When Annick Goutal launched Eau De Monsieur in 2013, it offered a multilayered complex scent with citrus, spicy and green accords. The top notes contain a pleasant blend of mandarin and bergamot, enhanced by the sharp freshness of mint.

Next, the heart blooms with rose-like, lemony geranium, and base notes of patchouli and sandalwood give it solid support, staying power, and a hint of the exotic.

The result is a timeless and sophisticated cologne with a modern edge, hinted at by simple yet elegant packaging of its clear glass square bottle and the gold and silver label.
