Parfums Caron Pour Un Homme de Caron is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1934, created by Ernest Daltroff. Pour Un Homme de Caron opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rosewood, Rose, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Parfums Caron's Pour Un Homme de Caron carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just a classic, it's a piece of perfumery history. While some find its subtle, powdery lavender comforting and timeless, others declare it an overly simple, dated relic with abysmal performance. You'll either get it, or you won't. And if you do, you'll love it.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine inhaling a cloud of serene, herbal lavender, softened by a warm, creamy vanilla. Pour Un Homme de Caron opens with a fresh, slightly green burst of lavender and rosemary, hinting at traditional barbershop fougeres. As it settles, a sweet vanilla emerges, seamlessly melding with a clean, powdery musk and subtle amber. Hints of rosewood and cedar add a delicate woody depth, creating a sophisticated yet approachable aroma that defies its age.
