Performance Metrics
616 VOTESOpen Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE
Performance feedback points to a noticeable fragrance rather than a skin scent. Longevity is most often moderate to long lasting, and sillage frequently reads moderate to strong. Because the leather, labdanum, tobacco and styrax can project with weight, conservative spraying is the safer approach, especially indoors or in mild weather.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Par Amour Pour Lui opens aromatic and herbal, with lavender, tarragon, coriander and bergamot cutting through warm labdanum. The heart turns drier and more tactile, built around hay, leather, styrax and tobacco. The dry-down is sweet, woody and balsamic, with tonka, sandalwood, vetiver, musk and a persistent amber glow.
Main Accords
14 MAPPEDThe amber accord feels warm, resinous and sweet from labdanum and tonka, while the aromatic side brings lavender, tarragon and coriander brightness. Woody and leather facets add dryness through sandalwood, vetiver, styrax and patchouli. The tobacco accord is present but blended into hay and balsamic warmth, so the overall effect is textured, herbal, leathery and sweet rather than pipe-tobacco heavy.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Par Amour Pour Lui Review”
Par Amour Pour Lui by Anthologie is a masculine amber aromatic leather from 2019, composed by Lucien Ferrero. On paper the note list looks dense, with labdanum, coriander, lavender, tarragon, bergamot, leather, tobacco, hay, styrax, patchouli, carnation leaves, tonka, sandalwood, Haitian vetiver and white musk. In wear, the story is clearer: warm amber, dry hay, lavender, leather and a sweet balsamic base.
The opening has a rough, lively snap. Reviewers pick up coriander, tarragon, lavender and an almost fizzy herbal sweetness before the hay comes forward. It can feel rustic, dry and slightly coumarinic, with a countryside texture rather than a polished barbershop freshness. This is where Par Amour Pour Lui starts to show its personality. It is classic, but not flat.
As it settles, leather and styrax add a darker resinous side. The tobacco is present, yet it does not dominate the composition in the way a tobacco fragrance usually would. Several wearers describe the main impression as lavender, hay, dusty sandalwood and leather, with tobacco acting more as a warm supporting note. Patchouli, vetiver and carnation leaves bring dryness and structure, while tonka and labdanum round the edges.
The result feels mature and dressed, but not cold. Some reviewers call it aristocratic, old fashioned, refined and welcoming. Others find the leather very dry, even close to shoes, wax or racks, which tells you a lot about the risk. If you enjoy weathered leather, hay, aromatic herbs and amber sweetness, that dryness may feel characterful. If you want clean softness or modern freshness, it may feel too stern.
Performance looks above average from the community data. Longevity sits mainly in the moderate to long lasting range, while sillage leans moderate to strong, with some reports of a larger scent trail. A light hand makes sense, especially because the smoky, leathery and balsamic parts can build quickly.
Par Amour Pour Lui is easiest to imagine in autumn and winter, with knitwear, coats, leather shoes, evening meals or relaxed formal settings. It can work for confident daily wear, but it does not behave like a neutral office scent. This is for someone who wants a fragrance with age, texture and a clear point of view.
FAQs
What does Par Amour Pour Lui smell like?+
Par Amour Pour Lui smells like amber, lavender, hay, leather and tobacco wrapped in sweet labdanum, sandalwood and musk. Reviewers often describe it as dry, warm, mature, aromatic and slightly old fashioned, with a confident masculine character.
Is Par Amour Pour Lui more leather or tobacco?+
It is closer to a leather, hay and aromatic amber fragrance than a tobacco-heavy scent. Tobacco is noticeable, but several reviewers point out that lavender, dry hay, styrax leather and dusty sandalwood shape the fragrance more strongly.
Is Par Amour Pour Lui sweet?+
Yes, but its sweetness is warm and balsamic rather than candy-like. Tonka bean, labdanum and hay give it a sweet coumarinic feel, while leather, herbs, vetiver and patchouli keep it dry and textured.
Is Par Amour Pour Lui masculine?+
Yes. The official positioning and most gender feedback place it in masculine territory. That said, some wearers outside the target audience still enjoy it because the tonka, sandalwood and musk soften the leather, tobacco and hay.
When is the best season to wear Par Amour Pour Lui?+
It appears best suited to autumn and winter, with some room for cool spring days. The amber, leather, tobacco, hay and tonka facets can feel heavy for hot summer weather.
How strong is Par Amour Pour Lui?+
Community performance feedback points to moderate to strong presence. Longevity is often described around moderate to long lasting, while sillage can become quite strong, so lighter spraying is sensible.
Is Par Amour Pour Lui a safe blind buy?+
It is not the safest blind buy unless you already enjoy mature aromatic leather fragrances with hay, lavender, labdanum and tobacco. Its classic style, dry leather and strong projection make sampling the better choice for most buyers.
Does Par Amour Pour Lui smell modern or old fashioned?+
It leans classic and mature rather than trendy. Reviewers use words such as aristocratic, refined, old fashioned and gentlemanly, but many still find it smooth, welcoming and distinctive.
Who should try Par Amour Pour Lui?+
Try it if you like confident masculine fragrances with amber warmth, herbal lavender, dry hay, leather, tobacco nuances and a woody balsamic base. It fits someone who wants character and polish more than a clean everyday office scent.
Who might dislike Par Amour Pour Lui?+
You may dislike it if you prefer fresh blue fragrances, soft gourmands, airy musks or very modern designer styles. The dry leather, hay, styrax, patchouli and vintage fougere mood can feel too mature or rough for some tastes.
