Pour Monsieur (for men)

gerco

One off Chanel's finest ! absolutely !

I think this one smells like pure luxury without being showy or offensive, ever. Wearing this, you're sending out the message of pure class.

The opening, in which i identify a faint touch of florals has the quality of not being either gothic floral, as in Ungaro III, nor fleshy, carnal, impudent as in 1881 Amber. The driedown; a wide range of perfectly matched chypre notes.

This one must be THE exaltation of the finest and least offensive, at the same time most multilayered herbal and woody touches, especially during the driedown.

While being elegant and a bit opulent - oh yes gentleman- this scent works with opposite sex, but it's not just the strictly physical attraction, probably induced by some timid beginning of edible notes -

( but way less edible, sweet and androgynous as today's horrind metrosexual girly boy stenches )

- combined with a grassy, energtic, fully masculine yet never brutish, still very decent subtext.

I would rate that, while the ladies would first think of bedding and devouring its wearer, they would later also percieve an intellectual and deeper affinity with its lucky waerer, which would not erase, but only magnify and compensate more the initial attraction.

That dfoes however not imply that this scent is overtly sexual, animalic, not even that much of a playboy scent- still i guess it is very likely to seduce. Because all its quality are implicit and never need to show off, therefore suitable for the man that is so self-assured that he can display his charm discreetly and marginally and it still goes without saying that he is the undisputed, yet never too obvious leader both in social and in personal life.

It's actually a true basic scent and
while it will spark passions, it makes and overall good, serious and decent impression of maturity and style.

Whatever the occasions to wear it might be - either on a business meeting or the most formal and glasmorous ball among the richest of the super-rich or the most conservative of the last aristocrats, the wearer can never go wrong, as it priojects solid, ultra manly yet ultra gentlemanly values, a true self awareness and self-esteem doubled by gracious yet never false, prudish or submissive modesty, an access to the highest spheres in life yet appering ass the most natural thing in the world, designed for perfection yet never intimidating trough it.

Pour Monsieur would get from me non discutable 9 /10

In my top 5 & always a bottle in my wardrobe, definitely !

But guys: Please DO NOT buy it, stick to the watered down aqua's, please
So that it remains a hidden treasure, for only those who know to find.....
