What does Pour Monsieur (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it neither fills a room nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter the least chosen. It leans towards office and daily wear, and works for evenings too. It reads masculine and classic.

The opening is citrusy and green. Cardamom and nutmeg add spice in the heart, while vetiver, opoponax and vanilla bring light sweetness and a powdery softness underneath. Oakmoss carries the chypre character to the end. Acqua di Portofino and Caron Le 3ᵉ Homme have a close profile.
