VERSACE L'HOMME FRAGRANCE REVIEW! | CLASSIC & MASCULINE COLOGNE! (1986)

[@samskate360]

It's always nice to see a review about fragrances that are usually not talked about

[@jorgekane2842]

Pro tip: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@alivan7334]

@Jorge Kane yea, have been using flixzone} for years myself :D

[@theaterdreamer]

An ex-girlfriend that was a fashion model introduced me to this about 15 years ago, saying it was her favorite men’s scent. And it’s been my go to cologne ever since. It’s very strong, but not overpowering, with woodsy and citrus undertones. It lasts quite a long time after application. I have received many compliments on it.

[@noelcruz4793]

Outstanding review. I'm an older guy, and this fragrance fills me with so much nostalgia and memories. It might be considered dated by today's standard, but to me it's a classic scent.

[@ThereIsNoTomorrow1994]

You’re one of the only big fragrance channels that reviews fragrances like this and I appreciate it. I like input from a nose I can trust.

[@Redolessence]

I appreciate you saying that! Thank you

[@conradstephen7957]

I own Versace LHomme and it's very addictive. Tends to turn heads, Simply love it.

[@Alansubocz]

I’ve love the dry down and I get the basil, oak moss and carnation notes. 80’s ? Who cares. “Modern” does not always translate to “better”.

[@Tobertus]

Very true, it's just how you see and understand it, subjectively. In the end it's all about the scent ;)

[@snortchgortch4253]

Boom

[@FSVR54]

Well, 80s was objectively better than the trash landscape today

[@rjloveslaurent]

I recall when this was launched back in 86. I stepped into an elevator where a gentleman was wearing it and needed to know what it was. While it seems a touch smoother today, it hasn’t been totally butchered by reformulations. Regarding oakmoss - there are companies (Guerlain being one) that use a new fractionated version of it - it has the allergenic bits removed, and I wouldn’t be shocked it that’s what was used in the Versace scent. I still enjoy wearing it very much! An Italian classic!

[@HamStrokersEjacula69]

It's crazy it's almost 40 years old and yet it still one of my most complimented winter scents.

[@rayjdogsblue]

I just purchased this fragrance as well, and I must say, on first spray, it is a classic scent. It is very masculine for sure.

[@marshallross7928]

I saw this on sale and blind bought because $28 was a steal for it and I honestly did not like it at first, I thought it smelled beyond my age and maybe I couldn’t pull it off, too barbershop-y, but I work from home and I love using colognes and just being able to smell obnoxious while I work and it truthfully helps invigorate me, and if not the scent, the quality of this fragrance will win you over. I started using it as deodorant and spraying it on my underarms, for the most part it doesn’t irritate my skin and is actually very effective for me. It blends really well into the skin and my unique, natural odor is best suited for spicy fragrances like polo red or Eros flame but this fragrance fits me well. This is such a layered, textured scent that it is hard to get bored of, every day it smells different based on the temperature and what notes you seem to pick out more that day. Some days it smells very musky floral, some days it smells more spicy barbershop and I enjoy that range that this fragrance has. Some may not like this, it smells extremely in your face and has a swagger and aggressiveness to it that not everyone you encounter will like, but don’t wear it for them, wear it for you.

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

Exactly. The initial lemon blast is too much but the dry down is awesome and where this really shines.

[@keepitgangstabro32]

i never believed that somenone from the community would make a video about that fragrance!!!!I blind bought it back in May and it is a very good old school frag.Sharp citrusy opening with a sweet twist in the drydown.Definitely a hit back in the day,my father wears it all the time.In my opinion anyone can wear it nowadays as a casual-everyday choice .Good performance and good projection,a good all around the year perfume.

[@SarcoidosisWarrior]

Wore it in the 1980's and still wear it now. Love Versace fragrances. I have always loved the Oak Moss depth and combining with a tight lemon fragrance reminds me of old style Barber shop scents.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bluemajiic1979]

This was a blind buy at Burlington coat factory. It brought back memories of my late grand father, he smelled similar to this but it wasn't this exact fragrance. I won't wear it but I will keep for memories.

[@donaldgenenavarro]

there is really no reason to stop wearing fragrances from the past especially if they are bargains nowadays. this one has great performance. i don't care for the harsh opening but once it settles in the citrus and florals and leather really shine. very synthetic for sure.

Excellent review… perfectly describes the fragrance - it’s aura, it’s character, it’s vibe and it’s historical (and contemporary) resonance.

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

I don’t think the people who dismiss Versace L’Homme are giving it a proper go. The opening was overwhelming and made me regret buying a bottle, but once the dry down hit, this fragrance took a turn for the best. I mainly get a spicy, semisweet patchouli suede smell, and almost a waxy vibe. I prefer Guerlain Vetiver to L’Homme as classic scents go, but I’ll always have a bottle handy. Excellent performance, too. More classic fragrance reviews please, Steven, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on Guerlain Vetiver.

[@Stogie_Stonato]

This one is a banger with lasting power...bang for your buck...I think it stands out in the sea of aquatic fresh scents.

[@ChipzBlanco]

When you first put on its a clean crisp barbershop shop vibe! Like a after shave! Let me tell you just wait! Spray it on your skin n neck ! A couple hours later it settled and it smells nothing how it did when I first put it on! It's a spicey cinnamon, patchouli masculine Light rose smell! It suprised me that it smells really good after 4 hours on the smell is not faded n better smelling!

Bought this a year ago for my dad. Looked for reviews on it and never came across many. This was affordable as you mentioned and very fitting for someone like my dad (he's 65 but this is good for anyone over 50). The opening can be a bit harsh, definitely 80s vibes but the dry down is strangely enjoyable. Projects really well and has really good lasting power.

This is fantastic so nostalgic for me I will never be out of it so as long as they keep making it. Came out in 1986 I was a senior in HS and this scent i will just say I had a lot of fun and made great memories my senior year it was like bees to honey and til this day when I wear it I still get those looks and makes everyone around you just happy friendlier. Men woman young old don't matter there's just something about it to me idk about others experience. This scent may be more then 30 yrs old but it's just sex in a bottle. Try it frag heads. Blessings 🙏

[@rogerblakely7453]

I picked it up at a rack store. It took me a while to figure out the difference between Versace L'Homme and Versace Pour Homme. I will snatch up Versace Pour Homme in the rack store if I ever see it. Summer is over in Southern California, and it has finally cooled down enough to start thinking about fragrances other than high-heat fragrances. Versace L'Homme is perfect for post-summer weather.

[@davetip79]

Smells very much like Givenchy Gentleman EDT. Offensive to many if you wear it out but I love wearing on nights in getting out of a shower . Makes me feel like James Bond .. the Sean Connery version . It’s definitely a hairy chest frag.

[@lees_box]

This is the only one I have left out of my rotation I had in the 1980's and 1990's. I always went for the Chypre-types all year round, top notes all fresh and citrusey, middle notes warm or floral or woodsy or combos of, something sophisticated and complicated while the freshness stayed around on top keeping it all fresh and light, and base notes always woody/mossy/(vanilla maybe) and stayed lingering on my skin for hours and hours on their own after everything else had died away. I never cared what the weather was like back in those days, it could be as cold as all F and I would still be wearing this scent profile. But within that profile I did wear variations and this fragrance was the heaviest version in my rotation and was good for colder months, Chanel Pour Monsieur would be the one I brought out in the hot summer months, Armani or Givenchy would go somewhere in between. This is the only one from those days I still wear, I know they've reformulated virtually everything at some point (the industry started restricting oakmoss I believe due to irritation concerns and they can't use it now like they did then, and so the depth and longevity many fragrances used to have back then suffered) but this current version of L'Homme is still close to the OG as far as my memory can tell, it has the same personality and vibe, just it's lost some depth. Starts-off really strong and turns into this sumptuous complicated leathery peppery (for the want of a better word) floral citrus concoction which wears beautifully on my skin and smells adorable right to the end. Spray this on your chest and then 5 or 6 hours later pull out your shirt, bend ur head down and put ur nose right near the opening and take a deep whiff and it's effing yummy. It's just a beautiful fragrance and one of my alltime faves. It's a sophisticated masculine scent good for formal occasions and events, business wear, anytime you want to feel extra spesh and opulent, but really I love it so much I'll even wear it to the supermarket sometimes because why not.

[@km-yx8vl]

[@western-oud1898]

Great review of a classic..I love wearing this in the winter or colder weather after having a really hot shower at night..a couple of light sprays behind both ears and two small dabs on each wrist and with the heat of your body from the hot shower the dry downs beautiful..

I LOVE Aramis by Aramis. If you like classic masculine men’s fragrances like Aramis, chances are you would like Versace L’homme as well. Yesterday, I wore Roger & Gallet Open. Today, I wore Versace L’homme. Both have this very classic masculine composition, which smells very nice and sexy to my nose.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for sharing! I know exactly what you mean!

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

I bought it when I first got into fragrances by mistake. I was looking for Versace pour homme and got this one instead. I got it in, sprayed it and I was like oh no wth is this!? Put it back into the box. 4-5 days went by. And for some reason I continued to think about the fragrance and when that happens, I know I need to revisit it. Sprayed it again and was like here we go. Two on the wrists, two on the neck. Opening I do not like, the lemon is too much. But after that clears out, the dry down is really good to me. It has a dirty sexy vibe to it that makes the ladies call me daddy. Lol

So you did like it? I ordered it as a blind by. I started seeing that it was discontinued so I wasn't sure if it was a good purchase or not.

[@chameleonphoenix5956]

I've been wanting this one for a while, after owning what is now vintage The Dreamer and buying what's affordable for that I realized it like many others is ruined compared to the OG, so I bought the vintage Dreamer and wow what a difference, so I think if I get the Versace L'Homme I'll have to go for the vintage, I've been on a vintage fragrance purchasing frenzy and all I can say is they USED to do it right, now with all the reformulations it's sad when someone gets something and think it smells amazing and has no idea, another perfect example is all the reformulated replacement garbage for the OG Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme 1994 Italy version, and I can't for the life of me figure out why none of these Middle Eastern fragrance houses hasn't cloned it yet when they've already cloned D&G Intenso 🤷

It's horrific. I love the ingredients, yet what I smell is the worst scent on the market today. Did a swap at the weekend for my Phantom. Told my nephew to keep it and he's sold it to a friend and kept my Phantom 😂😂 I find it very hard to dislike perfumes but this was easy. Not even a 2 dollar barbershop would use this unless trying to kill any insects that have popped in for a trim. How you've managed to say anything pleasant about this is outstanding work by yourself Sir. I salute you..

[@pielucas439]

I got this in May. I was 11 when this came out & the smell reminds me of my grandfather. To me, it's what "men" are supposed to smell like. What I mean are those old school men from a bygone time that dressed up & wore suits everyday looking very dapper at all times. It's nowhere near modern but to me at least, it is timeless

Interesting review! I have a bottle (full presentation) of Versace L'Homme, and I get a BUTTLOAD of oakmoss from it. It actually does work well on my skin, and gets me compliments, but it's not really my favorite. I think my dislike comes from a teacher/coach I had in grade school. He'd spray on so much it smelled like it was oozing out of his pores (might have even sprayed some in his mouth) to cover the scent of booze and weed on him...he was a fairly abusive person. Anyway! Thanks for the review, and stay amazing, sir!

[@pauran58]

Very nice review. Thank you!

[@1UpBebop]

Was just unpacking some boxes from years ago and found this today so was curious what the internet thought about it. I remember I got it on clearance in 2010 for $10. I remember spraying this and being so taken aback by how powerful this thing was but by like 20 minutes in, it really turned into something special. This was the first cologne I ever wore that multiple times strangers at stores when I was out shopping actually came up and asked me what cologne it was. In the times since I've had Creed, D&B, Bvlgari, Lacoste, and others, never happened since. Though, maybe I have just gotten old and uglier since than! Haha. The thing was unique (in the beach town I was at) and could pull eyes in a room in 2010, and I'm sure in 2021 it's still strange, still unique, and still weird (compared to all the modern fragrances) and still going strong. Awesome to see a video on this!

Awesome review! I had this in 2015, I liked it, my wife thought it smelt like ginger! I found myself craving this scent again lately, so I came to check this review to refresh my nose's memory! I was born in 82 but the 90s fragrances and early 2000s have more impact on my nostalgia. Would you consider making a video about how perfumes go through changes for each decade, and how it's a bit of a mystery how we associate a scent from the 80s or some 90s ones to "old" and "out of time"? A question that doesn't make sense but does for this situation: What's the benchmark for taste? Will these contemporary and modern fragrances flooding the shelves now be considered old in 20 years from now? Anyways, Thanks for the review! 👍🏻😊

[@nickburak7518]

I'm a 54 yr old fragrance enthusiast, but only new to the field. I have this. It's not as appealing as I'd hoped-perhaps because of it's dated composition, but likely to the level of my maturity. Oak moss. Lemon. Civet. These stand out. Maybe the carnation as well (i think i cannot appreciate carnation). It's a very powerful scent too, no less than Eros. I'm interested to learn more about the chypre and fougere accords (Rogue Perfumery up next-i have the full sample pack) but can leave the animalistic notes for others. Anyone have any tips or frags in this vein they like?

[@markart157]

Very classy fragrance.

[@victorashul]

I tried it, but I don't feel the need to own it. Why? It is not "old school" enough. If I want something modern, I will wear a "blue fragrance", if I want something old-school, I'll go with the original Aramis - it's one that I wear despite some negative reactions from the ones around me.

Oakmoss isn't banned, houses just have to buy a more expensive rectified version with the toxins taken out. I have new fragrances which list evernia prunastri extract as an ingredient.

[@jadizm]

So essentially it isn't true Oakmoss then? Hence 100% pure Oakmoss IS in fact banned....

[@shpalman7]

Also, given that this fragrance can be bought new, it obviously doesn't contain any "banned" ingredients.

[@bradjohnson1578]

I've never tried this and I'm thinking about buying it that's why I looked at this review. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of colognes from this era. I was born in 1986 the same year this came out. So my understanding of colognes was in the 90s, so these kind of colognes are right up my alley. I'm sick of spraying on cologne and 2 hours later you can't smell it. I like to smell the cologne that I'm wearing. So I think this would be a good fit for me. I wish that these fragrance houses would just stop making edts and just make edp's, or higher. Or at the very least less Edt's . I understand there are good number of Etds that do project, But the vast majority do not. The last long with it way of saying what I'm trying to say is. Make a manly sent that last.

I just smelt it 3 times on random people and all the 3 times i turned my head and went to ask what they wearing. I am surprised why this classic beast is underrated.

It is a very old timey fragrance. It definitely has a "toilet cleaner" type smell to it but that is not a bad thing because toilet cleaner smells quite nice lol My advice would be not to blind buy this unless you have the money to spare. It is not that expensive but for anyone on a budget, there are safer blind buys out there.

It's actually from 84 according to fragrantica

[@randyallen4603]

The dry down is wear it shines almost like a herrmis vibe...grown

[@jadizm]

Nice review Steven. Love these old school masculine barbershop style scents. Kouros, Aramis, Polo Green etc. These were my goto aftershaves in my youth. Agree with you on Lapidus however. A step too far on the animalic side for me.

Thank you so much for sharing, Gary!
