Yesterday: A*Men

 

[Thomas]

Today: Caron Yatagan for a chilly morning. Also channeling Robert De Niro in Heat with the grey suit/white shirt/no tie combo, so Yatagan works on that front as well.

Okay, you've twisted my arm. I think I'll join you today in Mouchoir-isme. Edit: I only went half-way. Jicky on the left, Mouchoir on the right.

I am only doing this so I can burn through my sample and return the empty.

How is Guerlain's Mouchoir de Monsieur?

I like it. Based on a few tries with a sample, I just bought a bottle.

It has a nice mix of a bright lemony opening with a heavy animalic/civet stink/poopy undertone. It then shifts into whatever finish is at the end of Habit Rouge Legere (perhaps that is the famous Guerlinade but all I can do is note the commonality).

Is it for office/day wear or nighttime?

Not obvious to me one way or the other.

We've talked about Mouchoir before via PM, so I'm assuming you are looking for other opinions, but unfortunately there may not be too many on the forum who've tried Mouchoir. It's rather hard to find, sadly, even though it's one of Guerlain's best (I think). It's pretty versatile and you could wear it either one, but overall I find it more of a daywear scent, given that it doesn't have some of the "darker" heavier notes that typify evening scents like amber, lots of patchouli, tonka, vanilla, etc. Nevertheless, it's not really so "fresh" that you couldn't wear it at night, but overall I tend to wear it to work during the day more than I would at night. For a "night" Guerlain, I'd pick something like L'instant Pour Homme extreme (eau de parfum).
