Men's Legesi Pour Homme

Notes & Nuances

Men's Legesi Pour Homme opens with a crisp, almost aggressively clean blast of lavender and neroli. It's like stepping into a freshly mopped barbershop floor. The rosemary lends a slightly medicinal, almost mentholated coolness, diverging quickly from the airy brightness of its muse. The heart brings a sharper, greener edge; the clary sage and galbanum amplify the herbaceous quality, but the geranium struggles to cut through the herbaceous dominance. The oakmoss in the base presents a musty, somewhat dank earthiness, similar to opening an old book left in a basement. The cedar is present, but unfortunately possesses a noticeable synthetic acetone edge. This causes a dry, slightly grating experience unlike the smooth, creamy wood. It’s a reasonable approximation, but lacks the effortless sophistication and replaces it with a slightly dissonant composition.

The Verdict

This is for the guy who appreciates a clean, classically masculine fragrance but isn't aiming to make a statement. He's practical, organized, and favors function over flamboyance. He’s the dependable colleague who always has a spare pen and is never late for a meeting. He enjoys a Sunday morning spent tinkering in the garage and appreciates a well-manicured lawn, even if he doesn’t necessarily want anyone to notice. This scent serves as a reliable, if uninspired, accompaniment to his quietly competent lifestyle.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is a moderate 5-6 hours, projecting strongly for the first hour, filling about an arm's length of space. After that, it settles into a skin scent. I tested this at the office and during a casual evening out. It held up adequately in both scenarios but didn’t particularly impress.
