    Real talk

    This is a fragrance that means business. The saffron opening arrives with an immediacy that cuts through, metallic and bright, followed quickly by pink pepper and nutmeg.1965 - L'Essence de Flamboyance
    Monsieur gives you rum warmth worn into fabric and leather, with tangerine brightening just enough that it never gets heavy. The drydown brings suede and vanilla close to the skin.Monsieur
