Drakkar Noir
Eau de Toiletteshipping from 537 kr
If there were a scent of conquest and exploration, Drakkar noir by Guy Laroche would be a water that perfectly embodies the civilized Viking man.
Between raw power and refined delicacy, the fragrance offers a subtle masculinity, obviously anchored by intense woody notes. Cedar and vetiver are present, as in any men's fragrance claiming a certain animal sensuality, but the particularity of Drakkar is to offer a note of oak moss, propelling the fragrance into the thick forests of the Nordic lands. Here we recall the origins of these warriors, bringing them back to their mystical woods and highlighting in the essence a culture deeply turned towards nature.
At the heart, lavender, coriander, juniper berry and angelica offer a sweetness and depth that show a self-possessed Viking man, an ideal type who will seduce the in-laws, and make a myriad of butterflies dance in the stomach of his sweetheart. To attack Drakkar, the perfume offers dynamic notes of lemon and mandarin, as if to remind us that the Viking jumps from his boat with speed, rushes onto the beach and villages, before taking possession of the new lands he explores.
His background is masculine, his heart is sensual, his head is conquering, this is the balance of the Viking according to Guy Laroche, who here signs an essence of masculinity, modern and timeless.
A great classic in the 80s and 90s, this men's fragrance remains a must-have for those wishing to embody this paradoxical man, between feigned brutality and hidden tenderness.
