Geranium Pour Monsieur by Frederic Malle

For: men Designer: Frederic Malle Olfactive Group:
Inspiration for a new edition by Frederic Malle originates from work on soap Anterenea, which reminds of old and luxurious soaps from his childhood. While he was creating the formula, his attention was attracted by geranium essence, which contributes to pure and sophisticated olfactive experience. The new perfume from Frederic Malle's collection - Geranium Pour Monsieur is certainly a new alternative for men who are searching for ultra-chic freshness combined of natural essences framed with modern technologies.

The story about the latest edition for men begins with this precise ingredient- geranium essence. In cooperation with perfumer Dominique Ropion, the new fragrance was create to incorporate opulent, masculine ingredients around the main theme – geranium. The idea for the clean and pure fragrance with the scent of long-lasting freshness is created of aromas of geranium from China along with rhodinol (fresh, fragrant ingredient extracted from Chinese geranium), mixed with anise and mint. Spices in the composition contribute to elegant, masculine turn (cloves and cinnamon), along with sandalwood and a new sort of white musk, which retains long-lasting fresh and sophisticated effect.

What is the most interesting is that the formula contains natural notes strengthened with a new technology. Cinnamon was extracted by CO2 and mint is specifically molecular distilled into mint absolute. Geranium Pour Monsieur is a fragrance of the new age which combines natural ingredients with time of digital era. Dominique Ropion had a wish to create a deep and sophisticated trail and to enrich the fragrance with an exotic combination of incense resinoid and Siamese styrax benzoin.

Top notes of the composition encompass: mint absolute, peppermint oil, Chinese geranium oil, rhodinol, anethol and floralozone. A heart includes CO2 and cloves oil, while a base is composed of a cocktail of white musk, ambroxan, sandalwood, resinoid incense and Siamese styrax benzoin. Geranium Pour Monsieur is a new fragrance and it was introduced in 2009.

I went to Barneys at Beverly Hills to take a sniff of FM Geranium Pour Monsieur. It smelt nice but it reminded me of a cologne I bought about 3 years ago. It's called Frank Los Angeles the first scent version (they had Frank #2 and #3). Frank has more sillage/staying power, but the notes are "siblings" of FM's Geranium. Based on on-line reviews, I was really revved up to buy but decided not to when realized the similarity, or almost exact sameness. Originality was my main reason when I first thought of purchasing Geranium...I guess that's not gonna happen. Frank Los Angeles stays longer. I believe I bought it for $65 (65ml bottle) back then.

It doesn't sound too promising, does it?
Someone was hinting at a perfumers meeting here last week, that Chinese geranium is a bit suspect as opposed to traditional sorts such as Egyptian, etc - this is a pity as I particularly like the geranium scent. The Chinese variety apparently flooded the market, but may not be the most interesting.
Also, the fragrance features the fashionable 'white musk', in common with similar descriptions of white cedar, white moss, and I even saw white vetiver. All means is the pure white crystals of synthetic musk which contrast with the inherent colour in the natural materials. Such chemicals go into washing powders etc by the ton. I don't know why that's so attractive.
Still the proof of the fragrance is in the smelling so I will report back to this forum when I've obtained some.
