Lalique Hommage à l'Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Christine Nagel and Mathilde Bijaoui. Hommage à l'Homme opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Saffron, and settles into a heart of Pimento Leaf, Violet, and Pepper. Lalique's Hommage à l'Homme carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This sadly discontinued gem from Lalique is a classy, mature violet-driven marvel. Wearable, unique, and often compared to Fahrenheit but in a far more refined and less aggressive way. If you can find it, snap it up.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Hommage à l'Homme opens with an airy freshness from bergamot and violet leaf, quickly joined by the leathery, slightly sweet spice of saffron. The heart unfolds with a prominent violet floral, underscored by a subtle pepperiness. As it dries down, the composition settles into a warm, powdery blend of violet, musk, and a non-animalic oud, creating a sophisticated and mellow finish that some perceive as a tea-like accord.
