Pour un Homme Barrique
Lavender lovers take note, today we are talking about "Le Soir", the modern evening version of the great classic Pour Un Homme de Caron (1934) Eau de Toilette. And indeed, in contrast to Pour Un Homme de Caron Le Matin, the DNA of the original version can still be sensed here - which is not to say that the two fragrances are interchangeable. No, "Le Soir" has undergone a thorough modernization and is a kind of groovy electroswing remix of the 1930s classic.
The lavender has been heavily powdered (iris!) and darkened somewhat compared to the original. According to the manufacturer, they have turned their back on local lavender farmers and imported crested lavender from Bulgaria. If that didn't cause trouble! The Bulgarian herb certainly doesn't smell bad.
As in the original, vanilla then adds a little sweetness, complemented by tonka/coumarin. The shy incense amber of the original version has been developed into a full-blown wood + ambroxan combination, which now comes across much more pleasantly than it might sound.
The wood is declared as oak wood in the fragrance pyramid, a rather rare note! And I do indeed perceive a nunace that, with a little imagination, is reminiscent of barrique wines from the south of France.
Overall, it can be said that "pour un homme" in the Le Soir version is somewhat more reminiscent of modern nightlife fragrances such as Dior Homme Intense (2011) or Gentleman Givenchy Eau de Parfum. However, it retains a certain independence with its prominent lavender and special barrique note. In terms of performance, the fragrance also fulfills the expectations one has of a modern EdP, so good news for all those for whom the original version was a little too weak on the chest. Recommended for all lavender lovers who like this fragrance.
