Is By Man still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued for many years. It is now considered a rare vintage item, making it difficult to find outside of auction sites and private collectors.
How does it perform in terms of longevity?+−
It is known for having very good longevity. It typically lasts through a full work day or an entire evening, eventually fading into a warm, woody skin scent that retains its animalic character.
Is this a casual everyday scent or for special occasions?+−
While it has a clean lavender element that works for business or daily wear, most users prefer it for evening use. Its spicy-sweet profile and musky undertones make it particularly well-suited for dates or nights out in the fall and winter.
Is this fragrance strictly for men?+−
Although marketed for men, the use of hedione and sweet amber gives it a certain softness. Many collectors consider it a unisex-leaning oriental, though it maintains a core barbershop woodiness that feels traditionally masculine.
