How does the EDT compare to the EDP version?+−
The EDT is the original and lighter interpretation, emphasizing the citrus and herbal opening with a more delicate finish. The EDP adds more concentration and vetiver depth to the base, which some feel adds refinement and others find muddies the clean citrus character the fragrance is known for. Preference depends on whether you want the fresh, airy version or something with more body.
Is Pour Monsieur still worth buying, or has reformulation ruined it?+−
Modern versions are competent and still well-regarded, but veterans note they lack the complexity and longevity of pre-1995 bottles. If you can find a vintage example in good condition, it's worth the investment for the fuller experience. Current bottles are still solid fragrances—just lighter and more fleeting. Manage expectations accordingly.
How long does it actually last on skin?+−
EDT typically lasts 3-6 hours depending on batch year and skin chemistry; older vintages perform notably better. The EDP offers improved longevity. It's not a fragrance you spray once and forget about—it's a refresh-worthy choice for daytime wear rather than an all-day commitment.
Is Pour Monsieur suitable for younger men, or is it strictly for 40+?
