Pour Un Homme de Caron Le Soir

pleasantly surprised!! opens with fluffy vanillic lavender topped with distinct fresh wood (oak) and green touch from cyprus, violet leaf nuances, comforting with dewy nature edge etc. Then takes a smooth creamy-powdery turn with orris coming thru, top notes rounded down, lavender-vanilla darkens and thickens a little. Not picking up incense/ambroxan distinctly yet, until after a few hours when they pop more as the other notes fade, with subtle nuances of spices like cardamom/pink pepper. Its nicely layered and I’m reminded of various scents at different points- myrrh and tonka, DHI, la nuit de l’homme, armani codes, even 40 knots and fking fabulous (havent smelt luna rossa). Overall this is a gorgeous smooth, dark (but not overwhelmingly), classy, effortlessly sensual scent with addictive components and just enough complexity. could benefit from being slightly more potent but nevertheless a perfect signature scent. looking forward to seeing if this changes with maceration,12 hours in its a strong skin scent so longevity is good. as a girl id say unisex leaning masculine. its a very well done subdued sexy. extremely versatile for layering too. my brother said it smells powdery like makeup/lipstick from the nozzle, true, but when sprayed its a little different. it becomes an elegant masculine powdery a few hours into wear

I was initially skeptical when I saw that Caron released a fragrance like this, thinking it would be a mere sellout to a tired designer trend of iris, sweet vanilla, and ambroxan. I am happy to say that Caron retains its classy French perfume house roots while successfully producing modern perfumes of great quality. The backbone of this fragrance is the original Pour un Homme lavender note with unsweetened vanilla. If you are familiar with the original, it’s unmistakable. It’s been described as a “Play-Doh note” and yes, that isn’t far off! But it is the signature accord in this line and I’m so glad they kept it. Soir adds a lovely supporting cast of iris, woods, and a llght smokiness. None of these notes dominate or intrude like they might in a lesser perfume house release. They are blended so well that the lavender remains the star- quite a feat given the modern penchant for syrupy sexy sweet men’s fragrances. This one never goes that direction, retaining a sophisticated subtlety throughout. This one probably won’t appeal to the bruhs looking for room-filling male enhancement. With recent offerings of Soir, Pour un Homme l’Eau, and Aimez Moi Comme Je Suis, it seems Caron is on a great track for the future.

My deep love for Caron Pour un Homme (PuH) comes from my dad. I've always enjoyed its light, gentle aroma. Recently, while looking to get a new bottle, I stumbled upon Le Soir. I read somewhere that it is supposed to be a modern rendition of PuH. I wanted to see how a modern rendition of PuH would smell, so I bought Le Soir instead. With great anticipation, I received Le Soir yesterday, and suffice it to say, the fragrance is a revelation. Le Soir takes the timeless elegance of PuH and enriches it with woody nuances that make the scent more enveloping, rendering the original almost monotonous in comparison. For those in search of a fragrance that pays homage to the classic while offering a novel twist, Le Soir proves to be a splendid choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it. EDIT (23.03.2024): After owning this perfume for a while, I have to say that I reach for it way less than as my initial impression above would suggest. It gives me vibes of Paco Rabanne One Million that I don't like that much. It's definitely more modern smelling than the original PuH, but not as classy.

Got the Le Soir sample with my fragrance purchase and I was kinda disappointed at first (because I thought Caron was a boring brand that makes meh fragrances), then I also looked at its rating online and my feeling about it got even worse. But then I tried it by spraying it on my shirt and I instantly fell in love with it. It is incredibly beautiful to me. It is quite potent too, even though it was only from a vial bottle. I can detect vanilla, lavender, incense, orris/iris, and oak. It is blended gorgeously and now I want to explore more from Caron because of how incredible it is. It smells a bit like Prada Luna Rossa Black, Dior Homme/Givenchy Gentleman EDP, and some other fragrances of the same type. This one is very smooth though, much smoother than Luna Rossa Black to me. Too bad it is not available to buy here as it is so rare, I couldn't even buy a sample of it, so I am totally lucky to even get this as a sample. I bet no one (or almost no one) in my country has tried this fragrance before. It is a hidden treasure for sure.

The og Caron PuHdC is one of my all time faves. This flanker is a kind of 21st century, DHI-inspired rendition of the original. I'm tempted to say that if you like PuHdC, as well as DHI and/or any of it's many cousins in designer-world, then this is 100% blind buy safe. For me, this is better than any similar Givenchy offering, and only slightly behind DHI. Maybe on par with Prada L'Homme Intense. Longevity is decent enough, and the profile is basically perfect; heavy lavender with tons of orris and a woody base. No one will write home about originality here, but so what. This is an excellent offering from a storied house, and you'll exude an air of sophistication and good taste while wearing it.

Another beautiful fragrance from the house of Caron. caron products are not very many and varied In fact, this company does not produce so much new But it has one of the masterpieces in the history of perfumery, the great Pour un homme Le Soir is pleasant, soft and cozy. has some similarity with givenchy gentleman eau de parfum its like mix of pour un homme and givenchy gentleman parfum. Lavender is so nice. soft vanilla and chocolate notes are detectable right after lavender fades out. longevity and sillage are both acceptable but it is not an atomic thing like red tobacco or rogue mousse illumini which i already got them. absolutely deserve a try.

This thing is pure class and it smells like heaven. The only problem, it's a "me" problem.I go nose blind after 2 hours just as I do with Lunarosa Black, they both share a concrete/asphalt very addicting note from the Tonka/Amber combo that just disappears in my nose. It is only $35 for the 75 ml so I don't care, you should definitely get this one if like Lunarosa Black. After some "maceration", the performance got way better, it is clearly not a monster but I can smell it for a good 7 hours with a mellow projection. High quality underrated cheapie.

My night out fragrance. Dark and woody but also sweet. Sweeter than i normally like but it works here. It's deep and rich and easy to sink into. It's caron so the lavender is of course fantastic. Doesn't feel super elegant to me though. More of a party vibe. Labeled as EDP Intense and that's no joke. One good spray is plenty and fairly loud. 2 sprays is almost overwhelming to me. I can even smell it on me into the following day. This makes it a fantastic value and the bottle will probably last me forever as it's not at all an everyday scent for me.

This is everything I wanted Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory to be. Victory was so promising but had a deoderant feel at its core and then got worse when it landed on its cheap incense note. Here all the cheap stuff from Victory is gone, replaced with quality. I get a similar dark woody vanilla brightened by clean lavender and ambroxan with green nuances from violet leaf, simmering down to chocolatey incensey goodness always lifted by the ambroxan. Thankfully the iris is very subtle, as there is only so many iris fragrances I can handle.

Gorgeous but simple. Nothing extravagant. A dusty slightly dark lavender. A touch of orris root and oak behind a vanillic, mostly tonka base. Think very much of Tom Ford Lavender Extreme or Hermetica Lavicense but with the vanillic aspect turned down and more dustiness. Also about 2/3 the volume with a good decent staying power. Very much a gentleman’s business version of the aforementioned selling for about the right price.

Lovely scent, if you like the Bvlgari Black DNA, which Luna Rossa Black also carries a big inspiration from, you will most likely be in love with this scent. I am extremely happy to have it in my collection, adding one more scent to my stable of this type of DNA. As @Tremere says, the votes on longevity is a off, this stays on my skin above 12+ hours, silage is somewhat correct, but I do get whiffs after 12+ hours.

There is something magical and addictive about this perfume. Few months ago I was in a one frag shop and I tested most Caron creation. I was pleasantly in shock how gorgeously perfumes are blended. They all got Caron vintage classy french signature but still interesting, timless and modrn. It not all bad about Rotchild then. They did oustanding job at Caron. Their inhouse perfumer was top addition for the brand.

Second day of owing this today, at work one of the guys said 'Damn what do you have on, it smells like a brothel' 😄 🤣 😂 I guess that's a good thing? 😄 Anyway, lovely smelling perfume. Wish it was a tad darker and longer lasting. It is an intimate type perfume. Rating so far is 8/10

A woman loving aromatic fragrances and lavender may easily wear this beauty. I prefer it over Pour Un Homme de Caron original. I found it at 75€ for 125 ml online, and I will be emptying the bottle quickly, it can be worn any season...

Smooth,Modern,Night time scent with quality. This is Easily way better blended than most Parfums at this price point. Solid longevity 8+ hours on skin for me. This hobby would be so more enjoyable if this was the quality standard.

If you work in an office, are 35+ and like the Givenchy Gentleman, Society or Dior Gimme line, just buy it. Buy it. Don't think about it, just buy it. Then come here and thank me👍

Soft smooth easy to use. I love Pour un homme de Caron. Le soir has everything Pour un homme de Caron has, but more aromatic and a bit darker. A love for me.❤️

profond et mysterieux la meilleur adaptation de cette fragrance historique.

This one has grown on me, if they fixed the opening this would be an absolute masterpiece. Without a doubt This became one of the best purchases I made in 2023. How I'd describe the fragrance. Grab a stiff drink as this is going to be silly The opening is like you're a child playing with play dough, you can smell waxy candles in the background. We're off to a great start, aren't we? No? Ok, I'm not alone! By the time it starts to dry down, it's like someone told the child to go play outside. It's getting darker out. Then give steroids to the poweriessness of the original Armani Code EDT. Now you're running around in a lavender field. It's quite an aromatic type of lavender. There are touches of sweetness that poke its head up every so often. This is far from a Paco Rabanne alleged "for him" fragrance such as Invictus EDT so don't worry. The heart and base notes come off with this green feel from the cypress and the woodiness of the oak. There's a smokiness to this as if someone is warming their house. It's so far in the distance that you may not notice the person lit the fireplace. The orris root (iris) is still there. DON'T WORRY, IT'S STILL THERE. calm down. Breathe slowly. It's so far in the background the first few wears that people may not notice it It gives a smooth touch at the very end of the fragrance. More so when the fragrance dries down. It took 3 months to really spot the violet leaf, tonka bean, or vanilla. They were really well hidden. It's like the child in that lavender fields little brother he's playing with. Darn, he's good at hide and go seek! Three fragrances this reminds me of are: 1) - La Nuit De L'homme - YSL or Salvatore Ferragamo F Black - the spiciness 2) - Armani - Code EDT (original) - the powderiness. Le Soir is way more powdery 3) - Givenchy - Gentleman EDP - the background you can see the similarities in how they used the "world's greatest" note iris in the background Compared to Givenchy Gentleman EDP as it was the #1 comparison when I wrote this. Some of these are splitting hairs, some aren't. I'll start off by saying this is not a clone in any way. Side by side on our hands if we sprayed them you'd know the difference. Even a friend or family member who isn't into fragrances will be able to tell these apart. Gentleman EDP has a better opening Gentleman EDP is not as grown up, it's way easier to wear Gentleman EDP is louder - not by much Gentleman EDP smells more expensive to me Gentleman EDP is sweeter in the opening , though by the dry down they are very similar Both will last 8-10 hours easily. Both are spicy - I like the spices used in Gentleman EDP more Le Soir has that very, very slight smoky touch that gentleman doesn't for definition Le Soir is slightly more grown up and mature of the two Le Soir has way more lavender in it As crazy as it sounds though the last 2 years my opinion has changed where I prefer Le Soir. If you spray this on about 20-30 minutes before you go anywhere this could be an easy one to wear, date nights as it does get quite "sexy" as one youtuber put it. Both are absolutely worth owning. On a bad day Gentleman EDP reminds me of a bag of marshmallows. Final thoughts. You'll either love it or hate it due to that opening as no one wants to smell like a kindergarten school teacher or candle maker. If you get past that it lives up to the name. It's a dark, sexy, night time fragrance. You'll pull people in. It's not sweet enough to go clubbing with but it absolutely has its purpose. Most importantly you've got to love lavender and powdery scents. I recently picked up Prada Luna Rossa Black and Le Soir is far better than it, but, if you like one you'll like the other.

As I said in my previous review of Pour Un Homme Le Matin, I'm a guy in my twenties, so I don't know Caron and their perfumes. I tried this one on me today and it's really beautiful... I'm surprised no one mentioned Yves Saint-Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme in the comments or in the "Reminds me" section, because it's very close in my opinion! To me, Pour Un Homme Le Soir is a take on YSL La Nuit De L'Homme EDT/Bleu Electrique (thanks to the lavender) with an iris twist, a bit reminiscent of Prada Luna Rossa Black and Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum. Like 80% LNDLH and 20% Luna Rossa Black/Gentleman EDP. I do, however, much prefer La Nuit De L'Homme Bleu Electrique (one of my all-time favorite perfumes by far), but I prefer Pour Un Homme Le Soir to the other two Prada and Givenchy perfumes mentioned above. It's a beautiful perfume, perfect for a date night. I get decent performance out of it, better than LNDLH EDT but less than Bleu Electrique (this one performs surprisingly well on me). I highly recommend you give it a try if you can, as it can be a good YSL La Nuit De L'Homme twist/replacement for those who have performance issues with the EDT and can't get Bleu Electrique, or just want to have a nice fragrance in the same vein.
