Deauville pour Homme

Well color me SUPER-Impressed! Michel Germain's- Deauville Pour Homme smells fantastic! Its definately a more "Classic Gentleman's scent" although I wouldnt think twice if Id smelled this on a woman (My mom thinks this smells Fem). Deauville PH sorta smells as if Shalimar edt and Moschino's ? Uomo totally ignored "Social statuses" and had a torrid love affair which resulted in a love-child who they'd named Deauville PH! Lol! Theres something earthy and ever so sllllightly sweet and yummy/gourmand-ish in this reminding me of the same nuance found Moschino's ? Uomo that I haven't really found in anything else along with the way that the powdery-Iris/Orris is applied here along with the Amber note which are used in a way reminding me of Guerlain's Shalimar edt! Deauville is NOT screechy, it smells pretty refined and is quite long-lasting especially for an edt giving me a good 6 to 7 hours on skin with moderate to good projection becoming a nice, and still quite noticable skin-scent at around hour 3. Again, Deauville Pour Homme is most definately leaning into a more mature "Classic Gentleman's vibe" and can be worn anywhere youd use fragrances like Shalimar, Guerlain's- Habit Rouge or any other classy, gentlemanly fragrances and it DOES NOT smell Cheap or inexpensive. A TRUE Hidden Gem "Sleeper fragrance" for sure and Im giving this little GEM a solid 8.5 outta 10 minus half a point for the ATROCIOUSLY -Cheaply made bottle and Cap, although the atomizer aint half bad at all! For $9.99 at Burlington? A total STEAL & a half and a crazy-good value indeed! Thank you to whomever took the time for the read! CHEERS!! P.S. I layered Deauville over Moschino ? Uomo and it layers PERFECTLY adding a more Powdery nuance to Moschino ? Uomo!

A very nice powdery clean citrus opening , with a slightly sweet tobacco in the dry down. Has that high-end baby wipe vibe. I personally love it. It’s inoffensive and can be oversprayed. Always staying light and never really becomes overwhelming. The performance I don’t love. Hence the overspraying. If you can find this for $20 or less and you’re a fan of slightly old school(not out of date) scents like this then I would highly recommend it. However, both my bottles, that I got for about $10 each, leaked something fierce. So, that’s something to be aware of.

I've had a bottle of Deauville Pour Homme for almost two years, and I have never once regretted my purchase. Just four or five sprays create a warm and inviting scent that lasts longer than average and is suitable for any occasion or season, whether dressed up or casual. It has a slightly powdery quality, but it's more akin to a nice Sandalwood and Orris root (lipstick) powderiness rather than baby powder. My only complaint is the cheap plastic cap. However, at a price range of $10 to $15, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Blind bought this one from TJ Maxx. This is a good clean scent that smells like a light powder freshness with a sweet touch. Will not offend co workers they actually like this one. Update: Many compliments from women with this fragrance. This is smooth and refined and Niche for a great price. This is my new secret go to scent for work.

If youre expecting a tobacco amber scent you might be disappointed but that being said its still an awesome fragrance. Its one of those scents where you cant pick out any of the notes but blends nicely. You just get a sweet powdery scent somewhat reminiscent of burberry brit. The opening is citrus though

Powdery, not very sweet, not too dry (but on the dry side), fresh, soapy, and potent enough to get through the work day without needing to top it off, Deauville is the perfect complement to aftershaves like Wild Country or Clubman. It's a fougere with some orientalist touches, and the trio of lavender/iris/tobacco holds it all together. This carries a very traditional barbershop air to it, and if you're familiar with the two aforementioned scents and things like Rive Gauche PH and Caron's Third Man, Deauville will smell in line with those. I really like it, which surprises me, because frankly after seeing this fragrance on discount store shelves for years and never pulling the trigger, I expected it to smell hollow and cheap. It doesn't. This smells well made, with very good materials, and it's a smart composition. It's not very complex: expect to smell the lavender and mandarin in the top notes, with a touch of bitter bergamot to balance out the warm sweetness of the mandarin, followed by a powdery iris and tobacco accord that rests on a woodsy mossy base.

I have had this fragrance for about 6 months. I picked it up while on holiday in the US for about $10 (2.5 oz size). The bottle is weirdly shaped (I think maybe it is shaped like the bow of an ocean liner, or a very foreshortened ship, as Deauville is a seaside resort). Anyhow, the lid is pretty cheaply made and so tight on my bottle that it pulls off the plastic housing surrounding the sprayer. This gives the impression that this fragrance is cheap and nasty. Not true. This is as others have said, powdery, but also has citrus and a hint of pepper. The floral aspect is lavender and something else, which is quite indistinct to me, though I agree with Kmarich : it does resemble neroli. A spicy flanker to Lagerfeld original would smell not too dissimilar to Deauville. The projection and longevity are reasonable and it is certainly worth the small amount I paid for it.

Picked this up yesterday from Ross for $11.99 and let me say, I'm very content. I'm not usually a fan of powdery scents but this is done right. It's a good balance of a clean linen with a slight barbershop classic smell. In the dry down there's a touch of sweetness🥧 from the tobacco and orris. In the opening I don't get much Sage🪻(which we all know Sage can be overbearing) but I get a blast of freshness and the middle just blends perfectly into the base notes. I assume the perfumer didn't want this to project like a monster so Performance may not be to some of your likings. It's about 1-2 hours of projection and very light sillage Scent: 7/10 Performance: 3/10 Value:10/10 Overall: 20/30

I also snagged this frag at Ross for $12. Recognizing the house I figured it was worth a try. I actually really like the scent and find it sweet with a powdery dry down with hints of a darker caramel type of sweetness in the base. One bit I don't like is whatever smells, to me at least, like clean fresh diapers. An odd description I know and I am new to the frag game so I'm not sure what part of the scent gives me that impression. It's very slight and I only catch hints of it, but it's there. Overall a very pleasant scent. Recommended pick up. This frag grew on me immensely over the time I've worn it. An INCREDIBLE pick up for all of $12.

Shali-male light? I get a bit of a powdery Shalimar style open, but not fizzy or as complex as Amber Eternal. There's orange and lavender plus some difficult to discern greens in the background of the open. As it progresses I get more iris and clean lavender laundry, but not in an overpowering way; it's light and simple, staying airy. As the wafts of the clean laundry notes heart fade after a couple minutes nose to skin on the dry down I get a sweet tobacco. Pleasant afternoon refresher. I found a 75ml for $11 at Ross Dress for Less; it's hard to beat that considering this was an above average fragrance at giveaway pricing.

@mannyb....your review is by far the most agreeable to me on this fragrance.I have no clue where or how Dior Homme comes in here.it DOES NOT smell anything like DH.Absolutely nothing at all!! I am not too in love with this yet as I find the top notes a bit too much and unpleasant but ok when it dries down to be a bit tolerable. but as has been said for the price you really cant moan.I do like the bottle though.cant add more to what you did.Excellent review.i do have all the ones you compared this to and wholly agree with you wholeheartedly on this. Thanks for having a good nose

Saw this at the store for ten dollars and decided to look it up. Upon seeing it has iris which is one of my favorite notes i blind bought and am generally happy with the purchase. It’s definitely not a dark iris vibe like dhi or valentino uomo intense i actually would compare more to givenchy edt intense not because the actual smell but i see myself wearing both more in spring and fall and both pair iris with some spice and earthiness. I could see this leaning older probably 30+ but for the 10$ i paid I consider this a great steal.

It is a nice Woody fragrance, Based on Michel Germain Site is a Woody scent , In my opinion It is a bit classic and mature. It reminds me a bit of Shalimar EDT for Women ! If you like a barbershop and old school style perfume, you will like this one. It opens up with like slightly smoky, fresh spicy, herbal and tobacco notes in the background then dry down is mossy woody. This is perfect for the spring, fall and winter. I like Deauville Pour Homme EDT for Men. Rating : 7.5 / 10

Just picked this up as a blind buy for $14 at Marshalls and I'm glad I did. VERY FRESH AND CLEAN. It's definitly a MAJOR SLEEPER for the price. I enjoy it from fresh opening to smooth drydown. Very underrated! I've already received plenty of compliments. I will hold it down for my everyday-whatever spray during spring. I'd probably give it about a 7.5/10 at least.

Powdery, fresh oriental. Opens with lavender and juicy citrus. It’s not long before the iris and nutmeg take over. Amber and tobacco create a smooth base. It’s soft but hints of pepper and oakmoss remind of its masculinity. There is some class and maturity to it. Light sillage but good longevity. Deauville is a good option for the office.

Spotted a .50z at TJMaxx for $2.00 and jumped on it. When I 1st sprayed it Dior Homme immediately came to mind. This is a wonderful smell my only problem is the projection and longevity. The scent sticks so close to the skin and it seems to wear off very fast. It's good for close encounters with someone special but that's about it.

This is a VERY NICE scent with good performance, and it's inexpensive. I'm not a fan of powdery fragrances and that's how this one starts out, BUT the other notes quickly come in to nicely combine into a very pleasant experience. Bonus: My wife likes it and gave me a complement, which is rare.

This is actually a good quality fragrance. Has a pleasant smell that I would feel comfortable wearing in the office. If this was released by one of the big name houses, I think it would score much higher. It is made in Canada in case anyone is curious.

This reminds me of Boucheron ph. I bought this for shits and giggles for like 15 bucks for 2.5 oz and it was money well spent. This is a great underrated scent.

Absolutely love it!!! I love powdery scents. My nose is so new and untrained so I can't tell what's what yet but I really enjoy.
