I guess my first impression is that Pierre Cardin Pour Homme smells pretty. I don’t even really mean that as a compliment. There is nothing distinctive about it, but it smells pleasant when first sprayed. If I were a child smelling a parent or other adult’s cologne, this is the kind of thing I would imagine. I would think something like “that’s cologne, alright.” You could bottle this and just put “cologne” on the bottle. Nothing special, definitely masculine, completely lost among every other cheap fragrance. It’s not crass or unsophisticated, though. It will do.
