While men don't always identify floral scents as manly, some floral scents like rose, lavender, jasmine, iris, violet, lilac, lily of the valley, geranium and a few others have been used in masculine scents for centuries.
Some say that Pinaud Lillac Vegetal smells like an old woman's purse, yet this floral scent was developed by Pinaud for the Hussars, light cavalry group originating in Hungary. The Hussars were mercenaries hired by several countries. They were known for their fierceness in battle. After long days of travel by horse, they bathed themselves in Lillac Vegetal to cover up unpleasant odors. There are still regiments of Hussars that serve today in the armies of Europe, but I do not know if Lillac Vegetal is still their fragrance of choice.
Well said! Florals and fruity notes are the cornerstone of perfumery!
I could be mistaken, but I think I've released more rose and oud scents in the wet-shaving world than anyone else
I definitely can understand why. Your rose scent is fantastic! I tried a couple of other well renowned brands but they were quite right. I moved on to other frangrances after my initial disappointment, but Tresor definitely has me reconsidering rose scents. The Mallard Rose Chai is especially tempting and sounds like something I would enjoy and need to order next along with the new Tonka.
