Pour Monsieur Eau de Parfum

I hardly need to add my voice to this, but this is one of my absolute must-buys. Every man should try it once. It doesn't smell anything like Dior Eau Sauvage, but it is conceptually similar insofar as it represents a classic of the mid 20th century canon. I get a clean and creamy, although not especially sweet, citrus. French lavender (not the English stuff.) Honeyed bark and just a brushstroke of vetiver. That luxurious Chanel spice comes out too, although it's soft and very gentle here. I like to think about fragrance as people. There is a man who lives near me who is tall, slim, blond and very handsome. I think he's in his late 30s although he could pass for 10 years younger. There's an elven delicacy to him but also an imperiousness; a confidence. He is light, but not weak. He moves with the grace of a ballet dancer and is always beautifully, if understatedly, dressed. I don't know what fragrance he wears - he's too classy to ever wear anything that projects too much - but in personality terms, he is Chanel Pour Monsieur down to a T.

stole it from my dad once, not sure why tbh, but I instantly fell in love, on me its definitely unisex and veeery long lasting, sillage is great too, I used to go for all those sweet marketed towards women fragrances, but this one has showed me perfumes don't have gender and to definitely not disqualify them just because they have "pour homme" written on a bottle

Excellent cologne. One of the few colognes I've bought outright after first trying it on at the department store. And I bought it from Nordstrom, certainly not the cheapest of department stores, either. Funny thing was is that I paid only about $100 for a full bottle. This scent is so good you'd think it would be selling for at least twice its price. I normally don't like citrus in my cologne, and you certainly notice it when you first spray it on (and it is almost too loud). But it morphs into something really pleasant and aromatic with an undercurrent of sweetness. I think this is a really good summer scent and its performance hasn't been an issue for me (I have the EDP version). In fact, I've almost used up the whole bottle and would certainly buy another one once it runs out.

This juice is gorgeous! Opens up with a sweet lemon candy note(which initially turned me off) but after about 15-30 minutes it starts to blossom a little and the harsh lemony vibe starts to mellow and the lavender starts to take over and it begins to feel more woody. This is a mature type scent. Def a signature scent on the right guy. I have had this bottle for over a year now and I'm just now giving it a real wearing. Projects and lasts just right. I'm really loving it. This, to me, fits right in between Chanel allure pour homme and coromandel. I suggest trying it out, it's truly a charmer. Suggested age: 35 + Scent 9/10 Longevity 8/10 Sillage 7/10 ❤️

Opening I get a big blast of lemon, not a dish soap lemon, but a very smooth, fresh citrus. It is refreshing and invigorating and instantly lifts my mood. After half an hour or so, it gets to the heart and the nutmeg appears, adding a spicy depth that is both sophisticated and alluring. You can still smell lemon, just less strong, blending beautifully with the nutmeg. After a bit the lemon fades away, the nutmeg has a nice subtle, sweet, spiciness that blends in with the vanilla base for a lovely creamy dry down, without being too sweet thanks to the oakmoss which keeps it balanced, providing a warm, sweet yet not too sweet finish that lingers on my skin for hours. It never becomes overpowering or cloying, but maintains a pleasant, inviting aura around me. Great for any time of year. I prefer it to the EDT. Longevity: 6-7 hours. Edit: this site doesn’t show oakmoss as a note, but looking at the ingredients on my box from Chanel (and it’s on their website), they’re using the real thing: EVERNIA PRUNASTRI (OAK MOSS) EXTRACT
