En Garde!, from Burdin was released in 2021. The perfumer behind this creation is Nathalie Feisthauer. The notes are Bergamot, Cedarwood, Geranium, Pepper, Pine Tree, Pink Pepper, Resins, Rose, Tonka Bean.
En Garde is an apt name for a scent which definitely demands attention and dominates the senses. This is a green woody scent done very well I must say, even if it’s not my ideal style of fragrance. A prominent soft note of cedar lies at the heart of this scent, elevated by a green aromatic touch of pine. The pine in here is fantastic I can’t deny, it smells brilliantly natural and comforting - like a peaceful walk in amongst the trees. An overdose of pink and black pepper provide a powerful kick, which compliments the soft rosiness of geranium. Pine is often hard to get right and convey the right feelings, but this scent does it brilliantly. Personally I like my woody scents a bit richer with the addition of mosses and more florals, but if you’re looking for a masculine piney cedar then this is a strong contender to consider.
