Ladies and Gentlemen!
Here's to you
Guerlain "Coriolan", EDT pour Homme (1998)
Probably the most underrated fragrance in Perfumes History
Launched in 1998, discontinued in 2001, due to very poor sales.
"You smell so elegant!" - "Yes, it's Coriolan!"
Guerlain's biggest mistake was to launch a '80 fragrance at the end of '90.
Completely out of its time.
But it's a rare gem, the bottle itself is a pillar of Modern Design.
Every detail in this bottle is elegant, and the scent is still a masterpiece of "elegance".
Re-issued in 2007 limited edition with slight differences, under the name "L'Ame d'un Hero" (at very high price).
Every perfume lover SHOULD grab a bottle of the original juice, its still quite easy to find, and not expensive.
