Monsieur de Givenchy, created by Francis Fabron in 1959, is a classic spicy citrus cologne for men. Spice and citrus lead equally, with green, woody, floral and aromatic facets in support.
It opens with lemon, pepper, carnation and cinnamon, a bright, zesty citrus burst warmed by a clove-like floral spice and a cosy cinnamon touch. The heart is herbal and fresh, with lemon verbena giving a lemony, green brightness and lavender a clean, aromatic, barbershop note. The base is a classic of its era: sandalwood adds a creamy woodiness, musk a soft finish and oakmoss a green, damp chypre depth.
The profile suggests a refined scent for spring and summer days, the office, smart occasions and formal daytime events. It suits someone who appreciates vintage gentleman's colognes with a spicy twist, a polished and elegant signature from the golden age of French perfumery.
