The new perfume from Frederic Malle's collection - Geranium Pour Monsieur is certainly a new alternative for men who are searching for ultra-chic freshness combined of natural essences framed with modern technologies.The story about the latest edition for men begins with this precise ingredient- geranium essence. In cooperation with perfumer Dominique Ropion, the new fragrance was create to incorporate opulent, masculine ingredients around the main theme – geranium. The idea for the clean and pure fragrance with the scent of long-lasting freshness is created of aromas of geranium from China along with rhodinol (fresh, fragrant ingredient extracted from Chinese geranium), mixed with anise and mint. Spices in the composition contribute to elegant, masculine turn (cloves and cinnamon), along with sandalwood and a new sort of white musk, which retains long-lasting fresh and sophisticated effect.What is the most interesting is that the formula contains natural notes strengthened with a new technology. Cinnamon was extracted by CO2 and mint is specifically molecular distilled into mint absolute.

Dominique Ropion had a wish to create a deep and sophisticated trail and to enrich the fragrance with an exotic combination of incense resinoid and Siamese styrax benzoin.Top notes of the composition encompass: mint absolute, peppermint oil, Chinese geranium oil, rhodinol, anethol and floralozone. A heart includes CO2 and cloves oil, while a base is composed of a cocktail of white musk, ambroxan, sandalwood, resinoid incense and Siamese styrax benzoin.
Comme des Garcons by Comme des Garcons is a Chypre fragrance for women and men. Comme des Garcons was launched in 1994. The nose behind this fragrance is Mark Buxton. Top notes are Clove, Cinnamon, Cardamom and Nutmeg; middle notes are Coriander, Rose, Geranium and Cedar; base notes are Honey, Incense, Pepper, French labdanum, Styrax and Sandalwood. This is the first fragrance of Comme des Garçons house. This avant-garde perfume does not fit into classical three-phase perfume structures with top, middle and base notes. It is a combination of exciting smells each of which plays its own individual melody in the composition. Therefore, this fragrance has to be tested on skin, because it is not clear which component of the bottle your skin will 'come to love' most. It is also hard to classify it in accordance with olfactory groups. It is a kind of very spicy chypre with dense resin notes. Comme des Garçons is not aimed especially at women or men. The unisex label does not describe it entirely, as this is a fragrance for a personality. CdG perfume is very distinct, provocative even. It is not sweet; it is spicy fragrance for an interesting person that without a special intent outshines among others. The main components are labdanum, cedar, styrax, galbanum, sandal wood, carnation, hay, black pepper, frankincense, cinnamon, geranium, cardamom, nutmeg, Turkish rose, French honey and coriander.
