Drakkar Bleu

Drakkar Bleu is a 2025 release from Guy Laroche for men, and it is green before anything else: every wearer names that accord, most also call it woody and aromatic, and about a third find it gourmand, fresh or citrus. It is a crisp, outdoorsy take on a classic masculine style.

The notes are listed without stages, but they group naturally. Bergamot and spearmint give the opening a cold, bright snap, with apple adding a touch of fruit so the freshness is not purely herbal. Lavender and sage sit in the heart, the clean, slightly camphorous pairing of a traditional fougère, while violet leaf adds a watery green sharpness. The base turns to the forest: fir brings a resinous, needle-like note, and oakmoss, moss and patchouli give it an earthy, damp-ground depth.

The character suggests daytime wear in spring and autumn, a scent for the office or a weekend outdoors, and it should suit men who like a sharp, green, well-groomed smell rather than a sweet or heavy one.
