Sung Homme

Alfred Sung Sung Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1989. The fragrance opens with Basil, Caraway, Bay Leaf, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Aldehydes, and Pine, and dries down to a base of Leather, Musk, Vetiver, and Fir Resin.

Our verdict on Sung Homme: Acquired

This one is a divisive gem. Sung Homme is a beast of an old-school clean fragrance; a blast of hyper-masculine, soapy nostalgia that you'll either adore for its undeniable character or recoil from as dated. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a steal.

Its potent projection and intense, soapy character make it a bit much for intimate office or formal settings without very careful application. However, its clean, fresh profile makes it ideal for casual wear or after a workout, projecting a 'just showered' vibe for hours.

About

Sung Homme opens with an invigorating, sharp green explosion of basil, juniper, and peppery spice, immediately setting a powerhouse, aromatic tone. Aldehydes push through, amplifying a rich, old-school soapiness, softened by a touch of rose and geranium. The dry down is a deeply woody, mossy affair, with leather, fir resin, and cedar providing a rugged, masculine depth that lingers for ages.
