El Ganso 2019 EDP
Bravo Monsieur
El Ganso Bravo Monsieur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Dorothée Piot. Bravo Monsieur opens with Pomelo, Violet, Cardamom, and Incense, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Iris, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. El Ganso's Bravo Monsieur carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.
Bravo Monsieur is the budget Santal 33 alternative that everyone's talking about. However, for every devotee, there's someone else hit with a pickle jar. While some rave about its luxurious woody warmth and excellent performance, others are put off by a persistent sour note. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's an absolute steal for the price.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.
