Guy Laroche 男性淡香精 Drakkar Intense EDP 100ML

The absinthe note in the opening gives it a sharp, green kick that I wasn't expecting from a fougère, and it settles into a clean, masculine dry-down that easily lasts my whole workday. Got the 100ml bottle and it's already my go-to for evening plans.

The bergamot in the opening gives it a fresh, slightly bitter kick that lasts longer than I expected for a fougère. I've worn it for a full workday and still catch whiffs of the absinthe base hours later, which is impressive for the price.

The bergamot opening hits instantly, sharp and clean, but the absinthe note underneath gives it a bit of an edge that's really grown on me. It lasts well into the evening on my skin, which is exactly what I hoped for in an EDP.
