Pack Rananne Pour Homme

Ok so this is a re-review (previous one was getting too long). This has got to be one of the most interesting fragrances I own. I have gotten so many different experiences with it in just a few weeks. From creamy and sweet, to soapy, to aromatic, to animalic. The most current way I would describe this is musky, some herbs/green, a little sweet, with a touch of tobacco. I'm no expert when it comes to musk, but I would describe this as very musky on my skin now, and it seems like an animalic musk to my nose. It's a little bit green and soapy. The tobacco is subtle yet noticeable, and lasts almost the whole wearing. This isn't as fresh and clean as I expected it to be. It seems like this was pretty polite/tame back in the day, but for today it feels a little bit daring, especially for work. I wonder if others have this experience. I can actually understand some of the comparisons to Kouros now, but I like this way more than Kouros. So far I have received one compliment. Overall I would definitely recommend anyone to try it out. I think skin chemistry might be a big factor in which notes are more pronounced though.

Blind bought this and OMG it is fantastic! It reminds me of riding my motorcycle through the pine forest on a crisp morning with the scent of my leather gloves thrown in. It’s amazing! It is definitely a different scent from more modern colognes, but it is very manly, sharp, and clean smelling. If you like fougères, I think you will like this. I wore it to work this week and I could still smell it at the end of my 8 hour workday. It has a scent faintly similar to Irish Spring but it’s definitely different and its own thing. I wouldn’t call it a beast for the club, but you can definitely wear this scent there and anywhere else you’d like. It is already in my top 5 fragrances and I cannot imagine not keeping a bottle on hand at all times going forward. Highly recommended if you want something masculine, affordable, and different.

I knew what to expect from an overnight skin test, so this one called for a mid-day shower and shave; the fragrance demands it. It's starts off with sage, rosemary and oh wait, nope, it's soap time. The oakmoss and musk combo is what I think does it for me, but it combines with the rosemary and lavender into the heart to to drift into an herbal softly floral sweet soap. It's honestly amazing how quickly this one flips from spicy to Ivory soap. The dry down is rather prolonged as well, with early dry down getting a little honey sweet with whiffs of musk, but where it shines is the late dry down; in a previous overnight test I awoke with an almost tonka sweet, still lightly soapy oakmoss skin scent and am strategically applying knowing that's likely to be the case again.

One of the best fougere fragrances of all time, it’s like the clean part of kouros but greener. It starts with this kind of citrus opening (despite not having any citrus note) and very aromatic with the lavender. Then it dries down very mossy but without losing that lavender that gives this clean feel to it, and there’s a little hint of sweetness because of the honey note. I think this is one of the most easiest classic fougeres to wear along with drakkar noir, I’m 23 and I have 2 years using both and surprisingly gotten me few compliments (definitely not as much as modern scents) but this is not for looking that nowadays, it only matters wearing this for yourself and enjoying it as the timeless masterpiece that is.

I hadn't smelled this one in over ten years. I had my first 50 ml bottle about 16 years ago and it was incredibly pert and green on top, with a musky-animalic drydown that was laced with sweet honey. Truly a fantastic perfume. Think I went through it in less than a year. Fast forward to my new 100 ml bottle (which lists treemoss and oakmoss on the box) and I'm reliving my "youth" with Paco Rabanne PH. It's bringing back all the great memories of my first bottle. It smells almost exactly like the other one, except maybe—and this is a BIG maybe, because time and memory don't get along—maybe that 50 ml bottle was a bit more animalic in the musks, and a touch sweeter in the honey note. Hard for me to say for certain.
