What does Eau de Monsieur (1980) smell like?

It reads fresh and citrusy, with green and spicy touches layered over it. Oakmoss, sandalwood and amber give the whole scent a woody, resinous and slightly earthy depth, and the chypre character stays dominant throughout.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, followed by summer and spring. It suits daily wear and the office best, and some voters also choose it for evenings.
