A huge "Lemon bomb" initially, then turns into a more complex, masculine 'dry-down' with other notes. I love it.
Even the bottle is 'understated elegance!'

it is a great office scent after it calms down for about 10 minutes or so...always a compliment....just so clean and it is masculine to me with the dry down. you cannot go wrong , it will cheer you up. the bottle is classic..and it is reasonable right now on ebay...don't let it get away...

AT firts, not right year of production,real year of production is 1964.2, yes this is happy and very funny lemon scent.Yes hi's great for summer time, for winter, no way!Really old school, too far from perfume in this modern time, but for people who is the citrus maniacs, real choise.Perfume is very strong and nice, very similarly like Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme, perhaps little bit stronger, and YVS PH is more modern but this.YVS PH(1971), PB MB(1‚964).Ha.Carbon-copy,so, so, meaby not, meaby?!

I purchased this thanks to Fragrantica reviews that I read. It is described as a scent I would absolutely enjoy and the reviewers on here were correct. The lemon scent is excellent. This cologne is so good. It is now one of my favorites. Thank you to my fellow Fragrantica reviewers!!!

I like a lot but the most I like is a certain smoky vetiver at the dry-down.
Must have!

Monsieur Balmain is simple and speaks right through its bottle:

Sunny, happy lemons.

Thankfully, the lemon note isn't too bitter or acidic. Still, if you hate lemons, stay away from this guy.

Anyway, this is by far the best lemon-centric cologne on the market along with YSL Pour Homme. Smells just right and lasts for hours - how a citrus scent SHOULD be.

This one lasts 16 hours on my skin. Believe it or not. Great lemony fragrance. Better than D&G Masculine.

Monsieur Balmain starts with REALLY sharp and loud lemons, almost like detergent, but quickly calms down and starts behaving like a more complex aromatic creation. Then you really start to detect the other notes listed, for example creamy ginger. My opinion is that this definitely is a citrus fragrance equally as good as Eau Sauvage, Armani pour homme etc. It stays fresh all the time and you are sure to get noticed, if you wear this. It is not a generic perfume, and it is a very beautiful summer fragrance.

Sleazy lemons with a touch of fresh manly sweat (not the nasty two-day smell without a shower sweat note but the fresh, recent one ). It's daring, bold and warm. Muscled citrus happily splashing in patchouly.
Never before such a twist on citrus had been done and I'm afraid never again will be ...Superb!

I agree this is one of the BEST citrus fragrances, it´s lemony but the combination of vetiver, musk and pepper makes it really elegant and unique. Highly recomended.

This is one of the best citrus fragrances out there - the citrus stays and turns into a musky, woody lemony vetiver - very fresh - very good! as someone commented, it's much better than D&G Masculine - If you like fresh, citrus woody fragances - this is the one - it lingers for quite a while too! A sparkling summer fragrance. This is class!

when you apply it, it reeks of freshly peeled lemon and then it goes into this transformation and you get dirty-spicy- fougere-citrusy scent

this is so fresh and full of sunshine, fresh and warm at the same time like eau sauvage which is also supposed to be a men's fragrance. Both are delicious in the summer

Peppery ginger, bright clear citrus. Very lovely and yes, I'm a woman and can wear it. It reminded me very much of Eau de Reglisse in the peppery citrus feeling. Definitely a great summer scent. Downside is that it faded very fast.

This is a really excellent citrus fragrance. It can best be described as a dirty lemon scent - like a huge lemon note blended in with a bit of Kouros. The initial top note is PURE LEMON, you can almost taste it! After about five minutes, a woody note starts to sneak in, and then a sweaty, almost dirty smell (civet?) mixes in with the lemon and wood. It makes what could have been a kind of boring plain citrus cologne into a red-blooded, sexy scent. Not as good as Eau Sauvage, but still one of the better citrus fragrances for men out there.

I was wearing it in one of my teen summers spent at the seaside and I would agree that it is at least unisex.

The short definition for it 'a citrus aromatic one' is very true, but the citrus layer is not light here, it is very thick, bright, intensive like citrus honey with spicies.

Luca Turin has called this scent "one of the best citrus scents of all the times" and does recommend it.

I don´t think this is a men´s fragrance, to me it´s unisex! It´s a very nice, fresh citrus-scent, a wake-up call with warm woody undernotes - just perfekt!
