Parfums MDCI L’Homme Aux Gants is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. L’Homme Aux Gants opens with Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Gurjun Balsam, Musk, Cedar, and Oud. Parfums MDCI's L’Homme Aux Gants carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously elegant vanilla-oud combo with a spicy kick, often compared to some big hitters. It's refined and lovely, though some folks find it a bit too subtle for the price. If you want sophisticated warmth, this is it.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

L'Homme Aux Gants opens with a comforting, warm embrace of nutmeg, quickly deepening into an intriguing heart of earthy cypriol and a bright touch of hedione. As it settles, a rich tapestry of gurjun balsam, creamy vanilla, and tonka bean emerges, beautifully interwoven with smoky guaiac wood, smooth cedar, and a refined oud. Hints of patchouli and benzoin add depth, creating a sophisticated, woody-oriental drydown that feels both luxurious and inviting.
