About This Perfume
Think bright citrus herbs with cool vetiver: that is Chanel Pour Monsieur. It opens with lemon, vervain and neroli, moves into basil, cardamom and ginger and settles on oakmoss, vetiver and cedarwood. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits the office. Released in 1955.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for the office.
- Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $176.
