Jean Paul Gaultier Monsieur Eau Du Matin

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Monsieur line has always been about redefining the modern gentleman—playful, confident, and unapologetically stylish. In 2020, the house introduced Monsieur Eau Du Matin, a flanker designed to capture the crisp, invigorating spirit of early morning. Translating to ‘Morning Water,’ this fragrance promises a burst of freshness that awakens the senses, much like the first rays of sunlight. While the original Monsieur (2016) offered a robust, woody-aromatic profile with a hint of sweetness, Eau Du Matin strips back the density, emphasizing citrus and green facets. It arrives in a sleek, transparent bottle adorned with the signature torso silhouette, this time in a pale blue gradient that evokes a clear sky. The concept is simple: a scent for the man who starts his day with purpose and wants his fragrance to mirror that energy. In this review, we’ll dissect the notes, performance, and overall character of Monsieur Eau Du Matin. Is it a worthy addition to the Gaultier wardrobe, or does it pale in comparison to its predecessor? Let’s find out.
