You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
The house of Guy Laroche gifted the world with Drakkar in 1972. A masculine fragrance rooted in the fern family. One of the scents from the Drakkar collection. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Drakkar Guy Laroche — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Drakkar evolves as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Guy Laroche is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Wood, Green and Aromatic. The framework further includes Spicy, Whiteflower, Ambery and Earthy / Mossy.
Right at the start you meet sparkling citrus first notes: Bergamot, Juniper, Lavender and Lemon Verbena.
In the central layer you sense Angelica, Basil, Coriander, Jasmine, Pine and Rosemary holding a noble herbal direction.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Floral without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Musc, Wood, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In wear duration High points to a sustained drydown presence.
Overall Drakkar reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail.
