Pierre Guillaume Paris Monsieur is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Pierre Guillaume. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Monsieur carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a grown-up, serious take on a woody-incense blend. While comparisons to Encre Noire are common, Monsieur offers a smoother, higher-quality finish that makes it worth the niche price tag for those seeking refined masculinity.

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.

When To Wear

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

With moderate sillage and a refined woody-incense profile, Monsieur is perfectly suited for formal events and evening wear, where its elegance can shine without overpowering. It's also appropriate for office wear or a date, projecting confidence and sophistication, but it's too weighty for sport or overly casual settings.

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

  • 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

Monsieur opens with a dry, almost arid cedar, quickly joined by an earthy vetiver that provides lift and intrigue. As it settles, the smooth, papery quality of papyrus emerges, blending seamlessly with the dark, resonant tones of patchouli and the mystical haze of incense. A foundation of rich oakmoss and creamy sandalwood provides a sophisticated, lasting depth, evoking ancient forests and hallowed spaces.
