Eau de Monsieur (Original)
EDTMen
The Story
Eau de Monsieur is a classic citrus chypre that feels both timeless and refreshing. Annick Goutal crafted this fragrance in 1984 as a tribute to the classic eau de cologne, but with a deeper, more sophisticated structure. The opening is a bright burst of lemon and bergamot, softened by a floral heart of jasmine and rose, and anchored by a warm, mossy base of oakmoss and patchouli. It's a gentleman's scent that is elegant, understated, and perfect for any occasion.
