Like women’s fragrances, the men’s fragrances for the start of the 2019 fall are as splendid as they are definitely varied, each offering a different man’s face and scents that now dare to change habits. Because in men’s perfumery, let’s be frank, perfumers have always hesitated to innovate, so much does it seem that men are little inclined to olfactory changes. However, in recent years, men have changed and so have their perfumes, which allows them to offer them more unique and innovative scents like Mémoire d’une odeur by Gucci or Explorer by Montblanc.
1 – Le Beau by Jean-Paul Gaultier
Let’s go back to school 2019 among the paradisiacal woods with Le Beau
We already got acquainted with Le Mâle in 1995 when we discovered it in a very unique glass marinière between yesteryear scents of the barber of yesteryear and sensual agreements between spices and intense woody notes. Since then, Le Mâle has continued to follow its path to glory by constantly reinventing itself both in its contrasting chords and in its advertising campaigns. At the start of the 2019 school year, Le Mâle will therefore be reborn once again with Le Beau, but what will it have to offer us?
Clearly enough, to see his new image, Le Beau plays Jean Paul Gaultier with his sensuality in Adam’s outfit to seduce us. And indeed it may well be presented first in the Factory with the classic demoiselle and the sailor Le Mâle, Le Beau still astonishes us by playing the beautiful ephebes on a carpet of the most shimmering autumn leaves. Of course, this intense sensuality photographed like a masterpiece on a still life displays a very Jean-Paul Gaultier style between the elegance of the decor and derision, the insolence of the nude and a humorous nod to the famous myth of Adam and Eve.
Le Beau will therefore be the incarnation of this man Jean-Paul Gaultier who likes to please and seduce with his dream plastic or his perfume but who also likes to surprise with his originality.
Le Beau by Jean-Paul Gaultier and its intense sensuality
Quentin Bish and Sonia Constant sought to create Le Beau around the iconic signature of the Male which could be summed up in one word, contrasts! However, Le Beau no longer has much to do with Le Mâle except for its surprising hot and cold. Whatever, Le Beau is beautiful, and this is the essential …
“A fresh and powerful trail for a seductive and ultra-sexy man. »Jean-Paul Gaultier for Le Beau
The Beau will therefore open first with an icy breeze of citrus fruit, led by notes of bergamot. Then in the heart, no retro barber notes but rather a coconut wood scent that brings us both an exotic breeze of freshness while letting a burning woody heat diffuse. Finally, the two perfumers for Le Beau have abandoned the vanilla and the cedar and sandalwood of the Male to replace them with ingenuity by a note of tonka bean both powerful and virile, as greedy and irresistible.
2 – Sauvage Le Parfum de Dior
Journey into the nights of Sauvage with Sauvage Le Parfum
Who does not already know Eau Sauvage, this virile and fresh fragrance that rocked the 1960s with its racy elegance? Since then, the house of Dior has given birth to other masculine fragrances, but none had succeeded in matching this mythical Eau Sauvage which has been passed down from generation to generation and now the sublime Sauvage arrived in 2015 to dethrone this cult perfume and display a new masculinity more free and rebellious than ever, all the more embodied by the most famous pirate in the world, Johnny Depp.
From bottle to bottle, Sauvage has seduced us and it is a safe bet that this new product for the start of the 2019 school year, Sauvage Le Parfum , will do the same. Regarding its scented composition at least because its new advertisement, released at the same time as the perfume in September 2019, did not meet the expected success at all, quite the contrary: this “new savage” did cringe so much so that today this campaign for Sauvage Le Parfum has simply been withdrawn by the house of Dior.
However, this advertising seems to have failed in many ways for Sauvage Le Parfum should not make us forget the formidable work carried out by François Demachy around the scented composition!
Sauvage Le Perfume, an ode to the night and intense contrasts
“I kept the powerful soul of Sauvage intact by giving it nocturnal accents, animal attraction and rounder facets. says perfumer François Demachy, Dior’s official perfumer for Sauvage Le Parfum.
Thus, Sauvage Le Parfum makes the original contrasts of Sauvage Eau de Parfum exult. To do this, this interpretation of 2019 will forget in particular the ozonic lavender heart of Sauvage Eau de Parfum in order to offer it instead the strength of woody notes.
However, with Sauvage Le Perfume, the freshness remains at the rendezvous, starting with light and bursting notes of mandarin and bergamot. At the heart, we discover the famous new guest of Sauvage Le Perfume, sandalwood which immediately gives it a virile and exotic strength. Finally, the depths of Sauvage Le Parfum display a new overpowering sensuality between notes of tonka bean and olibanum coated in a creamy, gourmet and slightly leathery vanilla.
3 – L’Homme Idéal Cool de Guerlain
When vegetal freshness inhabits l’Homme idéal Cool
When the Guerlain house offers masculine perfumes, they always adorn themselves with this marriage between the traditional scents of the house such as vetiver and vanilla notes while constantly adding brilliant novelties such as the pretty and so gourmet amaretto accord that inhabits the heart of the Ideal Man in 2014. So L’Homme Idéal will come to blow us his greedy heart and his intense hot and cold, constantly and successfully by reinventing himself sometimes sporty as with L’Homme Idéal sport, sometimes classic with L’Homme Ideal Cologne or even ultra sensual as with L’Homme Idéal L’Intense or L’Homme Ideal Eau de Parfum.
In this fall of 2019, Guerlain’s official perfumer Thierry Wasser will have chosen with L’Homme ideal Cool to focus solely on the spontaneous freshness of aromatic notes by showing us with delight and a few gourmet flowers the face of masculine “coolness”, this elegance in short, the natural nature of Guerlain men.
Although singular, L’Homme Idéal Cool will always be represented in advertising by this funny and rebellious Ideal Man who has made us smile since its release in 2015.
L’Homme idéal Cool, almond combined with aquatic-aromatic accords
“Harmonious and daring alliances that showcase raw materials from Guerlain’s heritage in a resolutely fresh and cool creation. Guerlain on the Cool Ideal Man.
Thus, the ideal Man wants to be the perfect marriage of the notes that have become classics of its range, the famous amaretto accord, while offering us the hot-cold built on new opposites, opposites still unpublished in male perfumery.
L’Homme Idéal Cool will begin with an ultra-fresh and dynamic start of bergamot and orange married for the first time to a note of mint which gives a new tone to the whole. At the heart, the marine note plays surprise guests by offering its freshness as iodized as it is animal to an elegant neroli flower, without forgetting the famous amaretto accord which gives substance to this luminous and powerful warm and cold. Finally the nervous vetiver merges with the sensual and burning patchouli to spread its warmth in counter echo to the freshness of the top notes.
Both fresh but intense, L’Homme Idéal Cool will be the perfect ally for a 2019 return to school with punch and assertive masculinity.
4 – Explorer Eau de Parfum Montblanc
The modern-day adventurer drawn in Montblanc Explorer
From the lovers of the luxury pen brand Montblanc stands out an extraordinary personality, both elegant and racy but also seductive and rebellious. It is the range of its masculine character traits that the Montblanc house has tried to bring to life in its various perfumes such as Emblem or Legend for the most famous. It is also this surprising masculine face with a thousand and one facets that the handsome Explorer born in 2019 wishes to address.
And Explorer will not cut corners to seduce the male sex, both by its very unique olfactory composition and by its advertising campaign. Indeed with Explorer, we will go on an adventure with this Montblanc man who takes us into a desert and uninhabited landscape where only Nature seems to be at ease. However, the Explorer man of Montblanc seems very comfortable there, better still, he seems to flourish there fully!
Explorer is therefore the Montblanc perfume of adventure and of modern adventurers who do not hesitate to think outside the box to feel happy and free.
Explorer by Montblanc, the contrasting virility of this fall 2019
The three perfumers who composed Explorer, namely Jordi Fernandez, Antoine Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux, sought to make this new Montblanc fragrance a compendium of the most beautiful olfactory materials in the world by combining rare scents with unusual masculine accords between green notes. , ultra virile woody notes and fresh and aromatic accords.
“Climb peaks, defy convention or explore the limits of the four corners of the globe. (…) Montblanc EXPLORER invites explorers on a fantastic journey […]. » Montblanc for Explorer.
Explorer will begin this fabulous journey by taking us with its top notes to Italy with its bursting and dynamic bergamot tuned to pink peppercorns and clary sage. At the heart, organic and ethical Haitian vetiver takes over with its liveliness as green as it is woody, while the leathery note brings an animal and wild strength to the whole. Finally, cocoa becomes a delicacy while the depths of patchouli, ambroxan and Akigalawood® form an ultra-burning trail to this Explorer man who inevitably seduces us…
5 – Mémoire d’une odeur de Gucci
When back-to-school 2019 rhymes with originality, Gucci offers us Mémoire d’une odor
Since the arrival of designer Tom Ford in the mid-1990s, the Gucci house has never ceased to affirm its originality and its desire to break free from trends to create precisely its fragrenza, which will often become a new universal fragrenza. like the famous chic porn. In perfumery, it is exactly the same as Gucci does not seek to resemble perfumed standards but to follow the style of its collections in the image of this retro bohemian style which was embodied not long ago in Gucci Bloom, then now in Memory of an odor.
Memoir of a Smell released in 2019 therefore affirms its uniqueness both by being displayed with deliberately offbeat notes and with advertising in a very 70s style where men and women like to meet around campfires, to playing the guitar and having fun in the countryside.
What’s more, Mémoire d’une odor aims to be universal, therefore as much addressed to these gentlemen as to its ladies, but also as much addressed to lovers of retro scents as to lovers of modern perfumes.
Mémoire d’une odeur, the retro freshness of chamomile
“A perfume has this particularity that it can transport us to another time or another place without our even having to open our eyes” Alessandro Michele, director of the Gucci house about Memory of an odor.
The perfumer who created Mémoire d’une Odeur did not seek to make this perfume “fragrenza”, but to compose a perfume that would be as evocative as possible for everyone. And it is precisely for this reason that he chose to start Memory of an odor with a note of Roman chamomile that is very fresh, aromatic and green at the same time, but also very often linked to childhood memories. At the heart, on the other hand, we are captivated by nocturnal jasmine harvested only for Gucci in India, the house has also named this orange and honeyed note Indian Coral Jasmine Nature Print. This floral and intoxicating splendor will take us directly to depths where sensuality is queen thanks to an accord of vanilla, sandalwood and cedarwood.
Remember that the male perfume for the general public finally arrived very recently in relation to female perfumes. Indeed, it was particularly through Eau Sauvage in 1966 that men gave themselves up to the art of massive perfuming, finally abandoning colognes and fresh waters to finally display real masculine scents. However, this recent arrival still implies that these gentlemen seem very attached to their classic perfumes, often woody and very often also virile and masculine with exotic woods of sandalwood, vetiver...
It would therefore seem, at first glance at least, that men do not appreciate being pushed around in their perfume habits. And yet, some great successes of recent years clearly demonstrate the opposite, such as Le Male in the 90s or A*Men a little later… And it is perhaps through these perfumes that have become cults that perfumers will dare more than ever in 2019 propose novelty to these gentlemen. Such as with L’Homme ideal Cool which marvelously marries the gourmet amaretto accord with the intense freshness of mint and the iodized accord, or even with Explorer which plays with gourmet cocoa to be more intense and contrasting than never…
The year 2019 in men’s perfume seems to be filled with new scented promises, remains to be seen if these gentlemen will really want to taste it?
