Ombre Indigo Brother

While applying Monsieur on my skin, it immediatly brought Olfactive Studio Ombre Indigo to my mind. Both have the same main notes: vetiver, incense and a Agarwood profile. This seems to be due the use of cypriol/nargamotha/papyrus, since it's one of the essences used into some oud abstract accords. It's the first nuance that you notice, the sweet incense nargamotha aroma mimicking oud. Soon after it you notice minty and airy incense nuances mixed to woody vetiver smell. The sandal and cedar here are combined in a way that they form a more abstract and woody impression. What i thought that is interesting on this one is that altough it's a fragrance mainly made of basenote essences, it's not linear and also not so dense either. Still, i think it's redundant having it and Ombre Indigo, they seem very much alike for me.

Pierre Guillaume / Monsieur

The second of my favorite perfumes of my colleague Pierre (who at the age of 25 composed his first perfume Coze02 and, in my humble opinion, his best perfume).
And what did the honorable Pierre cook up here? We have a typical lumberjack with a lot of incense and light smoke.
The beginning is a hit of dry and dark incense and green trees (probably poplar). After some time, the smells of cedar wood combined with 2 opposing fragrances (dark patchouli and vetiver) appear. This trio of green notes sounds really special (for some, at some points it may resemble Jovoy fragrances - e.g. Private Label and Incident Diplomatique, although with such a dose of incense and cedar trees and base notes - about which in a moment - these fragrances are not very similar to each other. ).
Base-yum… there is a smoothed tree (probably oak) and oak moss - typically male sound. This fragrance - thanks to the dry incense, the scent of wood and chypre base and the mixture of vetiver-patchouli with cedar in the heart - suits men better, but as you know ... it always suits those who are strongly influenced by it. The perfume lasts around 7 hours on my body. Projection also very good, although it's not a nose killer. I sincerely recommend this woody jet. He reminds me a bit of Bois d'Ascese (Naomi Goodsir) and La Haine (Moth and Rabbit).

The perfect gentlemen

i came across this fragrance through one of my favorite reviewers in YouTube his name is Greggieboy76 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKfTEB-ST8LuDApi1iKKBLQ) , the way he described this scent was a must buy for me..it took me a while to buy it but thank god i did its a jewel.
let me break it down, its spicy but not over the top so creamy from the Sandalwood earthy from the vetiver and patchouli but not dirty at all well balanced and masculinity with class.
the main hero here is the Frankincense( not smokey) mixed with the oakmoss and papyrus gave it depth .
this fragrance is perfect if we are talking about scent profile but it really lacks performance silage is week longevity is a big issue for me you really need to apply again after 3 hours .
conclusion :
if you looking for gentlemen scent good for the office nice for a night out non offending this is the one .
my score is 8/10.

Not oud?

If there's no oud in this it's doing a good imitation of it.
Dark, antiseptic and a bit cheesy, it's also smoky and bitter, and slightly dried-fruity; a pungent woody composition with a slight metallic undertone.
And that makes it classically Masculine, but not stereotyped; it's unlike anything I can think of - except oud.

The Girl with the Scarf

“Sir, Sir!”, called a fragile voice after the noble gentleman, who was maneuvering quickly through the icy winter evening. “You’ve lost something, so please wait.”

It was just before Christmas, and the country was firmly caught in the grip of a grim and painfully long winter. The year 1946 brought the coldest season of the 20th century, exacerbated by a second wave of frost that began in December, even colder than the first. The country bore the scars of the recently ended war, and hope as well as confidence were scarce.
Nevertheless, there were those small, light-filled moments to bring back the long-missed humanity…

The man paused, turned around, and saw a young girl standing before him. The wind whipped relentlessly and soullessly through the streets that evening, and it was hard not to lose one’s bearings amidst the swirling snow.
“I believe this is your scarf,” said the girl in a shivering voice. “Oh yes, how could I have lost it?” the man replied kindly, visibly grateful to the girl for pointing out the loss of his scarf. “The scarf means a lot to me,” he explained to her. “I received it a long time ago as a gift from my daughter. She made it herself!” He looked at the piece of fabric with pride, which was capable of taming the unspeakable cold a little.

It almost seemed as if the meeting of the two was fated. The girl was terribly cold and was struggling to cope with the harsh conditions. So the man handed her back the scarf, saying, “You know, Christmas is coming soon. That’s why I want to give you this scarf, which is so precious to me.”
He bent down to the girl to wrap the cloth around her. Just at that moment, the girl could perceive the scent of the scarf. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly found herself in her thoughts on a beautiful, warm-spiced forest clearing.

There was no trace of the cold anymore! Staying in this clearing, she was surrounded by the soothing, earthy aromas of the soft forest floor. The mighty trees swayed gently in the wind, releasing the scent of the finest woods. The woods were so intense, dark, and pure that they seemed to absorb the climbing and glittering mosses clinging to the tree trunks with their majesty. Above the steaming forest floor, the delicate smoke of the emerging day wafted softly and wistfully. The sunlight reflected a thousand times in the resin of the trees, which dripped like pearls into the lush earth, to enter into a symbiosis with the woody-mossy aromas of the forest for eternity…
Although dark and distinguished, the scent of the scarf conveyed a feeling of safety and security. When she opened her eyes again, she thought to herself: “So this is what a Monsieur smells like.”

With a gentle nod, the noble gentleman bid farewell and disappeared into the cold of the night. The roaring snowflakes sparkled through the light of the street lamps like glittering diamonds, and in the distance, the girl spotted a conical, cedar-like silhouette. It was the fragrant aura of the Monsieur, shimmering greenish-blue and moving along wooden paths, pointing the way to a more hopeful and better future.
The girl was deeply touched by this moment, and in her heart, she became aware:

“We can only change the future if we start in the present…”
