Monsieur. (2017 Reformulation)
EDPMen
The Story
Monsieur. is a bold, spicy chypre that redefines masculinity. The 2017 reformulation by Bruno Jovanovic retains the original's audacious character while adding a smoother, more refined finish. It opens with a blast of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a rich heart of rose and patchouli, with a base of oakmoss and leather. This is a fragrance for a man who commands attention without raising his voice.
