Monsieur. pushes patchouli to an extreme dose: Bruno Jovanovic wanted a wholehearted fragrance that makes no concessions. Mandarin and a rum absolute brighten the opening with a lively, liqueur-like note.
Patchouli then takes up all the space, before a base of cedarwood, suede and incense. A deep woody amber, which the house ties to the perfumer's admiration for the landmark fragrances of the past.

Monsieur. in detail
At Frédéric Malle, a publisher of perfumes, each creation bears its author's signature. Monsieur. is that of Bruno Jovanovic, whom the house presents as a perfumer strongly inspired by the great classics. He made it a wholehearted fragrance that makes no concessions and pushes patchouli to an extreme dose.
The official pyramid is tight. At the top, mandarin and a rum absolute bring a lively, liqueur-like light. The heart is filled by patchouli alone, dense and earthy. The base pairs cedarwood, suede and incense. The house describes it as a woody amber.
Monsieur. suits autumn and winter, by day or by night, for anyone who loves fragrances of character and assumed intensity.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Decision 42 by Amouage shares incense, patchouli and cedarwood; Honour Man by Amouage brings together patchouli, incense and cedarwood; Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris pairs incense and patchouli in a more aromatic register.
