Mauboussin Mauboussin Pour Lui in Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Mauboussin Pour Lui in Black opens with Mandarin, Mint, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Cedar, Violet, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Benzoin. Mauboussin's Mauboussin Pour Lui in Black carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag. Some call it an accessible, comforting caramel dream, others find it cheap, synthetic, or a bit of a dated let-down. If you're after a sweet, warm scent with woody touches for cooler days and don't mind a subtle performance, it's worth a sniff, but don't blind buy expecting a masterpiece.

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.

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

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Opens with a sweet-tart burst of mandarin and cool mint, quickly giving way to a smooth, dry caramel. Aromatic sage and a hint of violet interweave, adding a clean, almost powdery quality before settling into a warm, woody base of guaiac wood, earthy patchouli, and a soft, balsamic benzoin. It's a comforting blend, leaning towards a woody gourmand.
