Modest Pour Homme Une

2019

“Sauvage’s shower-fresh swagger. The grab-and-go scent for the gym bag and the Monday meeting.”

Modest Pour Homme Une
fresh spicy
citrus
aromatic

Afnan's 2019 Modest Pour Homme Une is widely positioned as an alternative to Dior Sauvage EDT (2015): pepper and lavender open over a eucalyptus-tinged heart, settling on vetiver. Fresh spice leads the accords, with citrus, aromatic and lavender facets and a clean woody drydown. Versatile across spring, summer and fall, leaning daytime.
