EDT · 1993 · mens

Givenchy's 1993 release, Monsieur 2, arrives as an EDT flanker to the original Monsieur line, positioning itself as a fresher, more contemporary take on the house's masculine identity.

The fragrance opens with a sharp green accord anchored by basil, ivy, and thyme, rounded out by hints of orange blossom and aromatic spice. The heart shifts toward warmth with cardamom and saffron sitting alongside benzoin's vanilla-like sweetness, with marigold and mimosa adding a subtle floral dimension. The base settles into a woody foundation of cedar and sandalwood, grounded by mastic's resinous, slightly anise-like character. The overall composition reads as a green aromatic with distinct spicy-woody edges and enough floral texture to feel sophisticated without veering precious.

This is a well-suited choice for someone seeking a fresh, herbaceous daily wear that doesn't sacrifice depth or masculinity. It works particularly well in warmer months when the green and spice elements feel most welcome. The fragrance aligns with The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Tactician archetypes.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Basil
Basil
Sweet, spicy, and vividly herbal, basil has a green freshness with slightly anise-like and peppery facets that make it more complex than most culinary herbs. In perfumery it adds a lively, Mediterranean quality and pairs beautifully with citrus and woody notes. An underused note that rewards those who seek it out.
Green Notes
Green Notes
Ivy
Ivy
Cool, green, and slightly bitter, ivy leaf has a sharp, watery greenness with a faint woody undertone. It's used in perfumery to add a cold, shadowy greenness to compositions, the scent of an old stone wall covered in climbing plants, simultaneously fresh and ancient.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Thyme
Thyme
Herbal, slightly medicinal, and earthy with a warm, honey-like underpinning that sets it apart from greener herbs like basil. Thyme adds a French countryside quality, rugged but refined. It's used to add character and specificity to herbal-woody compositions that might otherwise feel generic.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Marigold
Marigold
Pungent, earthy, and bitter-green, marigold is one of perfumery's more challenging florals. Unlike romantic rose or sweet jasmine, marigold smells of sun-warmed earth and slightly sharp greenery with a medicinal edge. It adds a grounded, uncommon naturalness to compositions that want to smell genuinely alive.
Mimosa
Mimosa
Powdery, honeyed, and softly floral, mimosa has a warm, golden sweetness that feels like sunshine in a bottle. The yellow puffball flowers of the mimosa tree produce an oil that is simultaneously floral, woody, and slightly animalic. A quintessential note of the French Riviera and romantic Provençal perfumery.
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cedar
Cedar
Mastic Or Lentisque
Mastic Or Lentisque
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
