Chanel Pour Monsieur Eau De Toilette

Chanel Pour Monsieur Eau De Toilette was first launched in 1955, created by master perfumer Henri Robert as Chanel’s very first men’s fragrance. It embodies timeless masculine elegance, crafted in a refined citrus-chypre style that has remained a classic for decades. Designed for the gentleman of understated sophistication, Pour Monsieur continues to be celebrated for its balance of freshness, refinement, and subtle power.

The opening sparkles with lemon, neroli, and petitgrain, creating a crisp, citrusy burst that is both invigorating and elegant. The brightness of lemon is uplifted by the slightly green bitterness of petitgrain, while neroli adds a touch of floral sweetness, making the introduction sharp yet smooth.

At the heart, cardamom, ginger, basil, and coriander reveal a spicy-aromatic character. Cardamom and ginger give warmth and vibrancy, while basil and coriander add herbal depth. Together, they create a sophisticated middle that transitions seamlessly from freshness to subtle complexity.

The base is composed of oakmoss, vetiver, cedarwood, and musk. These notes provide a grounding chypre structure—earthy oakmoss and smoky vetiver intertwine with woody cedar, while musk adds a soft sensuality. The dry down is refined, discreet, and long-lasting, leaving a trail of quiet confidence.
