“WOW” Guerlain (pronounced guer-lay) is one of the oldest houses, with strong and classic aromas. This time I was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t resist; I needed to have it and bought it. The opening is very fresh and citrusy (lemon, vetiver, and grass) and the wood gives it an elegant and refined touch. It’s not a ‘heavy’ wood; on the contrary, it’s perfect. It doesn’t smell sweet. Nowadays, there are few fragrances that serve for casual, semi-formal, and formal use all at once. What do you think? This is no exception! Any scenario is ideal. Very versatile. As for usage? Temperate climates (the citrus and grass notes refresh) and cold weather (due to the wood) both work, and being Guerlain, the quality is guaranteed. For those over 25. Longevity and projection are good, average for me; don’t expect anything monstrous or weak. The bottle is 80 ml/2.7 oz and I was surprised it didn’t reach 3.4 oz/100 ml. It’s not an original fragrance, I agree, but it’s not that generic either. The only requirement is to be well-dressed (a suit isn’t necessary, though the idea isn’t bad).
WOW! Guerlain (pronounced guer-lan) is a historic house with powerful, classic scents. This fragrance surprised me so much that I bought it on the spot. The opening is fresh and citrusy (lemon, vetiver, grass) with an elegant woody touch, nothing heavy or sweet. It’s one of the few that works for casual, semi-formal, and formal occasions all at once. Versatile for temperate or cold climates. Guaranteed brand quality. For those over 25. Average longevity and projection, neither monstrous nor weak. The 80ml bottle seemed small to me. It’s not original but neither is it generic. It requires good dressing, not necessarily a suit, but certainly elegance.
Greetings, I just bought it and must say it’s very good; you can quickly tell it’s from an old house, it smells refined. Please excuse me for the generic mentions of 212, Aqua di Gio, One Million, and Perry Ellis 360; these far surpass them. The opening is fresh and the heart notes are very soft woods. It has good fixative properties; it lasts about 7 hours on me (I’m hard to fixate) and has a good trail. I recommend it widely.
Love at first touch! I adore it. It has a dry, slightly bitter base that faintly reminds me of my beloved Habit Rouge Dry. It’s not sweet, gourmand, vulgar, or aggressive; it goes against the current trend in men’s perfumery. ‘L’eau boisée’ means Woody Water, a name perfectly suited for this originality. For me, a new masterpiece from Guerlain.
Oooooh! Total love at first sight. I really love it; it has a dry, slightly bitter base that reminds me of my beloved Habit Rouge Dry. It’s not sweet, nor gourmand, nor vulgar or aggressive; it goes against the grain of what is currently used in men’s perfumes. By the way, L’eau boisée means ‘Woody Water’, an apt name for this original fragrance. For me: a new masterpiece from Guerlain.
Greetings, little Drake, that’s what friends are for, to advise each other.
A total gem. A perfect balance between delicious citrus notes evolving into green and woody tones with a vetiver base. While vetiver is usually my weak point if it’s too dark, here it blends so well that it becomes exquisite. It conveys a naturalness and class that are rare nowadays. It’s classic and timeless, ideal for spring-summer, though perhaps not for the younger crowd (just kidding). The trail is discreet; in cold and rainy weather it’s even less noticeable, whereas in summer it would shine more. Lasts about 6-7 hours, soft but sufficient. Very good!
Another jewel in the perfume world today: the blend of fresh grass, lime, and vetiver is brutal. It’s a green and woody explosion that everyone recognises and that rivals any masterpiece. The trail is moderate but noticeable for the first three hours; then it fades a bit, although it still lingers on clothes until four hours and catches the nose the next day. Ideal for hot days. My bottle has a wooden cap and believe me, the scent stays there for days and days; swapping the plastic for wood was the best decision. Recommended 100%, all previous reviews hit the mark with this pearl.
Excellent scent that highlights masculinity, achieved through woods, verdant notes (mint, herbs, and citrus), and a very noticeable vetiver. It’s a good composition, not entirely innovative but classic; however, the notes and structure make it fresh, masculine, and sexy. It definitely turns heads. I don’t feel it’s youthful; the perfect range is between 28 and 45 years old, requiring confidence and well-formed personality. Upon smelling it, I imagine a tall, muscular, educated, elegant, and powerful man. I agree that wearing it well-dressed, in a suit, is perfect. Phases: opening with lemons and mint; middle with woods and fresh herbs; dry down with earthy woods and a hint of geranium. I sought out this fragrance based on the reviews and tested it against Guerlain Homme in the perfumery. In my opinion, L’Eau Boisée is the better option for personality and appeal, feeling like an improved and more recognisable version. The advantage of Guerlain Homme is that, being lighter, herbal, and fresher, it feels more youthful and relaxed. This fragrance shouldn’t be missing from any collection. Its notes are classic, but the proposal feels new and attractive. Note: The cap caused me some conflict; there is a version with a transparent cap and another with wood. I thought they were different editions, but they are the same perfume. Swapping the plastic cap for wood accentuates the concept more.
If it’s not the best from Guerlain, it’s certainly among the finest. Instant love at first sniff! A sensational fragrance deserving of every possible compliment. I tested it on blotter paper and the scent is wonderful, almost magical. Now I need to try it on my skin to see if its evolution and longevity live up to the hype. For now, I’ll try to grab it when I have a quid in my pocket and then we’ll see how it goes. But I reiterate: it is sensational. I’d give it a 4.5/5.
Simply a sensational perfume. Very well balanced with delicious citrus notes that turn green and woody, with a vetiver base. I don’t usually like vetiver when it’s dark or earthy, but here it is so well blended that it results in something exquisite. All of this with a rare sensation: naturalness and class. It is classic and timeless, perhaps better for spring-summer and less for the young. Naaa, that’s a joke. Perhaps it is that the trail is quite discreet. Anyway, keep in mind that I tested it in cold and rainy weather; it will surely perform better in that regard during summer. Longevity is good (6-7 hours) with a very soft trail, perhaps too soft. Very good!!!
Bought this fragrance yesterday based on the glowing reviews from my colleagues on Fragrantica. It doesn’t disappoint, although I was expecting a bit more; it’s a solid offering from this house. The opening is citrusy and fresh, featuring green lemon and a subtle vetiver, but then it takes a different path. In the heart, it bears a strong resemblance to Cartier’s Declaration Essence due to the shared vetiver, geranium, and musk; here, the geranium dominates with very subtle woody undertones. After two hours, the musk emerges with light rum notes, becoming very intimate, almost skin-close. I liked it, but if I’m looking for this specific vibe, Cartier’s might be better for longevity and projection. It lasted 5-6 hours on my skin, fading to skin-close in the final stages. I wear it for daily office use.
It’s a dry woody scent with freshness. Very good and masculine, highlighting vetiver, mint, lime, and rum. I won’t add much to the excellent reviews already posted, other than noting that it follows the style of Terre d’Hermès at a more accessible price point. I wouldn’t recommend owning both, as they are of the same style but with different aromas, unless you’re collecting. The salesperson mentioned that this and L’Homme would be discontinued this year; I’m not sure how reliable that information is.
If it’s not the best of Guerlain, it’s certainly among the best. Love at first sniff! A sensational fragrance with every possible compliment. Tested on blotter, it’s wonderful, even magical. Now I’ll test it on skin to see its evolution and longevity. For now, I’ll buy it if I have the money. Reaffirmed: it’s sensational! I’d give it 4.5/5.
It reminds me a lot of Guerlain Homme, but I find it less ‘sugary’ and more herbal-woody. I’m currently smelling both and they are similar, not identical, but very close. In my case, I prefer Guerlain Homme, unlike what others say; for me, it has excellent longevity of 7–8 hours. Both seem youthful to me; I don’t feel that L’Eau Boisée is a fragrance for an older gentleman, nothing like that. On the other hand, when I smell Guerlain Vetiver, I think of an older man.
The blend of lime, grass, mint and vetiver is excellent. On my first use, I could clearly distinguish those notes, either because my nose isn’t refined enough or because the blend is superb. It’s masculine and very fresh, ideal for spring/summer. I was surprised by its performance: I expected 5–6 hours and weak sillage, but it lasted a long time (I tested it yesterday at 19:30 and at 15:00 the next day there were still faint traces on my wrist). I’ll conduct further tests to give a final score and decide whether to add it to my collection, but for now it far surpasses the first impression. 7.5/10.
A revitalised vetiver with mint, rum and geranium. It’s pristine, clean and very elegant, reminding me of the Bel Ami dry-down by Hermès. A must-have for collectors.
A good fragrance, fresh, citrusy and softly woody. For me, it’s better than Guerlain Homme, although they resemble each other in the dry-down. L’Eau Boisée has a superior citrus, grass and mint opening; then it turns woody yet remains soft, without losing the lime note. Sillage is moderate-to-low and longevity is moderate. Ideal for spring and summer, daytime wear. My rating: 6.
A good fragrance, fresh, citrusy, and softly woody. Better than Guerlain Homme, although they resemble each other in the intermediate phase. L’Eau Boisée has a better opening: citrus, grass, and mint. Then it becomes woody, soft, without losing the lime note. Moderate-to-low trail and medium longevity. Ideal for spring, summer, and daytime. My rating: 6.
L’Eau Boisée is a Guerlain twist featuring vetiver, rum and grass. It’s more modern than the house’s legendary Vetiver, yet retains that timeless quality. It opens very fresh with lime, mint and grass, luminous and sparkling. The geranium gives way to the woods with vetiver taking centre stage, balanced without overpowering anything. The rum adds the perfect sweetness to keep the vetiver soft and fresh, with a musky touch that makes it fascinating and original. It’s not earthy or smoky, but fresh and freshly cut. Excellent quality and great for daytime wear. Longevity is good, though it could use a bit more sillage to be outstanding. From the L’Homme collection, in my opinion it’s the best flanker. Rating: 7.
Similar to the classic Guerlain Vetiver but less sharp. Here, the vetiver dominates, yet it’s not the typical ‘mature lawyer’ or ‘Godinez’ style. It’s softer, drier and features excellent woods, very masculine. If you like vetiver, you’ll love this for its extra sparkle and natural freshness. The opening is powerful and spectacular, but it mellows quickly into a close, delicious scent. Not for those seeking sweet, radioactive perfumes. Although vetiver is often old-school, this fits perfectly from age 30 onwards. A proper gentleman’s fragrance! Delicious on rainy days, making you feel dry and cosy yet fresh, like a wooden cabin in the forest. It’s pricey in department stores (100-120 dollars in Mexico), but I found it for 50 dollars with a wooden cap at a little shop in the centre of Guadalajara, a collectible gem. I love it; it’s one of my favourites.
An extraordinary and high-quality fragrance, as expected from this brand. It’s the closest thing I’ve smelled to Terre d’Hermès, another gem that fascinates me. It’s fresh, refined, woody and highlights the vetiver, which I adore just as much as in Carven. Highly recommended if you like this style. I got it at a good price and its longevity and sillage far exceed the norm.
Lovely. Citrus opening with a very green, grassy and minty vibe. In the mid-notes, vetiver, wood and a touch of sweet rum emerge. It’s different, cheerful at first and serious later. Perfect for spring and summer, daytime wear. Moderate longevity and sillage.
I would define it in three words: green herbs, woods, and Jean-Claude Ellena. I know it was created by Thierry Wasser, but on smelling it, I thought of Ellena’s perfumes for Hermès, especially the Jardins line. It is rich, fresh, green, classy, elegant and high quality in these synthetic times. Everything else has already been said.
Green, woody and serious. It opens with lime, mint and grass, making it radiant and summery. Then vetiver and woods come in, giving it a relaxed and formal air without being boring. The dry down is vetiver and wood, very serious. Ideal for men aged 25+, perfect for spring and autumn, or summer evenings. Fresh enough for winter too. Highly recommended.
It has been described perfectly in every sense. If you’re looking for a green and contemporary perfume, it’s an excellent option. I’ve liked it very much. It’s not too original, but it has great class and is totally masculine in the old-fashioned way. Something to be appreciated in a recent launch. It’s classic, but it’s noticeable that it’s a modern creation and no one will think you wore a perfume kept for twenty years. I see it as more suitable for discreet boys, from thirty years old, with a certain conservative inclination towards scents. Longevity and trail are moderate. 8/10
You need masculinity and class to wear this gem. Yes, it is citrusy, but more natural than Chanel Allure Blanche or Dior Homme Cologne; yes, it carries vetiver, but it’s not as adult as Guerlain Vetiver. It has monstrous longevity (my Batchcode 4N01 is superior to any fragrance I’ve owned, even Aqva Amara). I’ve heard they changed the bottle, but I don’t know if it was reformulated. I hope they don’t dare.
The first ten seconds are medicinal, like consultation alcohol. Then it smells like something old stored for 50 years; the lime and mint are faint in the distance, the vetiver is confused and unconvincing. I prefer the vetiver in Encre Noire. After an hour, when it turns woody with a newspaper paper scent, is when I become interested. The vetiver stabilises and is more pleasant than in that awful start. I wouldn’t recommend it for under 40s. Even I, at that age, find it too potent or vintage during the first hour.
The first ten seconds seem medicinal to me, recalling the alcohol of practitioners or their consultations. Immediately afterwards, it smells like something old kept in a cupboard for fifty years while the lime and mint greet from afar and the vetiver wanders confused and muddled, failing to convince me. I like Guerlain’s Encre Noire Vetiver more. When it settles after an hour is when I’m really interested, as it becomes woody and hints at a slight newspaper smell. The vetiver stabilises, becoming less confused and more pleasant than in its nefarious beginning. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under forty. Even I, at that age, find it too ‘potent’ or vintage in that first hour.
If you tried the classic Polo Green, your nose would drop; perhaps you’d think it was what the first humans on the planet used.
I love this ‘woody water’. It has class. It begins with a round, deep lime, with just the right acidity and a very natural feel. After ten minutes, a slightly alcoholic tone appears, just a brushstroke. The green is dark, reminiscent of freshly cut grass, a bit bitter, thanks to the lime and vetiver. The freshness comes from the lime and a hint of mint. The dry-down recalls ‘Terre’: woody, green vetiver, more youthful and less earthy than the classic. It has a soapy touch and feels less mature. Sometimes Guerlain is very prudent. I find it beautiful, but I’m annoyed by its low volume and poor projection. Too discreet.
I love this ‘woody water’. It has class. The opening is a round, deep lime, with just the right amount of acidity, very natural and realistic. At ten minutes, the aldehyde tone is most evident, which in any case is just a brushstroke. The green tone seems dark to me, and with imagination it reminds me of freshly cut grass, a bit bitter, I don’t know if from the lime or the vetiver, but far from being fresh: the freshness comes from the lime and a slight mint that nuances it. The final dry-down also reminds me of ‘Terre’: that woody but green vetiver, more jovial and less dark and earthy than the classic ‘Vetiver’ from Guerlain. Soapy. Less ‘mature’. Guerlain perfumes sometimes go overboard with prudence. I find this composition beautiful, but it annoys me with its low volume and poor projection. Too discreet.
It’s a distant relative and much sportier than Terre. The Hermès version carries pepper and orange which give it an acute tone to the wood liniments, making it acidic and outrageously reddish; I think the link is the combination of vetiver with citrus, and here it’s citrusy vetiver with geranium and freshly split wood. It’s not for me due to the quantity of aromatic notes and an excessively green, tender vetiver, but I note something elegant in it. The lime with the wood is very refreshing without losing the classic essence, between talcy in a magnesium-climbing style and crisp, with finesse. Like an after-sun lotion and one of those children’s candies from the nineties, Escalofríos, powdery and gaseous texture that dissolves in the mouth. It has that tone of a living body breaking into effervescent pieces. It can also remind one of aromatised gin or after-sun lotion Ecran. I like it more when it dries down than at the start, when it reminds me of a Zara cologne from this summer, Waimea, but this freshly germinated vetiver and I are at each other’s throats. Over time, I realised I tolerate it more when it’s dry, brittle, and smells like soap. With all this, I found it interesting.
Like a distant, sportier relative of Terre. The Hermès has pepper and orange giving it a sharp, wood-cleaning tone, acidic and reddish; the link here is vetiver with citrus, geranium, and freshly split wood. It’s not for me due to an excess of aromatic notes and a vetiver that is too green and tender, but it has something elegant. The lime with the wood is very refreshing without losing the classic essence: talc-like as magnesium for climbing, crisp and fine. It reminds me of after-sun lotion and those effervescent candies from the nineties that dissolved on the tongue, or an aromatic gin. I like it drier than at first, when it smelled like a Zara summer cologne. The freshly germinated vetiver fights me, but I tolerate it when it’s dry, brittle, and soapy. Interesting.
It smells rich, like a cross between Guerlain Vetiver and Guerlain Homme. It’s vetiver and mojito. The pity is that on my skin it doesn’t last at all and I barely perceive it. We’ll see if it improves in summer.
It smells nice, nothing to add. It comes out hyper-alcoholic, which I don’t like. There’s a citrus note, then green, woody, and vetiver. Aside from that strong opening, it becomes very refreshing… but it doesn’t last at all. Its performance is extremely discreet. With this, it will never be my choice.
Guerlain Homme L’Eau Boisée is one of the purest and most unique fragrances I’ve heard of. It brings me peace and relaxation. The scent is so pure I can almost smell every note: vetiver, rich lime, woods, mint, incredible geranium, grass, and rum… what a composition. Guerlain is another world; they speak another language of perfumery. It’s pure essence with rich ingredients. I’m not a fan of Guerlain in general as some don’t appeal to me, but the ones I’ve tried have captivated me. The longevity and trail are astonishing, and the sense of well-being is incomparable. I’m smitten.
I absolutely love it; it smells like a clean, comforting man. It makes me feel happy and smells divinely. Inside the bottle, it’s a fresh, aromatic forest. If I find it again, I’ll buy it again without hesitation.
