Carven Pour Homme Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray

Carven Pour Homme Eau de Toilette 50ml is a refined woody-spicy fragrance for men, launched in 2014 by the French house and composed by perfumers Francis Kurkdjian and Patricia Choux. The composition opens on a crisp lift of violet leaf and grapefruit, eases into an aromatic-spicy heart of sage, nutmeg and cedar, and dries down on a polished base of vetiver and sandalwood — a confidently grown-up daily masculine signature.

About Carven

Carven is a French couture house founded in 1945 by designer Marie-Louise Carven, internationally recognised for its elegant Parisian ready-to-wear and its long-running perfume line. The house re-launched its fragrance line in 2010 with new pillars including the original Carven Le Parfum and, in 2014, Carven Pour Homme — its modern flagship masculine. The Eau de Toilette version remains the best-known concentration of the men's line.

Olfactory family: Woody Spicy  |  Launched: 2014  |  Perfumers: Francis Kurkdjian, Patricia Choux

Who it's for

Carven Pour Homme suits men drawn to refined, polished woody-spicy fragrances with a fresh-green opening — the same audience that already enjoys compositions like Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme, Hermès Terre d'Hermès or Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. The violet-leaf-and-grapefruit opening keeps it pleasant enough for daytime and spring/summer wear, while the cedar-vetiver-sandalwood base gives it enough character for autumn and evening occasions. A versatile year-round signature.

How to use

1. Spray two to three times onto pulse points — the inside of the wrists, the base of the neck, the chest.
2. Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin for an even mist.
3. For a longer-lasting trail, mist once across a shirt collar or scarf.
4. Don't rub the wrists together after spraying — it bruises the top notes and shortens longevity.
