Guerlain L'Homme L'Eau Boisée Guerlain for men

Smell a lot like Encre Noire, but lighter and fresher... To me, this is Encre Noire day version. Lovely smell.

Really like this scent - very different. Apart from the mint and woody notes, I somehow also get patchouli.

Guerlan l'homme l'eau boisee is once again a masterpiece of Guerlain and in-house perfumer master THierry Wasser.Guerlain has made only perfumes bestsellers and masterpieces,this one isnt the contrary. Its fresh its nice perfect combination of ingredients.Really recomended perfume and if you like something more agressive try L'homme PErfume Intense i have it and i love it.

Took this to Fiji and the 30 degree heat over there made this so much more amazing than the dry 24 degree at home in summer.

In high heat and humidity this is an absolute stunner. The heat keeps the lime around for longer.

surprisingly 7 hrs later this is still going pretty strong! For a good portion of the dry down Im getting a minty vetiver....the opening is pretty special also with the Lime.....working with a sample right now and am happy with its projection/longevity but the jury still out on the scent itself, dont get me wrong this is quality juice....just not sure its for me

Also I did 5 sprays - 1 each arm , 1 base of neck ,1 back of neck 1 on shirt

this was from one of those 5 ml plastic atomizers with the beasty sprayers...

if this has the same sprayer as guerlain l'eau then i probably sprayed 10 times :)

It is a remarkable achievement for Guerlain who have created several classy men's cologne's. I considered Vetiver a MASTERPIECE, right up with it now is L'Eau Boiseé Pour Homme.
When I first sprayed it on my skin, there is a rush of lime/woodsy aroma mixed with vetiver that gives it depth. After a while I'm able to smell just a hint of mint with a good base of musk which brings it together to make it an excellent masculine cologne.
What I really enjoy is the citrus green notes which gives it a clean aroma. The woodsy,earthy and spicy notes give it longevity well over 7 hours.
I can say that this cologne stands out from a lot of the other main stream products. I love wearing L'Eau Boiseé during the spring/summer time. I give this cologne two thumbs up...10/10.

Gurelain L homme leau boisee very softly fresh around year high quality scent and more better then most niche scents it deserve 10/10

Just got this and love it! subtle, classy, gentle and in the same class as one of my favorites, Eau Sauvage. Ideal for our long hot summer.

I truly like the opening and is for me ultra classy from start till the base drops...
Its guerlinade and i was getting a bottle for cheap.
For me its delicate salty lime very grassy and very very sophisticated as we know of in Guerlain.

I have one problem with L'Eau Boisée and that is the way its converts into massive vetiver which is heavy for the ladies who dislike vetivers.

Its almost if i wear Guerlain Vetiver after an half hour and thats too bad, because if i want to smell like Guerlain's Vetiver i just put on Guerlain Vetiver :-)

So 5 stars for the first 30 minutes.
3.5 for later stage.

i dont get any similarities between L'homme L'eau boisee with Terre d'hermes

L'eau boisee is kinda very limey and definitely strong in lime,otherwise Terre d'hermes has kind of unique scent like bitter and dirty orange,lol

For me it has a lot of similarities with Terre d'Hermes its like Terre with a woody touch,i love terre so this one isnt excluded,really nice perfume

Une merveille ce parfum !!!

Been wearing this for three months now and I have a little more to say about this one now.

I love it the most around 5 hours in, when the vetiver smells more complex and the heart emanates. However, nobody can really smell it as at this stage as it becomes so faint - even with 3 or so sprays on my neck and wrist.

The first sprays, when you douse quite a bit on for it to last or be obvious for a decent length of time, can be too strong on the lime and the non dried down vetiver. This sharpness, I can tell, turns people off.

I find this cologne has a great heart, and an amazing spicy wood smell, however, its longevity and sillage is quite poor that it affects the potential of this fragrance.

While I personally love it myself, the fact it can only be worn during very hot weather and its strength is weak, I may not buy it again.

Woody aspect of the original Homme and original Leau is boosted in this version, result is bitter woody and utterly masculine, the bitterness somehow reminds Hermes Terre d'Hermes.
This is not for kids.
Longevity and projection are impressive as well.

L'Eau Boisée is an improvement on the original Homme, with the cheap mojito vibe having had the alcohol removed. The result is a simple,light and usable fragrance that opens with a pleasing lime note and concludes with a balanced wood and vetiver drydown. None of the Guerlain Homme variants are world beaters, but L'Eau Boisée is top of its own little pile.

Rating: 2/5 Average

...replaced the original Homme for its flanker: I like this one better! It's still about lime but in a more transparent and vibrant way. It is a kind of distinguished 'Terre on lime'.

Amazing. I adore it for hot days and warm nights. Plenty of compliments, including ladies who find it so amazing they can't stop smelling it (and putting it on themselves).

I personally like woody fragrances and find the usual summer citrus-aquatics to be a bit boring. This is extremely masculine and not too woody that it lacks a heart. A perfect match for my Issey Miyake Intense that I wear in the winter time.

What I like the most about this fragrance is the lime and rum notes that mingles with the underlying wood notes. It really is congruous with summer, a tan and warmth.

My only problem with this cologne is that it takes a few sprays for it to last at least 6 hours or so of nice silage. And the first hour of those few sprays can be a bit sharp, especially of the vetiver (someone has even told me it was too strong). However, this settles down to the most amazing heart, which emanates warmth during warmth.

It did take a bit to fall in love with it, but I certainly have.

per i miei gusti - ha una NOTA DI TESTA non piacevole -
un NOTA DI CUORE E DI FONDO pressoché identici - adoro i profumi Guerlain ma questo decisamente NO.....

بوی طبیعی لیمو میده
مثل بقیه محصولات گرلین از کیفیت ساخت بالایی برخورداره
یکم شبیه بولگاری من هست البته بولگاری خنکتر و تلختر از اینه
یه عطر عالی واسه استفاده روزانه تو تابستون

Limes. No a lime grove. I mean a lime harvest. With a field of Morrocan mint.

If ever a perfume were a demonstration of the dry down as journey then this is it. And this my friends is a luxurious Mediterranean cruise not a sweaty commute to the office on a packed cattle truck.

After the exhilarating citrus prelude, the core: a full, nostalgic yet perhaps slightly green Vetiver - think a mown meadow towards the end of summer - settles into place. As the sun rises, the trees, alive and felled, warm and their woody notes - pleasant in the background rustling like leaves in the breeze - form a second string to Boisee's bow.

A distinguished addition to any scent selection, particularly for those of a Vetiver persuasion. Some say to save for a summer's day but I feel a little sunlight can add cheer to a winter's afternoon too.

Strong and fantastic. This is what I want.

This one is really like of EAU SAUVAGE by DIOR..That is all nothing extra ordinary but citrus. Last for two hours. Not bad i should say..wanna try the L'EAU next time.

Just got the L'EAU, different character from his younger brother,
Both of them did a great job. I wanna try/buy the L'HOMME next time.

Just tried this today, and I think I've found the balance I was looking for when I got Terre d'Hermes. Perhaps its the lime over the orange but I'm enjoying its progression and the gentle vetiver earthiness and the even more gentle smokiness. Feels relaxed, there to be enjoyed rather than slapping you, or others, about the head and nose. I'm always on the lookout for scents that can work in summer but have the breadth to work at other times - given that I live in a place where Summer lasts for three days - and this one fits the bill. Lovely.

Please all of you don't smell it the first time it's being sprayed to your body or paper, because it's very misleading. I did smell it for the first time and it smelled like eucalyptus oil (it's awful since I hate eucalyptus oil). Then 10 minutes passed and the unique 'boisee' started to emerge. And my friends began to compliment me wearing this perfume. Love it for sure!

Wasser took the best of the Guerlain Homme line, the opening, amazing scent of the invigorating lime.
Coupled this with a touch of green veneer, which is the grass and a outstanding vetiver at the base, appears the same vetiver used in Terre D´Hermés. If you are a vetiver lover like me, must buy!

If you like Vetiver then this one really hits the mark!.(similar to Creed Vetiver).Have had a lot comments from this one specially from woman.Definately a summer fragrance, a perfect scent for day or evening wear..A must try for Vetiver Fans!


Longevity..5 to 7 hrs

Sillage..4hrs

I Fell in love with Guerlain's Vetiver. So when I had the chance to buy Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee even without testing it, I snapped it up.
Unfortunately, it smells like Nestle's green tea powder mix upon application. On my skin it smells like green tea-citrus-woodsy. Given time, the fragrance settles into a primarily vetiver scent with nice grassy overtones. The drydown is musky, On my skin it lasts about 5 to 6 hours.
Overall I'd give it 7 out of 10. It would have been higher were it not for the green-tea-powder association for me.

i love it

I love this scent. it opens as a spicy and woody, and relaxes into an elegant grassy smell. Another person quoted this as "salty-lime". i totally agree with that. there is a certain presence of salt and citrus together.

it lasts a good while (for example, i sprayed some on my clothes yesterday, and it is still present this morning).

anyway, this is a great experience!

Great perfume for summer, when temperatures are so high that you can't breath.. just 2, 3 sprays of this miracle and i'm in heaven, happy like a little child :) longevity about 7, 8 hours and sillage is very good.. this is my acqua di gio :)

on paper smell very very nice
after half hour smells like deodrent on my skin
the dry down is f..k bad i think the mint
make bad
just try it on the skin only for half houre see the difference

Very good scent! Also reminds me Terre d'Hermes, but much better in the summer! My only problem is that this scent is a bit short lasting. After a few hours it's away.

I think this scent is very unisex and at the same time very sexy. I can say: Attractive if a "well-balanced" man/woman wears it.

A perfect choice if you wears Terre d'Hermes in the winter, and you want something in the summer!

Uniqueness: 7/10
Erotica: 9/10
How i like it: 9/10

(((If you want a niche scent, what's bit stronger and drier but nearly the same, try Montale: Red Vetiver.)))

Perfect, splendid.
Although the opening is leafy citric and green the following step is on flawless linear vetiver grassy composition, powdery and dry, much better than the two prior versions.
Going through it deeply you get a potent and pleasant fresh grasses smell like when you smell them in a morning walk in a meadow; but from a distance, what you get is vibrant vetiver woody play that probably fills your olfactory but the others definitely catch it clearly as I applied it on my wrist only one spray and it's filled the room I work in.
On my skin, I feel carrying a masterpiece that gives me a perfect mood whenever I sniff it. Really, if you want to go in woody grassy fragrances, start your check list with this one.
I rate it 10/10.

Smells nice, I like it a lot.

L'Eau Boisée starts with a burst of tasty lime which then slowly dims into the background, making room for a transparent clay/pepper/vetiver/herbs accord.

Not entirely unlike Terre d'Hermes to my nose, but TdH is less herbal and its citric is aspect riper, smoother, sweeter.

Intensity/projection and longevity of L'Eau Boisée are moderate at best (still perceivable after four hours, but only close to the skin).

Update:
I liked it enough to buy a bottle the next day. It should make for a nice summer scent.

✮✮✩✩✩
To my nose this fragrance is just a bit too soapy, it doesn't have the elegance most of the Guerlain EDTs have. A picy, cause the marketing strategy and the first impression when I tested it were great. Not my cup of tea.

I emailed Guerlain regarding this fragrance and was informed that it will NOT be released in the US. Here is their email reply:

"Dear Sir,

To my nose , it opens up with lime,salty lime ,which is associating for me as being @ sea beach drinking lime juice.
Several minutes later the mint and rum accords join in for continuous dance with the salty-lime vibe.
Its gorgeous.
After half an hour the vetiver (which probably is the cause of the salty vibe accord to begin with) is more prominent - very compelling , very easy to wear.
Love it.

Tried this today, it reminds me of one of the Hermessences or perhaps one of the lighter Un Jardin series by Hermes, it's extremely light, transparent, green and fresh. I think I'll probably end up buying it because it will be a good summer spritz. Like one of the lighter Hermes perfumes but with even better ingredients.

Can't comment on sillage or longevity.

L'Eau Boisee is what the regular Guerlain Homme had to be from its first appearance. They added in the original minty lime formula a handful of pepper from MJ Bang and earthy woodiness of Terre d'Hermes. So in the dry down we get a dryer version of Terre d'Hermes, or something similar to last year's masterpiece David Beckham Homme, but with a mochito background. Surely this one is the best Guerlain release by Thierry Wasser. The longevity is brilliant.
