Homem Verum

I just got it and I'm already in love with this stuff. Most remarkable CH Men imitator that I've come accross. I recently tried Mercedes-Benz Momentum Intense, which is not horrible to me, but when I dove deeply the leather in there is too much like burnt plastic. Homem Verum is more pleasing even than CH Men to me, and that was formerly my favorite fragrance (trying to still reserve judgement). It is definitely more noticeably green to me, even very very slightly more noticeably sweet, and definitely has a subtle aromatic quality about it. The opening is where it is greenest and freshest, of course, but it retains some of those elements for a reasonable length of time, at least compared to CH Men. I am not the best judge of performance, maybe because of my burnt nose from years of smoking (I tend to get nose-deaf to certain things, CH Men-type things included), but it is probably a good sign that I can smell this stuff VERY strongly long after I am totally unable to detect CH Men sprayed at the same time. The only knock I have against its scent so far is probably that its sweetness is slightly more on the "bubble gummy" side than CH Men, but not everyone might feel that way or even agree. It's pretty minor. The subtleties in the differences between this and CH Men beyond what I've said are too difficult for me to exactly explain, save to say that it seems to be slightly greener, fresher, deeper, extremely well-blended, and (to me) even more pleasing overall. I will spend some more time with it in different conditions, but there is no doubt that this is an absolute 10/10 masterpiece (granted it's standing on the shoulders of CH), and for anyone just wishing that CH Men was never reformulated, this in my opinion is superior to any previous formulation of CH Men. I should mention that I own batches from 2010, 2012, and current, and this beats everything in both composition and performance. EDIT: After a little more experience, I still love it, but one knock against it is that the sweetness that you get in the dry down is a little more on the bubblegum side of things which I tend to dislike, and I get none of that with CH Men. It's not too bad, but definitely worth mentioning if that is something that bugs you.

This will forever be one of my favorite hidden gems. The original CH Men was my signature scent for a couple years and ultimately ignited my passion for collecting fragrances. One day I found out it had been repackaged and reformulated, so I purchased a sample of the modern formulation to see for myself and indeed it had lost a bit of its magic and performance. So I set out to find something with a similar scent DNA that performed better, and boy did I find it here. Homem Verum is spicy, fresh, green and woody, I pickup a nice dose of peppery cedar that makes this unmistakably masculine, and a perfectly balanced sweetness that makes this feel cozy and cuddly too.. Everything is balanced in a way that is super pleasing to smell in the air and it projects within an arms length for several hours and leaves a nice scent trail for at least a couple of hours. I’ve received several compliments while wearing this one. A female friend told me I smelled “so good” and a girl I took on a date later told me “I love your smell”... so trust me when I say this one is worth checking out if you like the idea of a fragrance that is slightly sweet and fresh, with added depth from spices and woods. Perfect for Fall Weather in my opinion.

#1133 in my "Tour de Fragrance" If you like CH Men as much as I do, this scent improves on that formula with iris, added musk and not so much of the sweetness of the entire CH line. This has everything I like about CH men and more, including copaiba, one of the unusual South American biodiversrity ingredients, like priprioca, whose use is unique to Natura. And this was only $42 at PureBrasil.com, as opposed to he $65 I paid for CH Men at Jomashop, and I got it FedEx in a week. Great vendor that packages correctly, ships immediately and communicates every step. I like that. I talso like that Natura uses environmentally friendly packaging, magnetic caps, and grown-up bottles shaped for easy shelving. Wish the Arab houses would follow suit. The scent is just warm, inviting, cuddly, and the girlfriend says "Hmmmmm. I like it!" Wear this to the office if you have a co-worker you're looking to hook up with, but don't overdo it in the car pool. Definitely a date night scent that I think is versatile and masculine without being pushy about it. A successful blind buy for me!

An inexpensive fragrance that smells very similar (95%) to vintage CH Men. Great scent with very good performance. Absolutely worth a blind buy. Love it.
