Mauboussin Mauboussin Pour Lui is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Violaine Collas. Mauboussin Pour Lui opens with Cedar and Lavender, settles into a heart of Caraway, Star Anise, and Wormwood, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Amber, and Oakmoss. Mauboussin's Mauboussin Pour Lui carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Mauboussin Pour Lui pulls off a modern classic vibe, but don't expect a power-house. It's a subtle aromatic woody scent that's all about close-quarters charm, not filling a room. Great if you value intimacy over ambition.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its poor projection and silage mean it's ideal for office wear, as it won't offend. The subtle, elegant profile makes it suitable for intimate dates or casual outings where you want to smell good without being loud. It's too muted for formal events or sports.

About

Opens with a fresh, clean burst of lavender layered over dry, earthy cedar. It quickly deepens into a warm, gently spiced heart with star anise and caraway, hinting at something exotic without being overt. The base is an understated woody blend of ebony and oakmoss, softened by amber, giving it a smooth, refined finish that sits close to the skin.
