Fragrance Review: Guerlain Homme

Brandon Crittle — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:31:21 +0000

One thing I can never have enough of is cologne. I’m sure by some of the previous post you can tell. For the sophisticated gentleman, I’m more than happy to inform you about one of the most unique male fragrances out there now: Geurlain Homme.

Guerlain Homme

I was very happy to receive the Guerlain Homme gift set as a birthday present. You may know Guerlain for their skincare, makeup and signature fragrances including Guerlain My Insolence. I’m most positive that the pleasant Guerlain Homme fragrance will give the brand even more recognition.

The fragrance itself is a very masculine. Guerlain has a sweet , almost surprising smell that is most addictive. After the Guerlain fragrance immediately settles, it really ignites the senses. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this particular fragrance. Guerlain most certainly delivered.

Guerlain Homme contains notes Cedarwood, Green Tea, Mint and Sugarcane.

About the gift set:

The Guerlain Homme Spray(80 ml 2.7 FL Oz) and Guerlain Homme Hair and Body Wash( 75ml 2.7 FL oz) are kept inside a brown travel bag. The brown travel bag has embossed logo tag, leather strap and buttoned pocket flap on the right side.

Where you can purchase the Guerlain Homme :

Get a head start on your holiday shopping this year with some sensible and stylish hats and caps by Block Headwear. Ciomi McCabe, the Cuban-bred designer of Block Headwear, launched the brand in 2000. It’s certainly been a blessing for the hardworking hat business. Actors Joslin Gigandet(Twilight) and veteran Will Smith have rocked Block Headwear on occasion.

Block Headwear is inspired by the days of original hat making, when hats was just molded around the wood itself- which were used to give the hat a ideal shape.

Brenton/Block Headwear
