By the editors · 2 min read2022 Generation Homme was released in 2013 as a proposition about what men would smell like nine years hence — and the compositional answer is: oud, with fruit. Mint, yuzu, and black currant open in a cluster of fresh-tart brightness: yuzu lemony and clean, black currant adding berry-dark depth, mint cooling the whole. The transition to oud is abrupt and deliberate — agarwood takes hold in the heart without the gradual woody staging most compositions use.
Peru balsam in the base extends oud's resinous warmth with a sweetly aromatic, vanilla-adjacent quality. The composition is intentionally minimalist — five notes, dominated by one. Stéphane Humbert Lucas treated oud as protagonist rather than ingredient, and 2022 Generation Homme remains one of the clearer expressions of that approach.
