Rabanne Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1973, created by Jean Martel. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme opens with Rosewood, Rosemary, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Honey. Rabanne's Paco Rabanne Pour Homme carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive classic, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is either a clean, confident, masculine masterpiece or a dated, overly soapy mess. Its barbershop charm won't appeal to everyone, but if you appreciate a strong fougere, you're in for a treat.

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.

Best For:

Its moderate projection and clean, classic scent make it suitable for casual and office wear, though its strength in older formulations might be overpowering. It's less ideal for formal settings due to its barbershop vibe, and definitely not suited for sport.

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.

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Paco Rabanne Pour Homme opens with an invigorating burst of aromatic rosemary and clary sage, brightened by spicy rosewood. As it settles, a clean lavender and warm geranium heart emerges, cradled by a hint of sweet tonka. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy oakmoss, musky amber, and a subtle tobacco nuance, leaving a distinct, honeyed trail.
