Harrods Pour Homme

Harrods Pour Homme by Roja Parfums is a masculine-leaning parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with lemon, bergamot, lime, sweet orange, bitter orange and litsea cubeba, moves into geranium, rose de mai, neroli, jasmine, ylang-ylang and violet and dries down to galbanum, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, juniper berry and cashmere wood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
Litsea Cubeba Also called May Chang. Sharp, lemon-sherbet brightness from a small peppery berry.

Heart

Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.

Dry-down

Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
