Introduced in 1980 by Oscar de la Renta, Pour Lui EDT is a timeless aromatic fougère crafted for the sophisticated gentleman. Celebrated at the FiFi Awards as Men’s Fragrance of the Year – Luxe in 1981, it remains a benchmark of refined classic masculinity. 

Fragrance Notes

• Top: Aldehydes, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Galbanum, Basil, Sage, Caraway, Anise, Bergamot

• Heart: Carnation, Patchouli, Cinnamon, Geranium, Cedar, Vetiver, Cyclamen

• Base: Oakmoss, Leather, Labdanum, Sandalwood, Musk 

This blend opens with a crisp, herbal-spicy freshness that transitions into a floral heart and settles into a rich, woody-leather base evoking timeless elegance.

Why It Stands Out

• Vintage charm, modern relevance – A scent that conjures soapy lavender and mossy leather with unexpected warmth.

  “Aldehyde, lavender, juniper, patchouli, leather, and a hint of cinnamon: soapy and baby powdery, but in the classiest way possible.”

• Well‑balanced and masculine – A thoughtful harmonization of herbal, floral, and earthy notes.

• Remarkable value – Often praised for affordability:

  “If you're looking for a warmer, woodier smelling cologne.
  

Scent Character & Performance

• Profile: Spicy-aromatic with soapy lavender and green herbal freshness, unfolding to warm leather and mossy woods.

• Longevity & Projection: Moderately long-lasting (~2–5 hours skin alone) with decent sillage and a soft dry-down. Performance may vary between vintage and current batches.

Ideal For

• The classic man who appreciates nostalgic yet sophisticated fragrances.

• Fall and winter wear, as the warm spice and leather are well-suited to cooler climates.

• Everyday refinement—whether you're dressing formally or seeking a mature scent.

• Age group tends to skew 30+, as younger users may find it dated.
