Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur

Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur, from 1972, is led by citrus but built on a classic framework of wood, flowers, herbs, leather and a soft sweetness.

Lemon and bergamot give a bright, zesty opening, with lavender adding an aromatic, barbershop freshness that recalls a traditional shave. The heart is drier and spicier: carnation brings a clove-like warmth, while patchouli and leather add a deeper, woody tone. The base rounds it off with vanilla and tonka bean for a soft, balsamic sweetness, while oakmoss adds a damp, slightly bitter forest note.

Most people report moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate trail, with some calling it strong. It is voted mainly for autumn and winter and worn almost equally by day and night. It suits cooler months, the office and formal occasions, for someone who likes a traditional, well-groomed style.
