Up for grabs: Caron Le Troisieme Homme

Posted by Robin on 20 September 2012 65 Comments — Comments are closed

Caron Le Troisième Homme

What is it: A 100  ml bottle of Caron Le Troisième Homme, about 95% full.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment telling me that you live in the US. Also, please tell me about your favorite Caron fragrance, if you have one. If you don't have one, tell me about your favorite (so far) classic fragrance for men.

Be sure to use the “Post a comment” box; do not reply to another comment! All replies to comments will be deleted!

The contest will be open until noon or so on Monday, and I'll announce the winner on Tuesday.

The fine print: Don't enter the contest unless I have permission to use the email address in your reader account to contact you. If the email address in your reader account is incorrect, you might want to fix it. If you are the winner and you fail to send me your mailing details within a couple weeks, I’ll give your prize away to someone else. Sadly, it sometimes usually takes me a month to mail a package. Reasonable care will be taken in the packaging and mailing of your prize, but if the contents are lost or damaged or fail to please you for any reason whatsoever, I’m sorry but I cannot replace them.

    Hi Robin and thanks for the draw! I live in the US and my favorite Caron fragrance so far is Narcisse Noir in either concentration. Though I think that when I’m finally able to try Farnesiana, NN may be dethroned. ;)

    I have been wanting to try this!
    My favorite Caron is Tabac Blond.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    Whoops- I live in the US. Sorry I forgot to mention that…

    I don’t really have a favorite classic men’s fragrance, though I did have a bottle of Chanel Egoïste that I really enjoyed, but it didn’t have much lasting power on me.

    Hey Robin,

    I live in the US, and I haven’t had the pleasure of trying a Caron fragrance as of yet. Pour un Homme and Yatagan have always been on my list to check out. I don’t own a ton of classics being a man in my 20’s, but thus far my favs are Guerlain’s Vetiver and Dunhill EDC 1934.

    The Dunhill EDC 1934 would take the lead, because I find it to be greatly under-appreciated in the fragrance world. It manages to meld florals and citrus together, with a truly masculine leathery edge and animalic undertone. This all done in a classy and non-offensive way. If you appreciate a scent like Eau Sauvage, this Dunhill should be on your list.. An EDC that has lasting power that has exceeded that of some EDP’s I have tried. An absolute gem for fall that does well almost any day of the year.

    I LOVE Caron fragrances and live in the United States. My favorite Caron fragrance is Yatagan, which is unique, rich and spicy. I own several ideations, including the most recent. On my list of Caron buys is Parfum Sacre; its name alone draws me to it.

    My current favorite Caron is Nuit de Noel. Although from the reviews I’ve read of Caron Le Troisième Homme, it might be replaced! I would love to experience a scent reminiscent of “ice wine”. I live in the US. Thanks for the draw, Robin!

  21. Lucy says:

    No favorite Caron scent yet. Favorite men’s fragrance is hard to pick really. I’ve always liked Paco Rabanne. Kenzo Air is a favorite too.

    I have a beautiful bottle of vintage Bellodgia which I almost drained this summer. Also, I like Nacisse Noir but it never sat correctly on my skin.

  29. mutzi says:

    My favorite Caron is Tubereuse extrait. I love tuberose and this one is far and away the best on me.

    New member; still doing my newbie reading so I can play in the deep end of the pool and be snarky with everyone else : )

    I live in the US. …Don’t know if it’s a classic fragrance, but I loved Kouros. Recently tried Sander for Men and Boucheron Pour Homme but both are kinda “meh”. …Wearable but that’s it.

  37. samberg says:
    20 September 2012 at 7:08 pm

    I’m in the USA and I adore Aimez-Moi even more than I do Narcisse Noir.

    Living the USA and enjoying Givenchy Vetyver as a “classic” fragrance.

  39. rosiegreen62 says:

    I live in the US and my favorite Caron is Parfum Sacre. My favorite men’s classic is the 1970’s era Old Spice. It reminds me of my dad. We gave it to him every Christmas. Thanks for the draw.

  40. Marjorie Rose says:
    20 September 2012 at 7:57 pm

    I live in the US.
    I like several Caron scents, but don’t own any. Caron Pour un Homme is probably the nicest one I’ve tried.

  41. georgiawells says:
    20 September 2012 at 8:16 pm

    I live in the US.
    I have yet to try a Caron scent.
    My favorite classic men’s fragrance is Dior Eau Sauvage.

  42. Rednails says:

    I live in the US. My favorite Caron is Narcisse Noir, but only in the vintage.

  43. hoo10anny says:
    20 September 2012 at 10:50 pm

    Le Troisieme Homme is by far my fav Caron . . . brings me back to when I first moved in with my then-boyfriend (now husband). He loved the frag on me. (And it’s also a great noir film!)

    Oh, and I live in the U.S.!

  44. jbordeau says:
    20 September 2012 at 10:54 pm

    I live in the U.S. I have tried few of the Caron fragrances. My favorite men’s classic is Aramis…terrific chypre to wear in a restaurant, or refreshing after a workout and shower.

  45. LuxuryObsessed.com says:
    20 September 2012 at 11:02 pm

    I live in the US. i have not had the chance to sample any Caron fragrances, but I have always loved the reviews of Troisieme Homme! My favorite male classics are Eau Sauvage, Chanel Pour Homme and Guerlain Vetiver.

  46. gerbick says:
    20 September 2012 at 11:35 pm

    I live in the US and presently enjoy Caron Yuzu. I know it wasn’t a fave, but it wears well & the woman enjoys it… that’s a plus!

  47. Dink says:
    20 September 2012 at 11:42 pm

    I guess I’m not the only one who has not smelled Caron fragrances, but have read much about them. I have been curious about this one and many others. I live in the U.S.

  48. NinaraPoll says:
    21 September 2012 at 12:34 am

    I live in the U.S. The last time I ever had the chance to sniff a Caron, I was perhaps 13? 14?… and that was many moons ago, so I have no recollection of what I liked then. I have several favorite mens’ scents, but so far, vintage Old Spice still hits the spot, as it reminds me of my dad. (I am so déclassé it hurts…. ) Thank you for hosting this drawing!

  49. Brooke says:

  52. Donald says:

    I live in the US.

    Le Troisième Homme is my favorite from Caron. It’s so creamy and elegant. My bottle is getting low, so winning a replacement would be the bee’s knees.

  53. rev320 says:
    21 September 2012 at 2:17 pm

    I live in the US. I have not tried any Caron offerings yet. My favorite men’s classic is Chanel Antaeus.

  54. Fernando says:
    21 September 2012 at 2:28 pm

    I live in the U.S.

    Not clear about a favorite Caron. I think probably Parfum Sacre or Bellodgia. I’ve never tried their Third Man, but I’ve heard good things.

  55. FearsMice says:
    21 September 2012 at 6:45 pm

    I live in the US.
    My favorite Caron is Tabac Blond. I haven’t tried any of the “male” Carons.
    My favorite male fragrance might just be old-fashioned Grey Flannel.

  56. dominika says:
    21 September 2012 at 7:08 pm

    I live in the US, and it’s Parfum Sacre :)

  57. abcleo63 says:

    I live in the US. I do not own a Caron fragrance. My favorite classic fragrance is Polo by Ralph Lauren. I have lots of memories wearing this and received lots of compliments from the ladies. Thank you for offering this giveaway.

  58. Flora says:

    I live in the U.S. and you have my permission to use my e-mail, thanks for the great opportunity!

    I love so many Carons, mostly in their “vintage” formulations. Parfum Sacre is in my permanent top 5 perfumes of all time and I can’t imagine living without it. As for masculines, I love good old Yatagan as much as anything!

  59. Woodgirl says:
    22 September 2012 at 1:30 pm

    I live in the US. My favorite Caron used to be Yatagan – even though it made me smell like I had fallen in a rosemary bush!. But then I smelled Parfum Sacre, and I fell in love with it. I’ve always been intrigued by Le 3me Homme and Nuit de Noel, but haven’t gotten a chance to smell either. Thanks for the draw.

  60. Bronyraur says:

  62. obscura says:
    22 September 2012 at 9:55 pm

    I don’t have a favorite Caron, but my favorite classic is the original Chanel Pour Monsieur (I have a bottle of Chanel For Men). I’d love to give this one a try!

    I live in the US, and thanks for the giveaway!

  63. thenoseknows says:
    23 September 2012 at 5:54 pm

    I Live in The United States… Fave Caron is Fleurs De Rocaille. Classic Men’s Fragrance would be Chanel Pour Monsieur… I LOVE Chanel Pour Monsieur with an UNHOLY Passion.. it’s just so Bracing and Aromatic and SEXY all at the same time! :-)
