Chamade
Chamade by Guerlain is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette in the premium price tier. It opens with bergamot and black pepper, moves into hyacinth, violet leaf and nutmeg and dries down to vetiver and leather. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
