Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pour Monsieur Concentree opens with a brisk, refreshing pop of mandarin and petitgrain, quickly mellowing into a heart of warm, piquant spices like cardamom and nutmeg. The journey culminates in a rich, enveloping dry-down where earthy vetiver and oakmoss meet the creamy sweetness of vanilla and opoponax, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma that's both fresh and deeply resonant.
