Guerlain Homme L'Eau

This is a really lovely scent. It is a complementary flanker to Guerlain Homme. Alas, both of these wonderful perfumes have been discontinued. The original was a woody aromatic whereas the L'eau is a citrus aromatic. It is supposedly the original but without the vetiver and mojito in order to create a sharper version than the very smooth original. I think there's still a little vetiver in Homme L'Eau but it is certainly crisper than the original. L'Eau projects quite moderately but it lasts for a long time. I get about 11 hours on my skin. I'm delighted that I kept an eye out for this one. I've always liked the Pininfarina bottle and the colour of the juice is a very pleasing shade of blue. I suspect that it will be the only bottle of it I ever have due to its discontinuation some years ago. Fortunately the Homme L'Eau Boisee is quite similar, if perhaps not quite as good, so at least I have a fall back option that is acceptable. This is the best lime and mint combination I have come across by a country mile. The drydown speaks of vetiver or certainly some earthy, woody grass of some kind. I know it's not in the notes but I don't believe them in this respect. L'eau certainly achieves it's aim of being a cooler, fresher version of Homme. The geranium wafts in and out gently and helps add to the green element. Altogether it makes for a refreshing and lovely natural perfume. I have Homme, Homme L'Eau and Homme L'Eau Boisee and I think it is worth having them all. I might get the Homme Intense at some point too. It's exceptionally rare that it's worth getting at least three of the same line but that's Guerlain at their best.

Homme L'Eau is a great hot-weather scent. It opens with an invigorating, fresh citrus combination in which the grapefruit and bergamot is most apparent. As the opening settles, it takes on a light, understated composition marked by mint and geranium and perhaps a very clean musk or light woods. Though the citrus aspect settles, it never really disappears and plays a central role throughout the life of the scent. This is a comfortable and versatile summer fragrance. I wear it to work, on dates, and even to the gym. Homme L'Eau is at no points sharp, markedly synthetic, or cheap-smelling. Overall, it is a very smooth scent which never becomes heavy or over-bearing in any way, and actually responds quite appropriately to changes in body temperature. It's a scent that you will believe has disappeared, but will return later on in the day and will be noticed by those around you even when you can not detect it. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fresh summer fragrance that is not typical of the mainstream market. Appropriate Projection/Solid Longevity 9/10 BTW, if you own Guerlain Homme, you can buy Homme L'Eau, as they are different enough to warrant separate purchases.

Reading some of the comments here I will appeal to anyone interested in this to give it a try and not be swayed by those who are moaning about this not lasting on them. This fragrance simply PROJECTS and LASTS for a freaking long time.the fault is not in the fragrance but with the skins of those who claim this lasts at most 2hrs on them.Are they sure they are using a genuine juice?Am i just lucky or what but I get 10hrs plus in sweltering heat wearing this. This is meant to be a lighter version of Guerlain Homme but to be quite honest I dont get much difference except this is more cooling.the mint,grapefruit and lime which are prominent in both remain the same for me.U will have a headache when you overspray though-that's a fact,so take it easy on the trigger but definitely a nice summer/spring scent worthy of a try. I dont find it to go through much changes though.it dries down to some sweetness with the citruses still hanging around .this is one good fragrance that in an ironic way am glad it doesnt get the respect/aclaim it deserves.In that case only a few of us get to enjoy it

A summer guerlain masterpeice imo. very elegant and refreshing without smelling like the the ordianary typical fresh scents that you find on the fragrance counters all the time. It is Guerlain after all and they know how to make a very good scent. This has a very fresh opening, with the mint, grapefruit, lime and rum, dries down to a woody cedar base with a feint citrus as the citrus never leaves but keeps getting lighter. There is nothing synthetic smelling about this scent infact smells very luxurious. This lasts between 4-6 hours and becomes a skin scent after that which is good enough for me. Projection for the scent is good enough you will get a small bubble around you for the first 2-3 hours. i suggest 4-5 sprays with this do spray one onto the clothes that will help keep the top notes for longer. I own the original which is an amazing scent for spring but i wear it year round. This will be my summer fragrance. i have smelt alot of summer scents but it is guerlain homme leu which i keep thinking of and it is expensive but you get what you pay for with guerlain. 8.5/10

I got a bottle of this amazing juice from eBay about a month ago. I had the entire line of L'Homme collection except for this one and I was debating whether I should get it for the price it was being sold on eBay. Finally, I decided to purchase it and paid just over 200 $ for 80ml bottle. I know it's a lot of money for that fragrance, but let me tell you what IT IS WORTH IT! I have a large collection of about 160 fragrances and Aventus Cologne and this one being my favorites and go to for the summer season! I am glad I got it and I am planning to get a back up bottle even at this price point. This is how much I enjoy this gem. It is quite similar to L'eau Boisee, however, it's more bright, brisk and uplifting! I can't believe it's got discontinued! If, for some reason, you ever come across that juice on discounters, get it while you can IT IS AMAZING IN ITS SIMPLICITY!
