Géranium Pour Monsieur (2013 Reformulation)
EDPMen
The Story
Géranium Pour Monsieur is a bold, aromatic fougère that puts geranium front and center. The 2013 reformulation sharpens the minty, peppery facets of the geranium while adding a clean, almost clinical freshness. It's a sophisticated, no-nonsense scent for the modern gentleman who appreciates classic structure with a contemporary edge.
