Alfred Sung Sung Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1989. Sung Homme opens with Caraway, Bergamot, Lemon, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Pine, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Alfred Sung's Sung Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
