In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

51 Pour Homme opens brighter than its dense note list suggests, with lemon and lavender giving way to a dark rose, saffron, leather, and oud heart. On skin it usually settles into a smoky, woody amber with a dry, grown-up feel. This suits someone who likes polished but shadowy fragrances, especially in cooler weather.…
