Guerlain – Rosa Verde – A Chic Summer Garden Party
I make a point of keeping up to date with the Aqua Allegoria (AA) launches. Guerlain doesn't make it easy, though. There's been plenty of new fragrances and collections coming off the production line in recent years from the famed French house. I find it challenging to keep pace, not to mention confusing. In 2022, … Continue reading Guerlain – Rosa Verde – A Chic Summer Garden Party
Reviews – Guerlain – Habit Rouge
Guerlain - Habit Rouge EDT - All Time Classic 10/10. So, the word is on the grapevine that Guerlain is coming up with a new flanker for their classic, Habit Rouge. L'Instinct is the name, and it features a green heart, including a cannabis note. The initial impressions I've read haven't been overly complimentary. But … Continue reading Reviews – Guerlain – Habit Rouge
Reviews: Guerlain Tonka Imperiale
Guerlain - Tonka Imperiale - Enjoyable but something's lacking 7/10 High-end expensive scents are always placed under the microscope and scrutinised more than their cheaper counterparts. I guess it's only fair. We want bang for our buck. Longevity, projection, and originality are all prime factors in deciding whether a perfume is worthy of a place … Continue reading Reviews: Guerlain Tonka Imperiale
First Impressions – Guerlain
Guerlain - Patchouli Ardent - Patchouli is the theme of Guerlain's latest scent to join the Les Absolus D'Orient line. This line has been up and down for me. I enjoyed Cuir Intense and Musc Noble but thought the much-hyped Santal Royal was grating and rough and a huge disappointment. I'm pleased to report Patchouli Ardent … Continue reading First Impressions – Guerlain
Wishlist 2.0 for 2020
We are two-thirds of the way through a rather turbulent year, and for obvious reasons, it's been a little challenging to get into stores and sample everything I've wanted to test. For that reason, my sample wishlist is never-ending. Though, I could probably say that in any given year. I looked back at my post … Continue reading Wishlist 2.0 for 2020
Citrus with a Twist
Wearing citrus colognes in the warm weather is common practice, but they can become quite boring, often sharing the same note structure and vanishing from skin within minutes. In today's blog post I'll outline a few of my favourite colognes ..... with a twist. Unique scents, that are not your average, every day citrus refreshers. … Continue reading Citrus with a Twist
Reviews – Guerlain For Summer
With the warm weather currently dominating in the Southern Hemisphere I thought I'd review 3 of my favourite Guerlain's I reach for when the temperature rises. Guerlain Homme EdT - Mojito in a perfume bottle 7.5/10 A wonderful uplifting fresh boozy scent from Guerlain. Mojito, mint, bergamot, vetiver, rum and lime make for a rather … Continue reading Reviews – Guerlain For Summer
Reviews – Guerlain, Serge Lutens, Byredo
Guerlain - L'Instant Pour Homme - A modern day classic from Guerlain 9/10 The lemon burst at the top of L'Instant Pour Homme Edt may lull one into thinking this may be another anonymous citrus. However, the magic of this Guerlain masterpiece becomes evident half an hour into development, as the lavender, sandalwood, patchouli and … Continue reading Reviews – Guerlain, Serge Lutens, Byredo
