Chanel Pour Monsieur is a fragrance that it would be easy to pass by, as it might seem like a rather generic mens cologne. However I think that would be a mistake. Pour Monsieur is very refined and elegant, and as such it doesn't announce its presence too loudly. There aren't any exotic notes, and it is very unlikely that you will notice anything you haven't already come across, however what does distinguish this fragrance is how beautifully it is composed.
The top notes of lemon and petitgrain are set against the bitter-sweet base of oakmoss and woods. A lightly spiced castoreum note appears in the middle-ground, which is a nod to the traditional masculine fragrance, but unlike many power-scents from the '70s and '80s, it just adds a touch of colour to the fragrance, which is otherwise a very pure chypre. The blending is and ingredients are exquisite, making this a good enough fragrance for any occasion, while still being understated and elegant enough for everyday wear. If I had a signature fragrance this could be it, as I can put it on and forget about it, yet still have little reminders throughout the day of how good it is. Unfortunately my wandering nose has not allowed me to stay faithful to any scent, but I will never be without Pour Monsieur. Incidentally, there is another scent that goes by the same name but Chanel call it an EdT Concentree. It is not the same scent.
