Guerlain Homme (2008)
by Guerlain

Guerlain Homme by Guerlain - In the refreshing opening, one is immediately treated to a sublime, mojito cocktail, with its quasi-bitter lime, bewitching rum and herbal mint leaf. This invigorating brew flows to the waiting middle. Here, in the heart, a clean and fresh green tea, along with a tart and leafy rhubarb, as well as a semi-sweet bergamot subsumes the boozy mix, while a captivating pelargonium imparts its muted, flowery geranium aspects. The subdued melange meanders to the awaiting base. Taintless vetiver, with its chaste dirt and grassiness, coupled with a rich and dry cedar, along with a bitter-sweet lime as well as a hint of sweetness usurp the humbled melange, and commence its inviting drydown. This uneventful composition, albeit it possesses quality ingredients, is not nuanced enough to make it stand out in its genre. A spring and summer scent, it has average projection and longevity.

An ice-fresh citrus-mint fragrance darkened by rum and finished off with limes that is meant to evoke -- the mojito! This is an ideal summer scent -- fresh/ young/ playful yet elegant!

The sleek stream-lined bottle, designed by Pininfarina, obviously helps in its appeal.

Watered down version of Viktor&Rolf - Antidote to my nose!
The opening and dry down are exactly the same, but antidote is stronger with better balance of notes and also better scent.
Only base note is a bit different.
I prefer antidote here.

Guerlain Homme starts of with a very prominent lemon note being followed by a combination of salty notes wheres after a couple minutes fades a little bit leaving space for the star of this fragrance: mojito, and so this fragrance goes until the end.

A fragrance that does not offend anybody but isn't that much pleasant as well, in my opinion. Very different from the usual Guerlain fragrances which I adore.

Very nice, the mojito accord is really there, it's refreshing and classy. Great for hot weather however I use it all year round. When it's colder outside it pops out when your body heats up.

My girlfriend says it's asexual, so I guess it's more refreshing than seductive.

Light, crisp minty notes calm down into a nice woody (yet clean) vetiver. Great on a warm day. On my purchase list.
