  This was one of the first good fragrances I owned, and I bought it as a tester. Back then, it was incredible to me, not having much knowledge about perfumes yet. Its vetiver aroma, talc-like, combined with a faint, clean, soapy lavender and the fragrant lime peel, but not invasive, along with a subtle vanilla, made it very elegant, though with medium, not powerful, longevity. Today, while organizing my things, I found the bottle and decided to go to the store to test it again on my skin and relive old times, but it wasn’t the same. My nose had progressed through several levels of sophistication, and it now seemed a fragrance without major pretensions but still elegant. While I always criticized its bottle for being too much chrome-plated plastic, making it look less elegant, I’m sure it was top-tier in its time, especially with the Grace Jones | Citroën CX 2 1985 commercial. Now, I remember it more as a cleaner, talc-like, perfumed lime version of a Hugo Boss bottle. I’m not sure if I’d buy it again as a priority, though I haven’t ruled it out.

  This was one of the first good fragrances I owned, and I bought it as a tester; at that time, it was incredible for me not to have much experience with perfumes. Its vetiver scent, powdery, along with a faint, clean, soapy lavender, and the fragrant lime peel but not invasive, plus a faint vanilla, made it very elegant, with medium—not potent—fixation. Today, while organizing my things, I found the bottle and decided to go to the store to test it again and relive old times, but my nose wasn’t the same anymore; I had passed several levels in terms of potency, and it seemed like a fragrance without major pretensions but still elegant. Although I always criticized its chrome-plastic bottle for making it look less elegant, it must have been top-tier in its time with the Grace Jones commercial for the Citroën CX 2 from 1985. Now it reminds me more of a Hugo Boss but cleaner, powdery, and perfumed lime. I’m not sure if I’d buy it again as a priority, though I don’t rule it out.

  Overall, we criticize the lack of innovation in current launches or the trend of mass flankers, but there are also some great and interesting releases like this Eau de Parfum. It’s a masterpiece. I believe that in this case, as well as with the late flankers of Eau Sauvage, we’re dealing with interesting reinterpretations of those classics. Proposals that add an interesting twist, aimed at a certain age group. In this case, I don’t know much about either the concentrate or the original, but they certainly bear a resemblance. So, what do you find when you put it on? I see pure beauty. This is a gorgeous perfume with magnificent vanilla. Yes, it gives the impression of having few notes, but they are all quite crisp, clear, and unambiguous. They know exactly what they want, and that essence is bold masculinity and elegance. Citrus sparkles, aromatic facets, and absolutely superb vanilla. A fresh layer and a creamy one. Vanilla that’s not overly sweetened, with a spicy and green note that adds character and grounds the scent. Everything is very pleasant and courteous. Constantly a very masculine perfume, very Chanel, very barbershop, and very French. Totally timeless and mature. Clearly conservative. Whether that’s a flaw or a virtue is up to the reader 🙂 Performance seems quite good, and I also find it very versatile. There are several vanilla-based masculine options among Chanel’s offerings, and this is just another one. I’m sharing my thoughts in case they help. Edition Blanche is for a more modern, relaxed crowd. Boy is more ambiguous and aromatic. Pour Monsieur Eau de Parfum is directly for gentlemen. I, who haven’t used a comb in 15 years, know it’s absolutely not for me. But it’s highly recommended.

  Generally, we criticize the lack of originality in current launches or the massive flanking strategy, but good things like this Eau de Parfum are also released. I think it’s a marvel. I believe that here, as well as with the late flankers of Eau Sauvage, we are facing interesting reinterpretations of those classics, proposals that give a twist for a certain age target. I don’t know the concentrated or original version too well, but they seem similar. What do you find when you wear it? I see pure beauty. A beautiful perfume with superb vanilla. Yes, it gives the impression of carrying few notes; all sharp, clear, no doubts. They know what they want: resolute masculinity and elegance. Citrus flashes, aromatic aspects, and a superb vanilla. A fresh layer and a creamy one. Vanilla that’s not overly sweetened, with a spiced and green touch that adds character and lowers the tone. Everything is very friendly and courteous. Constantly a very masculine perfume, very Chanel, very barbershop, and very French. Totally timeless and mature. Clearly conservative. Let the reader decide if that’s a flaw or a virtue. Performance seems good, and I see it as very versatile. There are several vanilla men’s options from Chanel, and this is just another one. My opinion, in case it helps: Edition Blanche for people who are more modern and relaxed, Boy is more ambiguous and aromatic, Pour Monsieur Eau de Parfum is directly for Gentlemen. I went 15 years without using a comb, so I know it’s not for me, but it’s absolutely recommended.

  The scent… spectacular. What a pity about the longevity, too low. But anyway, a true luxury. Although it doesn’t project much, it sticks to you and you can’t stop enjoying it. I have all three Pour Monsieur versions (traditional, Concentrée, and Parfum), and I stick with this one.

  The scent… is spectacular. What a shame about the longevity. It’s way too low. But hey, this is a true luxury perfume. Even though it doesn’t project much, it clings to your skin and you can’t help but enjoy it. I own all three of the Pour Monsieur line (Traditional, Concentré, and Parfum), and I’m sticking with this one.

  I’ve fallen in love with this fragrance; what a delight, what elegance, so stylish. This is a perfume jewel. Pure classicism taken to its most sublime form. It’s straight-up Chanel, which means quality worth its weight in gold. I walked past the Chanel counter in a store and saw Pour Monsieur, which I like a lot, but then I also saw Pour Monsieur Parfum and threw myself into their arms to try it for the rest of the day. I loved the opening with a sweet, non-pungent, rounded, and subtle lemon, followed by lavender and vetiver sliding slowly into that mix. Vanilla appears after about 30 minutes, perceptible and incredibly pleasant—a luxury, beautiful, classic, exquisite vanilla. This is a fragrance for a man in his entirety, a gentleman. I’ll buy it because I see it as a work of art. My daily scent is Eau Sauvage, but Pour Monsieur Parfum will be for special occasions that deserve others to savor this scent.

  I’ve fallen in love with this fragrance, what a delight, what elegance, so much style—it’s a jewel. Pure classicism taken to the sublime. It’s pure, hard-core Chanel, quality worth its weight in gold. I passed by the Chanel section in a store, saw Pour Monsieur, which I like, but next to it I saw Pour Monsieur Parfum and threw myself into the arms of the tester to smell it for the rest of the day. I really liked the opening with a sweet, non-pungent, rounded, and subtle lemon; then lavender and vetiver slid in gradually. Vanilla appears after about 30 minutes, perceptible and too pleasant—a luxury vanilla, beautiful, classic, and exquisite. It’s a fragrance for a man in his entirety, a gentleman. I’ll buy it; I see it as a work of art. My daily is Eau Sauvage, but Pour Monsieur Parfum will be for special occasions that deserve for others to delight in this scent.

  I love it. Very similar to the Concentree I already reviewed. Maybe a slightly more citrusy opening, better performance, and more balanced. The Concentree is wilder, while this one is a bit more domesticated. Versatile, good performance. For spring, summer, and autumn. More for day than night. Long-lasting longevity, moderate sillage.

  I love it. Very similar to the Concentree I already reviewed. Maybe slightly more citrusy in the opening, better performance, and more balanced. The Concentree feels wilder, while this one is a bit more tamed. Versatile. Good performance. Perfect for spring, summer, and fall. More for day than for night. Long-lasting longevity. Moderate sillage.

  A classic and conservative fragrance. It opens with a bright, luminous lemon, fresh, which enlivens the day. It evolves quickly: by half an hour, the lemon disappears and it becomes velvety, a classic gentleman’s fougère scent of a shaved and suited man. Here, lavender and nutmeg dominate, adding depth and spice. This middle phase lasts longer and fades slowly while vetiver takes precedence, though the lavender never leaves. Inferior to its EDT sister, which is much more complex. Its great achievement is achieving a classic development with few notes and well-defined stages. Its flaws: short longevity and little originality.

  Thank God such things still exist in perfumery. A classic gentleman’s aroma, captivating, giving security and elegance. In my case, the longevity is excessive—easily over 8 hours, I notice it all day. A must-have in my collection and definitely one of my favorites.

  This perfume is delicious, an exquisite aroma with top-quality ingredients. I first tried the 1955 EDT; I loved the opening, then the concentrated version, which I also liked, but this is my favorite. It has the best of both. It’s very pure. According to Chanel, it reinterprets the first men’s fragrance from 1955: a sober but more intense version for an elegant, alert man. It’s a woody fougère, discreet and surprising, with fresh citrus notes that reveal a spiced heart of nutmeg and Madagascar vanilla, sublimating the trail. Fresh, pleasant, and versatile. Very elegant and long-lasting. I wish I were older to wear it as my own; at 31, it feels like a suit two sizes too big, but the time will come.

  Very good perfume. Maybe, to point out a flaw, it lacks a bit in longevity, but it’s very elegant.

  I love it. It starts citrusy, fresh, and sweet without being cloying—sparkling and very clean. Lavanda appears just as the lemon fades. Then it moves into a creamy phase with subtle, spiced, and woody vanilla, plus a wet vetiver, not dry. I don’t see it as classic despite being a fougère; it feels modern and current. Very elegant, perfect for enjoying in my personal bubble (not a flaw—I buy perfumes for myself). The only “but” is longevity, which I notice between 4 and 5 hours. For a fougère, it should last longer, but since it avoids heavy ostentation and walks the citrus line, it makes sense.
