Roger & Gallet L'Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1979. L'Homme opens with Lemon, Nutmeg, and Mint, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Spicy Notes, and Amber. Roger & Gallet's L'Homme carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is the true gentleman's scent, a powerful blast from the past that’s utterly timeless. Ignore the modern 'bubblegum' brigade - this is pure, unadulterated masculinity for those who appreciate proper classic perfumery.

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.

About

L'Homme opens with a bracing, fresh punch of lemon and cool mint, immediately invigorated by a spicy hit of nutmeg. The heart introduces a surprising, lush ylang-ylang, adding a touch of floral sophistication that mellows the initial zest. It settles into a deep, resonant base of woody and spicy notes, underpinned by a rich amber, culminating in a refined yet undeniably powerful dry-down.
