The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Lalique and crafted by perfumers Christine Nagel and Mathilde Bijaoui, Hommage à l'Homme Eau de Toilette is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of modern masculinity. The composition opens with violet leaf and saffron, creating a fresh yet intriguing top note. As it evolves, black pepper and pimento leaf add warmth and spice, while agarwood (oud) provides depth and complexity. The base notes of musk and cistus incanus create a powdery, ozonic finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points and allow it to settle before venturing out. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so let the warm spicy heart take center stage for the majority of the day.
