What does Geranium pour Monsieur smell like?

Chinese geranium and the cool edge of mint and peppermint set the tone from the start; cinnamon and clove add warmth, while sandalwood and frankincense lay a woody base underneath. Fresh, green and woody accords lead, with a slightly synthetic sheen alongside.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office get the most votes. It is mostly seen as masculine and classic, though some also find it modern. Heeley Menthe Fraîche and Electimuss Silvanus have a close profile.
