Guerlain Homme Eau de Parfum (2016)
Peppermint, rum, and lime arrive together in a combination that shouldn't work but does — cool mint and hot rum alongside the sharp citrus of lime, suggesting a mojito before it goes anywhere else.

By the editors · 2 min readPeppermint, rum, and lime arrive together in a combination that shouldn't work but does — cool mint and hot rum alongside the sharp citrus of lime, suggesting a mojito before it goes anywhere else. There is no listed heart note, which is entirely visible in how the fragrance wears: the opening dissolves relatively quickly into the base. Vetiver, cedar, and patchouli form a dry, earthy, slightly smoky base that is the opposite of the minty-boozy top — the structural contrast is the entire point. A Guerlain exercise in discontinuity: two registers that don't transition so much as exchange.
