🔻 Carnation, Leather, and the Liminal Gentleman

Léonard Pour Homme opens like a red carnation pinned to a black sport coat — radiant, swarthy, and seductive. A fragrance that straddles the line between gentleman and provocateur, between tailored restraint and erogenous tension.

Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmonal, Gamma Methylionone → Citrus clarity with floral heat — the carnation glows, not blushes.

Isobutylquinoline, Castoreum, Patchouli, Styrax, Birch Tar → Leather that bites. Animalic shadows stitched into elegance.

Thyme, Sage, Chamomile, Mint, Rosemary, Lavender → Aromatic herbs wrangle the beast — but never tame it.

Cedarwood, Vertofix, Boisambrene, Sandela → Dry woods and tannins — saddlery, dust, and discreet lust.

Coumarin, Liatrix, Lyral, Fixolide, Evernyl → Powdered sensuality. A gentleman’s afterglow.

Léonard Pour Homme is one of the greats — a scent that dares to be sexy in a time of suits and silence. For some, it even surpasses Antaeus — the mythic leather chypre by Chanel (1981), created by Jacques Polge. Where Antaeus evokes the strength and sensitivity of a Greek demi-god, Léonard Pour Homme whispers darker promises: velvet, heat, and the thrill of being almost improper.
