EDTMen
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.

Is this suitable for everyday wear?+
Yes, it works well for office and formal settings. It's not too loud but has good presence. Best in spring and fall.
