Balenciaga Pour Homme opens with an assertive herbal thrust, dominated by sharp cardamom, coriander, and dry thyme. As it warms on the skin, a rich, dark patchouli emerges alongside cypress to steer the scent into deep, woody territory. What distinguishes this 1990 release from its powerhouse contemporaries is the unctuous honey note in the base, which wraps around mossy elements to create a sweet, slightly animalic contrast.

This is a complex scent that demands sampling before attempting to track down a full vintage bottle on the secondary market. Show less
