Enrico Coveri Pour Homme

ooooooh I'd never even heard of this until last week and I'm happy I tried it because boy was it an enjoyable experience. Sadly it was short-lived a the modern bottle of this is pretty weak but while it did stick around, I loved the feel of this perfume. Is it like many a masculine aromatic of the 80's era? Yes! it is. I think the crucial difference which sets this apart is the progression of the notes and the freshness/transparency. The 80's masc is not renowned for it's subtlety (hence the moniker 'Powerhouse') and many of them are giant, bludgeoning, sledgehammers, this is very smooth and with almost JCE, transparency (bearing in mind this is a modern bottle and might just be a little meek compared to a vintage) I found a fresh opening a, bracing citrus followed by a spicy, woody leather and then the best part a prominent, geranium note with that lovely undertone of mint, captured perfectly by this. A friend of mine (unfortunately I can't take credit for this) said it was like a man shaving and washing at a sink, perhaps applying an old aftershave while brushing his teeth with minty toothpaste at the same time. Perfect imagery. The spices in this have a cooking warmth, a mellow cinnamon/nutmeg, then the base a mossy leathery wood, albeit gone far too soon because that's just as enjoyable as the opening. All in all I get why some of the 'reminds me of' are listed here, I really do.... there's certainly shades of Smalto or Tsar but I would probably add references like Malle's geranium pour monsieur, Halston Z14, and even perhaps the light hearted feel of something like Cacherel pour homme. I loved this perfume and even at it's current version complete with pathetic duration on skin, I'd like a bottle because I ony had a small sample, so if I drench myself/spray clothing and hair, It might just be a goer. A pleasant surprise.

I have the current Evaflor version of Enrico Coveri pour Homme in EdT, and a "vintage" Euroitalia version after-shave. The new version is very faithful to the vintage, in my opinion. The opening is stronger and a bit harsh in comparison: I think the Clary Sage overpowers the other notes at first, providing more of a "green" element than in the vintage. Perhaps that might be explained by the age of the vintage bottle: was the opening more powerful when the juice was fresh? Regardless, within about thirty minutes the fragrance balances out, and from that point on I find the two versions to be indistinguishable, and of the highest quality. ECpH is a warm Mediterranean fragrance with impressive longevity despite moderate silage. This is the kind of fragrance that makes me appreciate the perfumer's art: at different times I think I can recognize almost all the diverse ingredients, yet collectively they fuse into something all its own. The amber, musk and oakmoss notes combine for a wonderful long-lasting base that brings to mind vintage Xeryus which is high praise in my opinion. It's not often (never?) that I praise a re-release, or "update" to a quality fragrance, so I am pleasantly surprised to do so for the new version of Enrico Coveri pour Homme. I give it a strong recommendation, and am happy to see that the price is reasonable.

That was a perfume! I was a little more than a kid when this wonder got to the market, but i loved it to bits. I had my well established collection of mini bottles (i started collecting fumes since i was 5 years old, now i collect full bottles lol) and this one was one of my prides. Fresh, aromatic fougere, smelled like lavender in the woods. The conifer accent was very present. The spices are so well blended, you get mainly freshness... however well grounded to the base during all its duration. At the time, it was a sillage monster and to me that's how any men should have smelled. Grand. Distinguished. Refined. I haven't smelled the current available version, but i have my mini bottle from the eighties. The bottle is forest green. Probably no one knows but the very first edition of this perfume was called Enrico Coveri "Dollars". With a final $. Yep, green bottle like green dollars. Then after a few years the name "Dollar$" - yes super tacky - subsided and the perfume was left only with the Enrico Coveri pour homme denomination. The title "Dollars" was printed both on the bottle and on the box in silver print. My mini bottle is like that. Maybe it should go to a museum.

UPDATE: I've been wearing this increasingly, it's a nice, sharp, less conspicuous alternative to the well known "traditional rugged man" fragrances like Polo Green or Drakkar Noir, and mainly comprises tarragon & thyme. Very easy to wear; has gradually become my signature scent for summer. First impressions review: This seems to be on its way out, at least in the UK, so curiosity and opportunity got the better of me and I grabbed a lightly used bottle whilst I could. A very familiar but well executed, clean-green classic. Opens up extremely fresh, with tarragon clearly perceptible, giving a minty aniseed feel. Next, a bodily funk comes in - previous reviewers have described it as 'clean scrotum', 'armpit' or 'sex after a shower'😆, and it's definitely there! No idea which note is giving this, but it passes quite quickly, until we enter a green, Drakkar Noir-like phase, led by moss and pine, before driying down to something more musky. Overall the texture is sharp, and I think more appropriate for warm weather than cold. Really good!

Enrico Coveri pour Homme is an underrated, high-quality fougere. A fougere that's absolutely wearable even today, despite having been released in the 1980s. Lavender, bergamot, sandalwood, patchouli, pine, geranium, and oakmoss: a perfect mix for an elegant yet not overly serious aromatic fougere. It's cheerful in its elegance. Obviously, a twenty-year-old would find it dated, but a seasoned perfume enthusiast would find it excellent. I highly recommend the Euroitalia vintage version, which has a qualitatively superior blend compared to the otherwise good reformulations. The cheerful style of the 1980s in a bottle! Enrico coveri pour homme è un fougere aromatico tipico degli anni 80 elegante ma allegro, raffinato ma anche casual. La versione vintage è veramente buona! Scent-8,5 Longevity - 8 Sillage-8 Uniqueness-7,5 Versatility-8 Compliment factor-7 Presentation-8 Backup bottle? Yes My vote - 8,5 In one word- nice Alternative - Krizia uomo, Givenchy xeryous, drakkar noir... The review is based on the vintage EUROITALIA version..

Enrico Coveri Pour Homme is a charming, classic fragrance that captures the essence of 80s masculinity with a fresh, aromatic profile. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus—lemon, bergamot, and orange—blended with herbal notes of basil and lavender for a clean, invigorating start. As it develops, the scent reveals a spicy heart of nutmeg and clove, softened by delicate florals that add depth without overpowering. The dry-down is where the magic happens, settling into warm, earthy notes of cedar, patchouli, and amber with a hint of musk that gives it a refined, slightly powdery finish. Enrico Coveri Pour Homme has moderate sillage and impressive longevity, making it a great choice for daytime and evening wear, especially in cooler weather. Overall, this fragrance is a well-balanced, versatile scent with a nostalgic vibe, ideal for anyone who appreciates classic, understated sophistication in their fragrance collection.

The very best of the 80's aromatics! The blend is just perfect here. I just gives you EXACTLY what you want from an aromatic, fougere, fresh spicy fragrance from the 80's. It tells a tale of better, classy times without being to harsh, stuffy or in your face. Perfectly balanced greens, woods & spices provide and utterly satisfying aroma which even manages to be unique, because every fragrance that this is being compared to, lacks its overall complexity maybe the only exception being Biagiotti Uomo. Truly Italian! This is for the current Evaflor version which has brilliantly kept the vintage alive. Bravo!

very nice blend of aromatic greens. very much in the mould of azzaro homme and tsar by VC & A. I was really put off by the opening but after 20 minutes or so it really settles down into what I expected this to be. It's a complete throwback and unlike anything being released today. Out of all the big fragrances of the era I can see younger people using this more than the others. its a bit sporty and bright and not musky at all. Although I sprayed this only 40 minutes ago and I expect it to turn less green and more leathery/ amber towards the end. Well worth the price 18 Euros!

I'm a new fan of Enrico Coveri Pour Homme! It has a unique note to it that creates a clean, masculine, Italian barbershop scent. My vintage mini-bottle has wowed me into ordering a full bottle! UPDATE: This Is one of my favorite barbershop scents. I have two full bottles: the current version made in France and the original Euroitalia made in Italy; both are super close in scent and performance.

This smells very similar (albeit toned down version) of Red for Men, Giorgio of Beverly Hills. Both have that spicy, slightly animalic, leather and oakmoss smell to it. They are not identical in scent but quite similar with Enrico being slightly toned down. Pure 80's at its best. I also paid under $20 ($16.20 to be exact). Definitely worth every penny in my opinion.

I found Enrico Coveri by coincidence and I bought it thanks to the good reviews! What a nice perfume!! Spicy, aromatic, classic, very masculine, almost identical to John Player Special 1984. It has also similarities to Drakkar Noir and to Lomani P.H. Performance is good! I love it!!!

Amazing fragrance. Classic, clean, refined, unique, safe to wear 24/7/365 Despite the cost, the quality is outstanding. What a gem ! I hope they never discontinue it or reformulate it.

Smells very good ! Old school and natural raw materials. Well made. I'm referring to the vintage stuff. I have never tried the new release.

On the same ballpark as Tsar by Van Cleef & Arpels👌 great green woody scent❤️ has been reformulated lately but I still love it❤️

Smells like Tom Ford's White Patchouli. Great but does not project or last as long as I was hoping for.

Dudes will smell this and say "hell yeah".

After three days on the repurchase of the new version of this masterpiece of contrasts and balances I must say I am very happy and satisfied with this relaunch. Perhaps I was too harsh in my previous post. The reconstruction of this scent has been well done and they have saved the key elements of the fragrance and beveled certain angles too dated. In 1997 I made sniff Enrico Coveri Pour Homme to my Japanese friend who said "it smells like a Shinto shrine". Well, I never had the occasion to breath into a Shinto shrine, but I can imagine and I guess what she means with that sentence. This perfume is sweet balmy and green and almost coniferous expecially when it opens. EC PH always maintaining a fresh-sweet fragrance. It opens with balsamic notes, I could swear to sense stretches of mint, pepper, cypress and jasmine, with pinches of sugar and incense but amazingly neither of these notes are present. Pure magic of a great creation. Holy deception. Leather, lavender, nutmeg, patchouly and amber are quite tangible after the first hour, but there are no notes that lead or dominate the others. A truly unique fragrance, Mediterranean without being rustic, but elegant, calm and soothing. For me it's like having found a lost friend. I know we will still have a lot of good time together.

Good News: Evaflor has bought the rights of Enrico Coveri pour homme, which was officially my second perfume (a "neverending" 100ml as Christmas gift), and brought it to a new deserved life. So finally now it is BACK! And I had for 15€ x 50ml. The bottle is well defined as well. I was happy when I saw it in a soap shop. I saw out of the corner and I thought it was Hommage a l'homme de Lalique, as they made an almost identical bottle, and I immediately took it as "MINE!" Bad News: As supposed. It is a pallid imitation of the original. But it still have "that thing" which make me smile and it is actually the one of the 80s (So maybe not so pallid just a bit different, bit not another one). Must be that airy suede note. The combo between high leather + santal, muscade, basil-like notes.. In some way this is a modern version of the original scent, less daddy, more neutral. A classic, sweet, green-ambery, nutmeg and country flowers, not impossible to wear for teenagers (maybe I say so cause I feel like a seventeen again now), smell just like a summer shower.

One word : dynamic! Reviewing the vintage version in a dark blue bottle. This perfume is more about "that what is not", all that is in between. The sum of it all is just much more than the notes in common. An 80's powerhouse with a mediterranean feel based on moss, amber and leather, but very clean. Opening with lavender and hints of aldehyde-y ozone, followed by sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and geranium and finally drying down on leather and amber with added moss and tonka. Above all these notes lays a subtle "smoky" feel, not like incense but still... Coveri pur Homme shares some similarities with Givenchy Xeryus but does not feel as dated as many perfumes from this era. Performance in terms of both sillage and longevity is excellent. BTW Fragrantica, is there any chance of updating the above picture in very poor resolution ?

Enrico coveri pour homme is like a wise old man among modern perfumes. Sparkling start with a pure lavender. So initially fresh but do not be fooled: The dry-down is something warm so I would recommend this scent for the cold seasons. Although in the 80s the production of perfumes was based on the fragrances of decades before, today we can say that many perfumes want to imitate Enrico Coveri Pour Homme. Highly recommended! P.s.Similar to Aramis Aramis in the dry-down
