Eau de Cologne du 68 Guerlain for women and men

This is simply a luxurious and classy unisex cologne!
Just like its luxuriously classy perfume house!
Love it!

It is very Guerlain. It reminds me of many Guerlain perfumes, - mainly L'Instant (both for men and for women). For me iris and vanilla notes are the most intensive, and it also makes cologne du 68 similar to Dior Homme. Perfect for everyday use, suitable for men and women. It needs cool weather do develop right. The longevity is reasonable for cologne concentration, it stays quite close to the skin, but a small spray after 4-5 hours after the first one will revive the aroma.

Elegant and classy.

There is a LOT going on in Cologne du 68. It's like a spicy-anisic-woody-vanilla-floral-citrus kinda concoction, that dries down within a few hours to a pleasant, rich vanilla and amber base. I really don't care what's in it anymore, because it just smells plain good and lasts a decent amount of time. It's mainly a tonka-vanilla fragrance, but very light and not overly sweet at all. Also totally unisex, beyond gender.

Good stuff. I'll have to try it again sometime.

I am looking for a cologne so tried this: it is NOTHING like a cologne. It is not fresh, not green and not citrusy. However, the smell is not unpleasant but it reminds me of wood polish, the kind of old fashioned wax used to polish antique furniture... So in a way, I am getting the "luxury" from this smell, but not the cologne!

I usually don't like when there are so many ingredients... results can be bad. But this one isn't. It's a nice fragrance, with a masculine note in the opening but then it becomes unisex. The smell is quite sweet, fruity-green, even woody although I can't see wood added. Not my beloved fragrance, but a nice one.

tested it today...hmmm...very "le nouveau riches"

God this is a classic example of pretenious and snobby perfumary. I imagine there are a lot of perfume snobs (you know who you are)who wear this but dont actually like and wear it just for its exclusivity.
I purchased this when i was on my initial perfume adventure as i was intrigued by the list of notes. Its like the olfactory version of those restaurants where its all very classy and the list of things in your dinner run into paragraphs yet know one seems to be enjoying themselves. This has 68 different notes but unfortunately no heart or indeed soul.

very powdery and quite strong but a sweet smell all the same.maybe it was the cold i was having but i did have a slight headache wearing this all day.dont intend making it a favourite anytime soon.once in a while,yes and that's it.it does stay on the skin all the day I must admit

At first I get spice, floral, and powder then the sweetness (honey and amber) smooths the blend beautifully. It progresses to a soft light sweet floral then it rests with the amber honey and a touch of powder.

I don't get woods, I don't get herbs/green, it ends out being almost gourmand on me! It's quite lovely but it ends out too sweet on me.

Simply the most beautiful soft oriental fragrance I've found. I've read it is perfect for any occasion and I'd have to agree, this could be worn in any situation and you wouldn't offend only make people want to give you a hug! Definitely unisex, on DH it is more spices and woods, on me more citrus, floral & powdery woods. Good sillage and long lasting, what's not to love about this gem?

This cologne is designed to wear on its own, NOT like Jason declares... .
For any decent information, please contact Maison Guerlain!

i dont think its citrus its oriental also beatiful

I'm reading this Blog (re: Cologne Du 68) and I see how you're all wrong! This cologne was made to 'illustrate' 68 different products/scents! Designed to make wear quick. DESIGNED to be a base for other Guerlain products!

Cologne Du 68 comes in a massive 'splash' bottle,(A shampoo-like bottle), so one might 'splash', and to spray other scents' on top. Notice if you 'splash' Du 68 and then add/'spray' Du Coque or Imperial. Fantastic, no!?

Furthermore, add Derby as a base to anything and there you have your own fragrance. Brilliant, really.

Any other questions you might want to ask, don't hesitate to ask.

Hmm, I find this one very boring. No lasting power at all and no special effect.

As It Dries Down On My Skin, It Smells Like Dior Homme Which Is A Plus Because Thats My Favorite. It Contains 68 Notes, Hence The Name :)

Cologne du 68 is a very pleasant outdoorsy kind of scent. It makes you feel relaxed, calm and peaceful. Perfect for everyday use.

It's a warm, very rich and quite particular fragrance, completely different from 'usual commercials'.

It is a unisex, maybe rather masculine, but pretty enough for women. It smells very nice, I cannot recognise notes, just remember some citrus in the beginning and a feeling that it is a very well-balanced fragrance.
