Caron # 3 Third Man Cologne by Caron, For a bright, summery sensation, men should wear Caron # 3 Third Man cologne over pulse points. The opening notes consist of bergamot, anise, rosemary and lavender. The heart notes include carnation, rose, geranium, fern and jasmine. This cologne ends with aromas of vanilla, tonka, patchouli, cedar wood, moss, musk and amber. This item launched in 1985.

Parfums Caron is a famous French perfume brand. The company was founded in 1904 by Ernest Daltroff.
Although he had no training to be a perfumer, he always had a profound love for the art form. During the start of the brand, Daltroff hired Felicie Wanpouille, a dressmaker, to serve as the company's artistic adviser. She oversaw all the packaging and bottle design, and this played a major role in the brand's success. Daltroff developed the compositions for the fragrances, and the two created some of the most renowned perfumes during the 20th century. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey, everybody, Matt here. Today, I'll be reviewing Le Troisieme Homme by Caron. Also known as the Third Man, a translation of its French moniker. Cloves, lavender, and oak moss dominate the composition. It's supported by a light citrusy opening, heart notes of coriander, and base notes of vetiver. It's a very retro scent, having first launched in 1985. And I'd recommend it for any season but summer. This fragrance really shines in the colder months of the year. All right, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this review. And please don't forget to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. And also please subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Excellent high quality fragrance for a great price!

This is very similar to and just as high quality as 'New York Intense' but at a fraction of the cost. If you like NYI get this fragrance, you won't be disappointed!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Amazing fragrance!

Caron is a really underrated house, especially outside of Europe. Le 3è Homme is better than so many "niche" scents today that are more popular. Some may call it dated, but I don't. I also think fougere fragrances are having somewhat of a renaissance. This is spicy and fresh at the same time. It's not listed as a note but I definitely get a leather scent from this much akin to Azzaro Pour Homme, but not as over powering. The clove in this is really nice but the citrus up top keeps it nice and clean smelling. Oakmoss in this is good, though I'm sure it's not real oakmoss. Love at first sniff, though I am very partial to fougere/barbershop type fragrances. It took a while to reach the Philippines since it was shipped from NY to Singapore first then to the Philippines, but the wait was worth it and Fragrancex customer service did a great job of responding to my emails and explaining everything. I am definitely goong to order a backup bottle when I can.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

The kind of scent that Oscar Wilde might have worn

The 3rd Man by CARON might also be described as the 3rd gender in the context of fragrances being traditionally described as masculine or feminine. The kind of scent that Oscar Wilde might have worn with his most dandified outfits, this aromatic citrus blends bergamot and geranium, with lemon, coriander and vetiver. The combination of ingredients creates an androgynous effect that is as captivating as it is enigmatic. A triumph of perfumery that is as reassuringly classic as it is thoroughly modern.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

An excellent woody Aromatic fragrance

Its a great woody aromatic fragrance which can be used for daily office purpose. Very clean, fresh vive. The only downfall is the performance which is around 5 to 6 hours. But for this price point you cannot complain. Very classy and can be a signature scent.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

True masculine classic scent.

This is a great fragrance by Caron. A great choice if you are not a fan of unisex scents and are seeking a true masculine one. I am a huge fan of Caron products. L'anarchiste is the only one i do not possess . . . yet.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Too much whiz and not enough bang

Le Troisieme Homme De Caron is among the best masculine floral composition. A multi colored and quite complex fragrance that opens with a classic fresh lavender and bergamot accord to then turn smoky, darker and aromatic with hints of rosemary and fern joined by remarkable floral patterns. The dry down it's warmer and sweeter with vanilla and tonka juxtaposed to a remarkable woody presence and animalic-musks. Simply perfect. Le Troisieme Homme has a few peculiar aspects that make of it quite a distinctive fragrance that's so hard to be described as all the elements are skillfully orchestrated in an unique blend. A must try. Surely not for everybody but if you're not afraid of showing your strength through intelligence and mannered kindness, this is for you.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Anisic Absinthe

Essentially fougere, although has gone through waist reduction over the years of reformulation. The current juice is still nice and recognizably floral fougere, but lacks depth and the bitterness oakmoss once provided. It's still a well balanced dandy-ish fragrance, and brings illusions much like how absinthe was once considered hallucinogenic.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
