Marbert Homme arrived today.
Sprayed it on my wrist and immediately got greeted by the familiar smell of a classic chypre fragrance, with vanilla on top. This was apparently released in 2012. Polge straight up copied this in 2016 and released it as "Pour Monsieur Eau de Parfum", because it's what this smells like. The budget version of Pour Monsieur EdP, or at least the inspiration for it. Like someone told Polge to take Marbert Homme and make it smell more expensive. Immediately went to fragrantica to see the "reminds me of"-section, but no PM EdP to be found. Instead, I looked in the reviews and found confirmation. This isn't "One Man Show". Fragrantica must be reviewing a similar fragrance from Marbert, or vintage versions or whatever.

If you want PM EdP on a budget or a classic vanilla chypre, Marbert Homme might be for you. Since I got it for 8.49€, this will stay in my collection. As for similarities to Hattric Aftershave, there are none.
Useless trivia: I drove past the original Marbert company many times.
