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, the height of 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 and refined fragrance, with the scent of herbs from Provence and a wealth of exotic essential oils, to which a persistent note reminiscent of smoke and musk is added, giving 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.

Apple-green box, with the (r) at the top in two-tone apple green/black; Paco rabanne pour homme in black in the center; après rasage/after shave in white at the bottom. These were the production boxes from 1982 through 1988; after that, they changed.

The exquisite, heavy, clear glass bottle features a raised metal label at the top as a backdrop, with the (metal r). At the bottom, embossed into the bottle in a convex style, are AFTER SHAVE and Paco rabanne pour homme on two lines, along with 75 ml 2.5 FL.OZ 58% VOL. PARIS. The base reads PACO RABANNE PARFUMS S.A. These details apply to bottles made through 1988.

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

Rectangular cap made of plastic/metal, in a two-tone black/metal finish.

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

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

This product has absolutely nothing to do with products in similar or nearly identical boxes, appearances, or names; we are talking about completely different products. As the saying goes, you can’t compare apples and oranges.

As you can see in the photos, something has darkened at the bottom of the bottle. This is proof that the product is vintage and that its contents are mostly natural/plant-based, unlike modern products.

Some natural/plant-based ingredients are not fully soluble in alcohol, such as genuine bergamot, which forms sediment over the decades and can be shaken into flakes. The same occurs with patchouli and vetiver—all plant-based ingredients with high viscosity.

Due to the abundance of plant-based ingredients in the product, clumping (grains) may occur. If this happens, shake the product for 3–4 minutes. Possible variations in color or microscopic particles suspended in the liquid do not affect the quality of this fragrance.
