Private Collection: L'Eau Guerriere Eau de Toilette

L'eau Guerriere (??warrior water??) is a full frontal assault on shy little wimpy perfumes with no character. Guerriere is full-on woody, blatantly sexy (musk) and unapologetically rich and resinous (olibanum). But it never gets mired down in heavy... ozonic notes and the crunchy, dry notes of cinchona bark lend a fresh and modern feel to the fragrance and tame its wild nature. The combination is almost like a fresh incense, and while that's a bit of an oxymoron, we think it suits this fantastic elixir to a T.
