French niche line Divine has launched L'Homme Accompli, a new leather fragrance for men.
The fragrance of l’homme accompli is in his image. Interlaced with amber and leather, it pays homage to the serene notes of vetiver, guaiac wood, styrax and cedar from the Atlas montain, with the freshness and sparkle of green violet, bergamot and Calabrian lemon.
Additional notes include cardamom and coriander.
Divine L'Homme Accompli is available in 50, 100 and 150 ml splash, 50 ml refillable spray, Eau de Parfum concentration.

Divine generally does a really nice job with their fragrances for men. I’m curious about this one just based on what I’ve tried from them in the past. Even if it isn’t a favorite of mine, I pretty much like (and in a couple cases love) their perfumes.
Agree — I like their men’s better than their women’s.
Which ones would you recommend to try first? I’m curious about the line but never came across any.
This one is still my favorite:

L’Homme Sage is a lovely spicy perfume, with good staying power and while I guess you could say it’s traditionally masculine, it isn’t that aquatic/grapefruit/ginger/spicy/generic musk formula so popular in that category. It’s spicy, a tiny bit sweet, and even a little earthy.
I also agree with Robin that L’Homme de Coeur is gorgeous, and I think of it as something an aloof intellectual guy would be perfect in. A very cool and crisp iris with maybe a little green leaf and even tiny hint of lavender? It’s beautiful!
For women, L’Ame Soeur is my absolute favorite (aldehydic floral) closely followed by the original Divine (bwf but very classy) and L’Inspiratrice, a lovely rose/patchouli. I think the last one has been reworked in recent years, and the newer version is still nice if not quite as vampy as the original.
But all of their fragrances are very well done, would work for casual or formal and their customer service is excellent. And, I’m pretty sure they sell a sample set.
I’m not affiliated, just love the house and wish it were more widely known/appreciated.
I couldn’t agree more with all that Absolute Scentualist has just said. My favourite happens to be the original Divine, especially in extrait de parfum.
The men’s perfumes are also very good. Apart from l’Homme de Coeur, l’Homme Infini is also very good. It’s not dissimilar to Marc Jacobs Bang.
Their cologne (Eau Divine) is truly lovely as well.
Thank you both – will investigate samples.
I received a small card sprayed with this fragrance the other day. It’s nice enough, but I’ll need to try it on skin to really know what it’s like. Big fan of Divine in general.
I got that too. Not good at smelling that way, although it did make all that day’s mail fragrant.
Me too. Smelled pleasant but would need to try a spray on skin.
