Generic perfume competing in the supermarket aisle
Mauboussin pour Lui in Black is an OK perfume for the $26 I paid for 3.3 oz. But there are so many better options at this price point. You are likely to find a better comparable perfume from Faconnable, Lalique and most middle-eastern perfumers.
I tend to apply four sprays on my body after shower and one spray on my clothing. Please keep in mind this is the testing condition I am reporting on!
The initial burst of smell is pleasant, albeit a bit too generic. You can get the caramel notes if you search for it, but it is clearly overwhelmed by mint and citrus. The smell and notes stay the same over hours. In 5-6 hours, all that remains is a barely noticeable skin scent. It is too mild on my skin to pick up the notes. It is pleasant and may have cedar and other woody notes. But I picked these notes only because they are reported here and other websites.
In summary, it is an OK option if you get it cheap. Probably OK for a blind buy because it is cheap. Probable not OK for a blind buy because it is too generic.
Caveat: Don’t trust reviews too much. You have to test every perfume on your skin multiple times before you make up your mind. Smells and olfactory perception are very personal and individualistic, in addition to other factors that impact the performance of a perfume.
