Chanel Pour Monsieur

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on sicilian lemon, petitgrain and neroli, moves through cardamom, ginger and coriander, and settles on oakmoss, vetiver and cedar.

• petitgrain: the twigs and leaves of the orange tree: green, bitter and woody, where neroli is the flower and orange the fruit
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
