Geranium Pour Monsieur

Geranium Pour Monsieur is a highly distinctive, minimalist aromatic fougère with an intense upfront burst of mint and geranium that feels instantly bracing—some liken it to toothpaste or mouthwash, though the fragrance is more complex than that initial impression suggests. The mint remains prominent for the first 30 to 60 minutes, delivering a cold, refreshing, and almost medicinal coolness, which then evolves into a more balanced, green-warm profile. Geranium is photorealistic in its sharp, savory, slightly acrid freshness, and is seamlessly blended with star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and a dry, sweet musky base. The drydown is subtle and cozy—wooded, resinous, with hints of sandalwood and incense—but the sillage remains moderate and never overpowering. It’s best suited for spring and summer days, or hot weather, where its cooling effect is most appreciated. Longevity is moderate to good, though sillage fades to a skin scent within a few hours. The fragrance is intensely unisex in character, despite its name, and has earned a cult following among those who adore botanical freshness and clean intensity. It demands patience and an appreciation for mint and green tones, but offers a deeply refreshing experience for those who like their scents precise and exceptional.
