It also projects well by being discernible by the wearer’s entourage without overwhelming the room. Let me rephrase that. I don’t come from a where, but a when. And that when is the future of perfumery. The blend of Aromatic and Fougere ingredients marry with the warm lavender heart and floral notes reminiscent of geraniums. Furthermore, the presence of Tonka Bean releases characteristically fougere notes of coumarin. Base Notes The fragrance’s complex character marries hygiene with elegance through a subtle blend of refined aromas. The composition is exemplary of the Aromatic Fougere fragrance family. Head Notes I thought you’d never ask. As you may, or may not know, most fragrances for men belong to the aromatic family. That’s part of my blueprint. But my four creators tweaked me, with the help of A.I., into a futuristic version of the aromatic by pairing a classic note, lavender, with a totally unexpected green flash.

Meanwhile, musky labdanum adds a subtle animalistic and leather note, which interacts with the oak moss to create a distinctive tobacco accord. No more than any other scent since the dawn of perfumery! Except that the feel-good effect of my ingredients has been scientifically demonstrated. Which makes sense: Paco Rabanne has always been all about innovation. And if I may say so, this time they’ve outdone themselves. Agreed. But I’m different. I was conceived by a team of perfumers, Loc Dong, Juliette Karagueuzoglou, Dominique Ropion, and Anne Flipo, who were assisted by A.I, combined with neuroscience. My ingredients and the way they’re combined have been selected because neuroscientists have demonstrated they can activate brain areas associated with seduction, alertness, and energy. It’s the first time ever a fragrance was designed that way by Paco Rabanne. Thanks for your message! It’s funny you should say that because in our video review of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, I spoke with my 92 year old grandfather who’s been wearing it for many years too! It’s actually the scent that got me into fragrances.

The base is accompanied by respectively dry and sweet notes of musk and honey, which harmonise the oak moss’ freshness. Latent notes of sweet lime and bay leaves add a sensation of citrus and spice for a rounded finish. We know which parts of the brain are associated with specific emotions. Based on our findings, a dedicated algorithm analyzes the formulas of the fragrances we tested. This allows us to identify which ingredient, or combination of ingredients, produces a specific emotional effect.

The biggest difference is that the splash bottle comes in a clear glass bottle whilst the atomised bottle is a dark, smoked green. In any scenario, it’s composition makes for an unmistakably masculine fragrance that can’t be interpreted as a women’s perfume. Although this renders it unwearable for women, it establishes itself as a strong and resolute statement of virility. The Aromatic compounds provide an emblematic intricacy to the fragrance’s opening notes with a rosemary and Clary sage head. The aromatic, woody head dissolving into a floral yet dry heart denotes a sense of dry cleanliness. The result contributes to its association with traditional barbershop aromas whilst crafting an altogether different scent. The Lifecycle of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme A brief sensation of pine dominates the fragrance as it edges to the base, which once established, leaves a very robust scent. Wake & Strength

Overview

Nevertheless, it’s performance is impressive to say the least. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme offers a longevity that can easily last for well over a typical working day and into the evening. With 4 perfumers working as a team, I benefited from their combined expertise. Loc Dong got the ball rolling by coming up with the lavender and green citrus flash. Juliette Karagueuzoglou contributed with her in-depth knowledge of natural ingredients – and believe me, I may be high-tech, but I’m bursting with top-notch naturals. Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo, both Master Perfumers, polished my formula until I was perfectly faceted, ultra-powerful, and super-long lasting. Pure Paco, right? Pure Paco Rabanne. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is a distinctively seasonal fragrance. The fragrance family’s properties are quintessentially springtime, which it projects with minute accuracy. LC, JK: “Phantom is an aromatic fragrance. It has creamy notes of lavender built around three different lavender varieties. It has a strikingly energizing lemon facet, mainly made of styrallyl acetate (a molecule found in gardenia, tuberose and rhubarb, which gives a green and fresh spark to the top notes). Last but not least, a very sexy, creamy and woody dry-down brings a very Paco Rabanne addiction.” Interestingly, the interplay between the head and heart creates an experience not dissimilar to soap – specifically those used for shaving.
