Korloff Paris No Ordinary Man is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. No Ordinary Man opens with Bergamot, Yuzu, Pink Pepper, and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Violet, Hazelnut, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Korloff Paris's No Ordinary Man carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a serious, grown-up fragrance that swings between a vetiver bomb and a complex, leathery violet. It's divisive, with some finding it a monster, others a hidden gem. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or a blind buy.

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 long-lasting and moderate sillage, combined with a strong, mature character, makes it less suitable for casual or sport settings. However, its sophisticated and rich notes make it excellent for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too strong for the office.

About

Opens with a lively spark of yuzu and bergamot, quickly joined by the unique spice of star anise and a kick of pink pepper. The heart develops into a sophisticated blend of powdery violet and a subtle nutty warmth from hazelnut, underpinned by the mystical depth of myrrh. The drydown settles into a robust base of vetiver and leather, softened by a clean musk and a touch of earthy patchouli.
