Brit Homme was released in 2004, a year after the feminine of the line. Antoine Maisondieu lays a powdery rose over a bed of cardamom and ginger, running against a masculine decade that ignored the flower. Tonka bean, patchouli and musk hold the base and the nonchalance claimed by the campaign. The juice received a FiFi award in 2005 and became Brit For Him in the mid-2010s.
Top
Bergamot and green mandarin open, lifted from the first minute by ginger and cardamom: the opening the house announces is spicy as much as citrus.
Heart
The heart rests on a rose the house calls wild, less candied than a classic perfumery rose, with nutmeg and cedar. Wikiparfum also places cardamom and various woods there.
Base
Grey musk, patchouli and tonka bean anchor the base, with oriental woods the house does not name further. Wikiparfum limits itself to tonka bean and musk.
Other readings
Wikiparfum narrows the top to bergamot, ginger and green mandarin, moves cedar and cardamom down to the middle tier, and limits the base to tonka bean and musk; the house keeps the three-tier structure described above.
What remains outside
The oriental woods designate an accord with no named material, and the gray musk a nuance the house does not detail. The ingredient list in circulation still carries lilial, banned in the European Union since 2022: it describes an earlier formula.
