Géranium pour Monsieur
Géranium pour Monsieur by Frédéric Malle is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2009 in the niche price tier. It opens with mint, anise and peppermint, moves into geranium, clove and cinnamon and dries down to white musk, sandalwood and incense. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
- Anise Sweet, liquorice-like seed. Cool and slightly medicinal.
- Peppermint Icy and sharp. Reads clean but can tip into chewing gum.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
