The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1981 by Annick Goutal, Eau de Monsieur is a Woody Chypre fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with the freshness of citrus and aromatic herbs before settling into a mossy, earthy base that adds a warm, powdery depth. This blend creates a distinct sense of sophistication and understated elegance. Annick Goutal's approach to perfumery is evident here — she sought to capture the essence of everyday moments with her fragrances, making Eau de Monsieur a lasting classic.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced effect. The citrus top notes are prominent initially but fade within an hour, allowing the warm and powdery base notes to shine throughout the day.
