The world first encountered Business Man by Panouge in 1984. A masculine fragrance rooted in the fern family. Offered in eau de toilette concentration.
Country of origin — France: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The perfect reason to explore the world of Panouge a little more closely — or add another favourite to your collection. The official website of Panouge — http://www.thompsonferrier.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Business Man is shaped as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Panouge is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette supports the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Green, Aromatic and Floral. It also reaches into Whiteflower, Wood, Ambery and Leather. At family level the scent maps to Fern.
From the first breath you detect radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon and Rosemary.
In the heart you sense Fern, Geranium, Jasmine, Tarragon, Thyme and White Cedar carrying a lavender-sage direction.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber and Leather expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Overall Business Man reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best understood through real development.
