By the editors · 2 min readPour Lui opens with the assertive green-herbal swagger of 1980 masculinity — sage, basil, galbanum, and lavender in a cool aromatic rush cut by anise and bergamot. Cinnamon warms the heart, joined by vetiver and patchouli, building into a dry, slightly smoky woody accord. Oakmoss, leather, and labdanum in the base complete the chypre structure with conviction. The general list extends further into rosemary, thyme, and clary sage — this is a fragrance with a kitchen-garden opening and a forest floor finish. Constructed for a time when masculine fragrance had both ambition and volume. It projects without apology and lingers long after.
