A87 Eclipse vs Mat; Homme

Shared character

Both A87 Eclipse and Mat; Homme are citrus‑oriented fragrances that share a woody‑musky backbone, featuring the same citrus accord and woody family. Their common notes include ciste labdanum, elemi, cashmeran and lime, giving each a bright yet grounded opening.

How they differ

A87 Eclipse leans into an aromatic fougère and powdery‑amber profile, adding sandalwood, mandarin, clary sage, lavender, mandarin orange, sage, amberwood and cistus incanus, which contribute a fresh‑spicy, warm‑spicy and lavender‑rich character. Mat; Homme, in contrast, emphasizes a sharper citrus‑spice blend with lemon, guaiac wood, cinnamon, saffron, lavandin, cedar leaf and Sichuan pepper, resulting in a more pronounced peppery‑spicy edge without the aromatic fougère or powdery facets found in A87 Eclipse.

Who each suits

A87 Eclipse is suited to wearers who enjoy a classic fougère feel with a balance of fresh citrus, herbaceous sage and a warm, powdery amber base—ideal for daytime or office settings where a refined, slightly aromatic scent is desired. Mat; Homme appeals to those who prefer a crisp, pepper‑spiced citrus fragrance with pronounced woody notes, making it a good match for evenings or occasions where a bolder, more vibrant spice profile is wanted.
