Pour Monsieur in detail
Pour Monsieur Eau de Toilette, created in 1955, is the only Chanel masculine fragrance composed in Mademoiselle's lifetime. Gabrielle Chanel conceived it with the men of her circle in mind; the house describes an elegant, sober, discreet fragrance. The page does not give the perfumer.
Chanel names only two materials, without tiers. Sicilian lemon and Tunisian neroli give a fresh, citrus opening. The house then evokes a deep, spicy heart and a discreet, subtle woody trail, without detailing their materials. It files the whole among fresh chypres.
Pour Monsieur is worn in spring and autumn, mostly by day. It is a refined, classic citrus chypre, for those who love understated masculine fragrances. It goes along with a working day or a lunch.
Three niche fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Chypress by Floris brings together lemon and neroli; Colonia Essenza and Colonia Intensa by Acqua di Parma also pair lemon and neroli, in the spirit of eaux de Cologne.
