The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Homme L'Eau Boisée by Guerlain, launched in 2012 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, is a Woody Chypre fragrance that reimagines the classic masculine cologne. Vetiver serves as the backbone of this composition, bringing a refreshing quality to the blend while creating an illusion of a noble chypre. The vetiver is well-behaved yet subtly smoky, making it a fresh and unexpected spin on Guerlain's iconic L'Homme.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the vetiver and its smoky undertones are well-balanced. This fragrance blooms gradually, so it's best to let it settle for about 15 minutes before heading out.
