Geranium Pour Monsieur

About

A fresh green fougère led by cool mint, geranium and star anise, then shaped by dry spices and airy eucalyptus. The base turns woody-resinous with sandalwood, incense and musk. It wears clean, composed and quietly confident through the day.

Geranium Pour Monsieur opens with a bright, cooling mint accord, where green geranium and star anise sketch a dry spicy outline from the first seconds. The opening feels clean and barbershop-leaning in a fougère way, yet without old-school heaviness. In the heart, clove and cinnamon bring warmth, while eucalyptus keeps the air moving and the profile brisk. Lily of the valley adds a transparent floral tone and keeps the scent away from sweetness. In the base, musk, sandalwood, incense, styrax, benzoin and ambroxan form a smooth woody-resinous trail. Projection is noticeable in the first hours, then it settles closer to the skin in a tidy manner. It suits wearers who enjoy a fresh green fougère with a dry spicy edge for daytime, office wear and warm shoulder seasons.
