Scent Type #1: Citrus/Green

Géranium pour Monsieur

"Stay away from straight-up lemon, which can suggest furniture polish. Instead, try Géranium pour Monsieur, created by the excellent perfumer Dominique Ropion for Frédéric Malle. The geranium essence is boosted by mint, giving the impression of citrus without the cleaning-product hit, plus a green that's less lawn-mower clippings and more tender young grapevine."

50 ml, $135
