GUERLAIN HOMME L’EAU

Description

Like a cologne, Guerlain Homme L’Eau’s tonalities are refreshing and luminous, rather than aquatic. The refined, zesty opening offers a bergamot-grapefruit duo. At the heart, you’ll recognize Guerlain Homme’s emblematic accord: mint and geranium. The trail, with its fairly dry woody facets echoes the original scent’s rum note. Perfumer: Thierry Wasser.

History

Two years after the launch of Guerlain Homme, Guerlain revisits its refreshing mojito-accented accord in a more bracing, splash- or cologne-like version. Guerlain Homme L’Eau keeps its predecessor’s rum accord, but the flanker is more citrussy, opening with a bergamot-grapefruit cocktail. Like his elder, the Guerlain Homme L’eau man aims to be ‘at one with nature’ – letting his feline side run wild. On a quest for purity and authenticity, he knows instinctively where to find the ‘eau that will get back to what’s essential’.

Bottle

The original bottle has been reprised. But the metal plaque has disappeared, making way for frosted glass that lets the fragrance’s tart green hue shine through. The bottle’s color and materials reinforce the idea of freshness.
