One of the best fougères of all time

It is the first men’s fragrance launched by PACO RABANNE PARFUMS S. A. PARIS

1.AWARD: Fragrance of the Year (1975) – PACO RABANNE – POUR HOMME, Men’s Luxury, by the Fragrance Foundation.

2.AWARD: Best Packaging of the Year (1975), PACO RABANNE – POUR HOMME, by the Fragrance Foundation.

A masculine, sophisticated fragrance with the scent of Provence herbs, enriched by an abundance of exotic essential oils and a lingering note reminiscent of smoke and musk, which give it its strength and staying power, writes PACO RABANNE in the fragrance leaflet.

The note reminiscent of smoke is the (Greek treasure of the island of Chios) known as MASTIC.

The box is apple green, with the (r) at the top in two tones, apple green/black; Paco rabanne pour homme is centered in black, and après rasage/after shave appears below in white. These are the boxes used for production from 1982 to 1988; they changed afterward.

The exquisite, weighty, transparent glass bottle has a raised metal label at the top as its backdrop (the metal r). At the bottom, AFTER SHAVE and Paco rabanne pour homme are embossed on the bottle in a curved form, in two lines, along with 75 ml 2.5 FL.OZ 58% VOL. PARIS. The base reads PACO RABANNE PARFUMS S.A. This applies to bottles made up to 1988.

The bottle’s shape is a blend of balance and strength.

Rectangular fastening, made of plastic/metal and in two tones, black/metal.

The heavy, transparent bottle was made by French craftsmen at Pochet du Courval, bearing the HP trademark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury fragrances.

The beautiful packaging and understated bottle were designed by the famous designer Pierre Dinand.

ÁÁÁ EDITION

This product has absolutely nothing to do with products in similar or nearly identical boxes, appearances, or names—we’re talking about entirely different products. There is a saying among our people about comparing apples and oranges.

As you’ll see in the photos, the contents have darkened somewhat at the bottom of the bottle. This proves that the product is vintage and that its contents are mostly natural/botanical, unlike modern products.

Some natural/botanical ingredients do not dissolve completely in alcohol, such as genuine bergamot, which forms sediment over the decades and swirls into flakes. The same happens with patchouli and vetiver—all botanical ingredients with high viscosity.

Because the product contains a large number of botanical ingredients, clumping (grains) may occur. If this happens, shake the product for 3–4 minutes. Possible color variations or microscopic particles in suspension do not affect the quality of this fragrance.
