The Story
Patou pour Homme is a classic aromatic fougère that was originally launched in 1980 and reformulated in 2022. This version stays true to the original with a crisp lavender and bergamot opening, a floral-herbal heart of clary sage and geranium, and a warm, woody base of oakmoss and leather. It's a refined, gentlemanly scent that feels both timeless and modern.
