Mauboussin Mauboussin Pour Lui in Red is a fragrance launched in 2022. Mauboussin Pour Lui in Red opens with Bergamot, Ginger, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Mauboussin's Mauboussin Pour Lui in Red carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a wild card. Some love its sophisticated spice and warm comfort, others find it a synthetic headache. If you're a fan of a bold, spicy, and slightly sweet scent, this could be your affordable gem, but definitely skip the blind buy.

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 Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its warm, spicy profile with a leaning towards an EDP concentration makes it quite potent, suiting colder weather and evenings more than casual sport or high-heat office wear. Reviewers noted its good performance for date nights and colder office environments, suggesting a versatile but not entirely all-season wearability due to its strength.

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

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

An intriguing opening of fresh juniper, sharp ginger, and bright bergamot gives way to an aromatic heart of calming lavender and earthy vetiver, balanced by a hint of floral geranium. The base settles into a rich blend of smooth leather, creamy sandalwood, and dry cedar, with some detecting a surprising cherry or coffee nuance. It's warm, spicy, and woody, with an unexpected sweetness.
