Pour Monsieur Chanel, a timeless classic. Having become the embodiment of luxury and beauty, the Chanel house needs no introduction. Mademoiselle revolutionized the world of fashion and beauty.
Pour Monsieur by Chanel is a great classic of masculine perfumery. It is, in fact, the very first perfume created by Gabrielle Chanel. While the designer devoted most of her existence to enhancing women, she decided to also accessorize the new masculine coquetry in the mid-1950s. Since then, Pour Monsieur has ranked as a timeless classic of perfumery. Always elegant and distinguished, it does not lack character, which comes through in a fresh, spicy, and woody breath. Note also that Pour Monsieur has had two successive bottles. Let us decode these two containers together.
The first bottle of Pour Monsieur by Chanel
Initially, Pour Monsieur by Chanel came in a square bottle, true to the minimalism of the Chanel house. Indeed, in all her creations, Gabrielle Chanel made sure to keep only the essential. Here, the lines are pure and the shapes are clean. If the square was chosen, it was above all to symbolize strength and charisma. Pour Monsieur thus revealed itself in heavy, imposing glass, a guarantee of its full virility. Its edges were nonetheless softened by a few curves, as if to give it a certain gentleness. Thus, Pour Monsieur displayed a perfect coherence between its visual and its scent, intended for a man who is strong yet subtle and sensitive. Echoing its freshness, a light green color filled its fragrance, standing as the perfect testimony to all its energy. Finally, an opaque, cylindrical black cap topped off the whole. It thus played on contrasts, opposing opacity to transparency, black to clarity, the round shape to the square stature. This was a perfect demonstration of all masculine duality.
The new bottle of Pour Monsieur
This original container has now disappeared in favor of a more contemporary case, common to all Chanel eaux de toilette. More specifically, Pour Monsieur comes in a rectangular bottle, stretching upward. Its base strongly recalls that of its predecessor. It is still a thick glass rectangle, holding within it a green-colored fragrance. The names Chanel and Pour Monsieur stand out from the whole in white lettering. The real novelty of this bottle lies rather in its cap. It is attached to its base by a shimmering silver band that was previously entirely absent. Likewise, the cylindrical shape of its cap has completely disappeared. It is now in perfect continuity with its base, also adopting a cubic shape. The opaque black softens and becomes gray. The harmony is thus enhanced. The bottle of Pour Monsieur still displays a certain duality, but it becomes softer and even more subtle than before. Pour Monsieur by Chanel comes in spray bottles of 50 or 100 ml.
