Chanel Pour Monsieur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Henri Robert. Pour Monsieur opens with Lavender, settles into a heart of Lemon and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Vanilla. Chanel's Pour Monsieur carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is Chanel's nod to classic masculinity, a polished barbershop scent that’s equal parts heritage and modern refinement. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, particularly among those loyal to the original EDT, but many find it a sophisticated standout with a creamy, nuanced dry-down.

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.

About

Pour Monsieur EDP opens with a zesty, realistic burst of lemon, quickly joined by the comforting, herbaceous embrace of lavender. As it settles, a warm, fresh spiciness from nutmeg emerges, paving the way for a smooth, woody vetiver base. A subtle vanilla sweetness rounds out the composition, creating a creamy, elegant finish that feels both classic and contemporary. It's an airy yet grounded scent, evolving gracefully on the skin.
