About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Pour Monsieur from 1955 is a landmark chypre that distills men's elegance into a brisk, aromatic structure. The opening is a sunlit citrus trio: Sicilian lemon and neroli sparkle over the green bite of petitgrain. As it settles, a dry spice accord of cardamom, ginger, coriander, and basil adds a crisp, almost culinary freshness—no sweetness, just clarity.

The base is where this vintage earns its collector status. Oakmoss, vetiver, and cedar form a mossy, earthy foundation that feels tailored and mature. This is not a loud fragrance; it is a quiet assertion of taste. It suits the man who prefers understatement—someone who wears a jacket, not a logo. Ideal for spring and summer daytime, or any occasion where you want to smell composed rather than perfumed. If you appreciate classic chypres like Mitsouko or Aromatics Elixir but want a more masculine, citrus-forward take, Pour Monsieur is essential. A true reference point for the genre.

中文簡介

1955年推出的Chanel Pour Monsieur係男士西普調經典。前調以西西里檸檬、橙花油同苦橙葉帶出明亮柑橘,清新唔甜。中調用小豆蔻、薑、芫荽同羅勒營造乾爽辛香,層次分明。基調嘅橡苔、香根草同雪松散發沉穩苔木氣息,低調而優雅。氣質成熟內斂,適合著重品味嘅男士,春夏白天或正式場合都用得。如果你鍾意經典西普調但想要更男性化、柑橘感重啲嘅選擇,呢支絕對值得收藏。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
