Only halflings left in the Shire.
OG, or "original gangster" is called in the language of the generation TikTok the original version of something that was once (good), and in its current version - at least - is different.
Homme is Lolita Lempicka's 2018 reissue of the popular Au Masculin, the OG, which is, after all, no longer available.
As with the Au, a sweet licorice accord is the focus of Homme. Immediately when spraying on, this warm, uncomplicated but unusual note plays the main role. In addition, comes, due to the absinthe, something alcoholic, which evaporates, however, after not even five minutes, until the fragrance already after 30 minutes in a skin-tight vanilla-musk combination, the licorice note thereby but always beibehaltend.
In the Au Masculin is all more defined, especially the boozy top note comes across clearer, thereby also felt spicier, and lasts longer. The fragrance simply seems higher resolved and more valuable than Homme. By the way, this also applies to durability and sillage: Where the Au has quite a decent performance, Homme makes rather half-long. After 4 hours, he is close to the skin, he can not really radiate even with generous dosage.
What I particularly like about both is the atmosphere they conjure. Homme seems, like Au Masculin, fabulous, spherical, playful and cozy, and thus remains true to the theme of many Lempicka fragrances. You can really let yourself fall into a fairy forest here, gingerbread house and all. This gives this pair of fragrances a high recognition value with high wearability at the same time, although not to formal affairs. Anise, or licorice freshen up the inherently sweet scent, which I would otherwise rather assign to the cold season, to the extent that it also fits in spring and cooler summer days, not least because of its lightness. But: Homme, even more than the Au Masculin is rather a for-you-alone fragrance, so a kind of mood background, in contrast to statement fragrances such as Aventus and Sauvage or clean men like Prada.
Au Masculin is no longer around, so Lempicka Homme stands without competition for me. Too bad, because I would have liked the OG as it was, or a lighter cologne that picks up the sweet licorice and continues to think summer-ready. Lempicka Homme is neither.
