Pour Homme
Ted Lapidus Pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1978.

Ted Lapidus's Pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
This one's a proper beast, a true 70s powerhouse that'll sort the men from the boys. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, unapologetically masculine and not for the faint-hearted. If you want to make an entrance, this is your weapon.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
This powerful, animalic leather scent is far too strong for office wear, but its bold character makes it an excellent choice for a date, especially in colder weather. It's a bit much for casual daytime, though it could work for an evening out, and its mature sophistication lends itself to formal events where you want to stand out.
