Frédéric Malle Monsieur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Bruno Jovanovic. Monsieur opens with Rum and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Amber, Cedar, Patchouli, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Frédéric Malle's Monsieur carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Monsieur is a powerhouse patchouli bomb - rugged, refined, and unapologetically masculine. It's a divisive beast, challenging in its opening but rewarding those after a deep, dark, and sophisticated scent. Not for the faint of heart, it's a 'love it or hate it' affair that commands attention.

About

Monsieur opens with a surprising splash of boozy rum and bright tangerine, a fleeting prelude before the main event. It quickly plunges into a dense, earthy patchouli heart, woven with smoky incense and robust cedar, giving it a dark, almost medicinal character. As it settles, warm amber and a soft suede emerge, rounded out by a hint of vanilla and a clean musk, creating a rich, profound, and deeply masculine dry down.
