One of the most densely layered men's fragrances from its era, Sung Homme Cologne was built with clear old world complexity. Caraway, pepper, basil, bergamot, galbanum, petitgrain, juniper berries, artemisia, sage, lemon, and bay leaf crowd into an extraordinarily herbal, green top accord. Aldehydes, jasmine, rose, geranium, spicy notes, carnation, caraway, and pine tree needles carry the heart into rich, spiced floral territory rarely attempted today.
Leather, patchouli, oakmoss, cedar, sandalwood, fir, vetiver, and musk collect in a dense, resinous base with remarkable depth. As an aromatic fougere, Sung Homme suits formal occasions and colder months especially well, where its considerable richness has notable room to unfold. Alfred Sung composed this cologne for connoisseurs of vintage masculine perfumery, and its patience rewarding structure remains distinctive among modern releases.
A single spray is distinctly enough given how densely layered and long lasting this composition proves to be.
