From your scent profile
Bienaimé Monsieur is a fresh, green men's fragrance that links the bergamot and ginger opening to a dry woody base of cedar and vetiver.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.
How does it perform?
From 25 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind and winter less favoured. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, and the votes read it as masculine and classic.
It opens with citrusy bergamot sharpened by ginger. The heart of vervain, nutmeg and geranium adds a floral, green layer, with the nutmeg bringing a spicy touch. Cedar and vetiver then settle it into a dry, woody finish.
