L’Eau du Gouverneur is fresh and elegant, representing a scented cocktail of aromatic, fresh spiced and woody notes. Citrus start of verbena, lemon and bergamot, leads to an aromatic heart, formed out of various spices from all over the world: clary sage, Sumatra nutmeg, Jamaican pepper (allspice), Shri Lanka clove and Madagascar black pepper. The base consists of wooden notes: cedar, vetiver, Tonka and musk. It was launched in 1980.

L'Eau du Gouverneur Fragrance Reviews

For some reason I find the made for men or unisex creations of the house of Comptoir Sud Pacifique *much* better than the blunt and literal feminine perfumes. L'EAU DU GOUVERNEUR is an excellent example and may even be my favorite CSP offering of all (of those I've tried...).

This smooth woody oriental perfume (and I do believe that it is 100% unisex--not a masculine cologne, by any stretch of the imagination) features a variety of very hard-hitting spices, most notably nutmeg and allspice, but they are blended so beautifully that none overwhelms, as so often happens when such spices are used in perfume. The slightly citrus opening is very shortlived, and the composition nearly immediately settles down to a gorgeous, tightly woven tapestry of spices and woods with medium sillage and good longevity.

L'EAU DU GOUVERNEUR (or in my case, GOUVERNEUSE!) is perfect for fall weather and makes me want to stroll down a path strewn with piles of multicolored leaves being jostled about by a cool breeze.

Don't spray too much, you just might pass out from intoxication! I love spices and knew this one would be strong after reading the notes. I bought it on a whim & was very excited to receive the package. The first time I sprayed it, I went a little crazy by over spraying this one. I seriously could not breathe it was so powerful! Go lightly & it will be lovely!!

It's strong, it's demanding! You won't go un-noticed that's for sure! The spices take over immediately. I wore this during a holiday when I cooked for everyone. After a while, I kept getting this wonderfully aromatic yet relaxing smell & wondered where it was coming from.

I finally reached for my wrist where at one deep breath I was taken away to a forest. As I lay on the ground taking in this wonderful aroma of trees, nutmeg, cloves, fresh green-ness & citrus smells all nestling together, I wondered who was brewing this magically delicious potion wafting thru the forest air. I tiptoed thru the forest trying to smell my way to the location where this intoxication was occuring. Now, I smell the sweetness almost tasting it. Alas, I opened my eyes sighing & realizing it was indeed my Comptoir LDG & it gave me a break from my kitchen..a much needed break!

This is like I said very strong! If you like spices or incense, you should like this a lot! And, the lasting power is beyond fantastic. Use sparingly, it only takes a little bit. I really think it's more suitable for a man but a woman who loves her spices or incense can definitely get away with it as it melds into a nice velvety soft scent.

Bought a big bottle on spec. but I'm disappointed. I hoped it would be spicy and woody but it is grassy and leafy with a hint of suntan lotion and lime, and after half an hour I am going to wash it off, as I feel a bit sick. Not a feminine perfume, may work better on a man.

I try this one and find out that it isn't a match for me.I feel that some "spice" notes are disturbing,too masculine for me.I try to layer it with another "fresh" fragrance and it's better.Anyway the quality of this fragrance is good and long lasting...which not good for me though.

Revise...After I try another fragrance with strong spices note(a lot more!)I found that this one is become more charming for me.I decide to give it a try again!
