Eau de Guerlain

Top Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Basil, Petitgrain, Caraway
Middle Notes: Rose, Jasmin, Patchouli, Carnation, Sandalwood
Base Notes: Amber, Moss, Musk


It begins with an enjoyable ZESTY lemon and citrus. The basil spices it up a little and the moss moves this scent to almost an Acqua di Parma forest floor meeting Dior Eau Sauvage territory. Good mix! It ends off with a nice musk. This should be considered up there with the best citrus fragrances though I still prefer Eau Sauvage very slightly.

Eau de Guerlain is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional eau de cologne with some added caraway in the opening. The middle is somewhat confusing with a menthol-carnation accord, but the base is a superb blend of musk, amber, and moss. This is by far one of the muskiest bases I have experienced. The musk lasts overnight even though the rest of the scent is gone. Big thumbs up!
