expected even though it’s not an aquatic fragrance per se. That’s not a bad thing but this fragrance is dominated by the lemon and lavender notes in my opinion. It smells good but I felt that the gin, juniper, and the rest of the green notes kind of get drowned out in the background and I would have liked them to be more prominent. It’s a very fresh, safe scent. It’s very generic and there’s really not anything that stands out about it. The performance is below average as well. Overall I like this fragrance but it doesn’t blow me away.

I may have bought an old/bad batch, but this has to be one of my worst purchases ever. So bad I actually threw it away. Opened okay, but dried to a synthetic wreck. Definitely not for me and for sure not recommended as a blind buy.

Received as an early Christmas gift from a great friend and fellow scent aficionado…I’m not disappointed in the least! Smells wonderful, sharp and fresh. I have yet to test its longevity, and will do so in both colder and warmer weather. Although the scent is more of a warm weather fragrance, I do not necessarily subscribe to “scent etiquette,” but for a few of my collection; this will not be an exception to the rule.

Vince Cammuto’s “Homme” to me is both a disappointment and a surprise.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: when you smell fragrances in the store, you are being hit with their “best foot forward” and may not reflect the actual power or scent on your skin. That was my case yesterday and I should know better.
Okay, so I have been searching for sonething that scratched that itch left by the Ex Nilho 352 that I fell in love with but had terrible performance for its price. Juniper and citrus and clean.
The moment I smelled this in store it hit me like a ton of bricks: this may be a clone of EN352 and I bought it on the spot…at full retail -.-
On skin it has virtually no projection or sillage (just like the EN352) BUT it does stay fairly linear on the skin and lasted 16 hours on my scent-eating skin! If it projected more it might be in my top five automatically.
If you love Ex Nilho 352 but dont want to drop that kind of cash, then this VC Homme is actually a perfectly workable substitute!
Scent: 7/10 it is a bit synthetic and could come off generic but it is clean and fresh.
Projection: 3/10 sad panda.
Sillage: 2/10 sadder panda.
Longevity: 10/10 it lasts fotever as a skin scent!

Just terrible performance, like seriously 0. Smells like a nice general generic cologne clean and fresh but wow theres no projection longevity or sillage just water. EDP is the way to go. niche edp. designers are so weak and just bland.

it smells “white” clean, fresh, aromatic, dry, reminds me of gucci made to measure. Between made to measure, success, and this i would go with success from trump. They’re all in the same realm. Made to measure being second. Its very safe and performance is moderate also more dressy casual than just casual but the most casual of the others. warm weather friendly. I say even a high schooler can pull this off. it does kind of smell like “colone” and its syntheticish. reviewers below really did this bottle justice with their reviews
VladimirH1980 – :
Not bad. This smells better coming off you from a few feet away or in passing than it does when you stick your nose up close to it. It’s a fresh, kind of cold, citrus-juniper scent that’s on the synthetic side (a little scratchy and abrasive on the nose, and at times it has that calone-like, chemical smell to it). There’s a generic “freshness” to it as well, but I’d say the juniper note is well done enough to put this just on the better side of average. This is a casual, warm weather fragrance. I notice a lot of people are picking up on gin in this, but I didn’t get much of that–maybe an attempt at gin, but nothing like the real thing. If you really want a good, summer gin fragrance that also uses citrus notes, L’Humaniste is the place to look. These don’t smell alike except for maybe a very vague generality. Projection is good, longevity about average. Fragrantica currently scores this a 3.18 out of 5 and I’d say that’s about the perfect rating for Vince Camuto Pour Homme. I’m more or less neutral on it, leaning toward a slight thumbs up.

It’s like a less interesting Gucci Made to Measure (and I bet many thought that wasn’t even possible!)
It’s basically just the rubbery juniper accord of Made to Measure from top to bottom. Along with the juniper overdose there is a hint of fennel, along with some dry papery woods, but… that’s about it.
It’s actually pleasant if you’re looking for a dry, and yet “white” smelling clean scent for men that thankfully isn’t sweet but is instead rather bracing, almost astringent. That being said, I think there are more interesting fragrances that are similar, such as Micallef’s Le Professionel and Royal Vintage, Bond’s Scent of Peace for Him. Even Trump’s Success is similar (thanks to the prominent juniper) but has a fair bit more going on.

Absolutely love this fragrance. Gives you that Mediterranean water freshness with stone warm woods. It is made with some oil some great wear. Love it! !!!!!

Aromatic starts out the gate with freshness,but 20 minutes later,it fades out quite a bit, Camuto black is much better scent in terms of longevity and sillage, this ends smelling like alot of the newer generic aromatic, fresh, a little spicy kinda vibe,very shower gel like scent,which a lot of fragrances are doing these days.

The original Vine Camuto was had a gorgeous classic looking bottle, with the black leather.. This one however just ruined the entire look! They took the same classy bottle and turned it blue! Now it looks extremely cheap to me.. Not to mention the fragrance inside.. The original was nothing special but it was a very light pleasant fragrance.. This one I am not a fan of..

Brought this from Macy’s and I love it. The smell is great and the longevity is more than 12 hours. Even after I take a shower, I could still smell some of the scent left on my skin. However, the sillage is next to none. I put on 3 sprays and asked my friend if he could smell it, and he said he couldn’t smell it even after he got really close. Then the next time I put on 6 sprays, and he still couldn’t smell it unless he put his nose really close to my body.
I would highly recommend this cologne for guys who already have girlfriends, so that way she could smell it when you have body contacts.

An overzealous sales associate sprayed me with this nightmare while shopping over the weekend. I had to wash my arm about four times to rid myself of this screamingly loud aroma-chemical bomb. Imagine the smell of one of those Axe bodysprays, multiplied by ten. The only comparison I can make is that this could be a much more vulgar version of Bond’s new Scent of Peace for Him. I’m not a fan of that (also loud) fragrance, but the Bond comes across as subtle and civilized when compared to this mess.
I get that everyone has different tastes, but disliking VC Homme is not a matter of elitism. VC Homme is just screechy and loud – the fragrance equivalent of a police siren.
Alex Wolf – :
So I was thinking this smells like something I have owned and was running through Creed and Bond. Then it hit me. This and L’humaniste by Frapin are quite close. This is a bit thicker for some reason, maybe the cedar or birch the same way Guelain Homme is, but they are quite similar and I give this the edge due to performance!
Kapay – :
Smelling this on a paper sample. I’m sure it’s more complicated out of the bottle, but it reminds me of Love & Luck. At least the citrus part of it. It’s not bad. Not really smelling anything terribly unique, but it does smell pleasant.

I just sampled this on paper today from Macy’s. It smells nice but I am getting very strong resemblance to Nautica Voyage. I sprayed some of my NV on a paper strip and put them side by side and to me they smell identical. Anybody else getting that? If that’s the case I will just stick with my NV for half the price.
EDIT: I’m smelling the paper strip a couple of days later and it still smells nice. It is actually brighter than NV and I am really liking it. I am putting this down for some more testing and possible consideration. Hopefully some of you can share about the projection and longevity on the skin.
dimon_ch – :
picked it up today.. smells great.. can’t wait to fully test in the summer.
Klinlch – :
Just tried this today at Macy’s as it just came in. I really enjoyed the scent and the longevity. This might be my next purchase for summer 2014. I had Eternity Aqua last year for summer and reeived tons of compliments when wearing it.

I actually like this one. The opening is very beautiful with a delicious juniper berry note, it is much more fruity and sweeter than I would have imagined.
The gin is quite nice in the opening but burns off sort of quick, I really wished that stayed around a bit more. The citrus is quite nice (but not different from most) but it is the juniper berry in the opening that really gives this a unique aroma and seperates it from others in department stores.
Now even more interesting is the drydown, though it is quite light by this time it is still presence but the juniper is accompanied by a nice birch note that gives it a leathery feel with a slight nice musk to add to the base. It is like a soft fresh/musky leather with juniper berry and where I believe that many youngsters may avoid it but not necessarily. It has a light mature vibe something I think Creed could conjure up.
Well I think this is a nice one. I almost considered buying it. This is a deeper more sweet and fruity Chopard Cedar feel. Again the first hour or so is terrific and quite unique to me, the next 3 are solid and the last 2-3 it is close to the skin but mature and classic.
Overall this is nice at retail, though I wish it projected a bit more. I still give this one a 3.5 out of 4 maybe even a 3.75. My designer mark is always somewhere around Bleu De or Allure Sport or L’Homme and I think this could compete with any of those.
sj24 – :
It’s pleasant; definitely agree that women will enjoy it more. It got soooo soft and floral on the drydown for me though, I don’t know if I would wear it often enough. This is good juice, it’s just doesn’t mix with my chemistry. Oh and don’t trust the main accords above if you’re considering a blind buy.

I bought this 2 weeks ago from Macy’s, this fragrance is light, yet masculine, very pleasing, something that a young, clean cut guy would wear with casual clothing. It’s very modern, and women like the smell, this is perfect for summer. So, here’s a heads up, ignore the older, out of date, fragrance snobs that will comment soon, complaining about how generic it smells, they’ve said that about some of the best smelling fragrances around. I’m 22 and know what the young women like, try this panty dropper. You’ll get the compliments from the young ladies, and even more. lol

I got this scent like 3 weeks ago, surprised it’s just now being released on the site.
Anyways, at first spray my girl fell in LOVE. She basically made me buy it right then and there.
It’s very fresh (like most other “fresh” scents). I do, however like this very much as well. I get a strong ‘green grapefruit’ vibe with leather backing it up – a very fresh leather.
Anyways, this will be one of my main summer scents this year
The longevity is good but it seems to be one of those ones you can’t smell on yourself but others can smell it on you. Three times so far I have worn this and several (6-8) hours later (even overnight once) my girlfriend said I smelt amazing – unfortunately I had no idea it was still around.
Overall: 7.5/10
