Guerlain Homme Eau de Parfum (2016): A Mojito‑Fresh Woody Aromatic

Guerlain Homme Eau de Parfum, launched in 2016 and reformulated by perfumer Thierry Wasser, revives the original 2009 vision. Framed around a unique “mojito accord” of lime, mint, and rum, it evolves into a crisp floral-woody signature with elegance and freshness

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Lime, Peppermint, Rum
  Bright, zesty opening reminiscent of a classic mojito invigorating and clean

• Heart Notes: Green Floral Accord
  A soft, green-floral transition often likened to neroli or jasmine, though generally a bespoke "floral accord"

• Base Notes: Vetiver, Cedar, Patchouli
  Clean and woody dry-down with herbal depth, echoing Guerlain’s iconic Vetiver DNA

Performance

• Longevity: 4–8 hours on skin, longer on clothing (6+ with strong base)

• Projection: Moderate–strong initially (2–4 ft) before settling close

• Sillage: Crisp and refined present without overpowering

Community Thoughts
