Bourjois Masculin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1972. Masculin opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Geranium and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Bourjois's Masculin carries a Favourite verdict, a leather-led wear.

A lost treasure from the past, Bourjois Masculin is sorely missed by those who remember its sophisticated, classic aroma. It's often compared to some of the greats, so if you ever find a bottle, snap it up.

About

Masculin opens with a bright spark of bergamot and lemon, quickly spiced up with coriander and a clean lavender. The heart introduces a floral elegance with carnation and geranium, adding a subtle peppery warmth. This evolves into a rich, complex base of earthy oakmoss, smooth leather, and a deep, sensual musk, rounded out by a hint of tonka bean for a dry, smoked vanilla effect.
