We’re no stranger to lavender-centric Fougère perfumes, and despite familiarity with the style, they continue to be an endless source of excitement and promise. Bon Monsieur begins and ends with a supreme quality lavender absolute. The ingredient belongs to the mint and sage family, which explains its affinity for salubrious herbal notes. It is richly nuanced with camphoraceous overtones and calls to mind green, floral, and woody impressions, too. It’s all straightforward from here, and Bon Monsieur both lifts and deepens its central lavender note. Up top, bergamot and rose geranium spark a clean ‘barbershop’ association, trailing through a floral weave of spicy carnation and sharp green lily of the valley until it lands on a woody, mossy, and musky ground. The complete work is gutsy albeit refined, sumptuous and confident. It is true to its simple, unfussy name – and effortlessly proves its eternal style.
