by Chanel
Chanel Pour Monsieur is a timeless, elegant masculine chypre fragrance that opens with a crisp, aromatic burst of Sicilian lemon, neroli, and petitgrain. This fresh, citrusy wave dissolves into a smooth, herbal heart of basil, cardamom, ginger, and coriander, creating a masculine yet subtle profile. The drydown reveals a refined, woody-mossy base of vetiver, cedar, and oakmoss, lending depth and quiet sophistication. It evokes a classic, barbershop elegance—discreet, polished, and grounded in refinement. Though most users appreciate its mature, timeless quality and comfortable wearability, the longevity and projection are consistently reported as weak, fading quickly to a soft, skin-scented presence. Even in its modern form, it retains an authentic, balanced structure and a unique aura of dignified confidence.
