Our take
What does Guerlain Homme smell like?
Guerlain Homme came out in 2008. Thierry Wasser composed it at Firmenich with Sylvaine Delacourte, the same year he became Guerlain's in-house perfumer. The starting point was a mojito, and you can tell from the very first second. Lime stings, mint brings an almost icy freshness and a rum note adds a slightly sweet roundness. The heart is more unusual. Geranium lends a rosy, faintly metallic side and green tea a watery transparency. Rhubarb plays spoiler with its green, juicy sourness. The base stays light. Vetiver and cedar form a dry woody seat that smells clean without turning soapy. Next to the aquatic masculines of its day, it feels more playful and inventive. Several databases list it as discontinued, but no reliable source confirms it.
When to wear it
Summer and spring, for daytime, the office or holidays. Four sprays, as the freshness fades within a few hours.
It belongs to the Citrus, Aromatic family. Guerlain Homme is one of 99 creations by Guerlain in our encyclopedia.
