Launched in 1934, Pour Un Homme de CARON was the very first fragrance for men. This iconic scent is brimming with captivating contrasts, in a pairing of two almost contradictory notes: lavender and vanilla, one refreshing and the other creamy. This duo, subtly enhanced with essence of Turkish rose, gradually reveals a masterful amber accord combining styrax, opoponax and musk.
The French lavender essence used in the composition of Pour Un Homme de CARON is exclusively sourced from the fields of Jérôme BOENLE, a lavender producer in Sault, Provence.
A note from Jean Jacques, CARON’s in-House Perfumer: "The perfect balance between the fusing freshness of lavender and the sensual opulence of vanilla. An elegant alchemy that has become emblematic! ”
Pour un Homme, Caron, is a true classic for men, unique in its kind due to the combination of lavender with amber and vanilla. The fragrance was way ahead of its time and is, to this date, still considered one of the most influential French men’s fragrances, refined masculine floral.

A traditional fougère is characterized by citrus top notes, an aromatic heart of lavender, roses or geranium that lay on a bed of oak moss and hay smelling coumarin. The name Fougère stems from the original perfume Fougère Royale, created in 1882 by the iconic perfumer Houbigant. As Houbigant said at the time, "if God had given ferns a scent, they would have smelled like Fougère Royale."
