1. Pour Monsieur by Chanel

Delicate and dashing in so many ways, it has been wowing wearers since the 1950s. An absolute gold standard in men’s chypre scents, it opens beautifully with neroli and light citruses before developing into a smooth and warming concoction of spices.

If your dad fancies himself as a bit of a dapper gent, then treat his senses to this ground-breaking formula that bursts open with robust, uplifting citrus notes before drying down into an elegant earthiness that exudes class, confidence, and charisma. An excellent echo of the past that we’re sure dad will treasure!
