About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Le 3e Homme (1985) is a woody aromatic built on a full, old-school structure. The top opens with lavender, Amalfi lemon, bergamot, anise, and rosemary — a brisk, herbal-citrus rush that feels classic rather than sharp. The heart brings coriander, carnation, geranium, jasmine, and rose, adding a spicy-floral density that keeps the composition from turning into a simple cologne. The base is where it settles: oak moss, vetyver, vanilla, cedar, tonka bean, patchouli, and musk create an earthy, mossy, woody floor with a soft vanillic warmth. The listed accords — aromatic 100%, citrus 76%, earthy 68%, lavender 67%, mossy 66%, woody 63% — describe a fragrance that is unapologetically aromatic and grounded. It suits collectors who appreciate traditional French masculines, especially those who enjoy lavender-forward scents with a mossy, slightly sweet finish. Best for cooler weather, daytime wear, or evenings when you want presence without loudness. Discontinued, so bottles are sought after.

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
