This month? We try out Watier Homme Neiges EDT Set, Limited Edition…
There’s more than one reason to spritz on Watier’s Homme Neiges eau de toilette. For one, it feels like a fresh take on masculine grooming: modern, crisp and easy to wear. Two, the fragrance leans on a blend of citrus, wood and musk, so you know it’s clean enough for daytime, but with enough warmth and character for evening wear as well. And three, its Canadian. The Montreal-born and raised Lise Watier launched her namesake brand in 1972 and has never looked back.
On first spritz, the eau opens with bright and zesty top notes of mandarin and bergamot—the citrus blend is an instant mood lifter and energizer. Notes of cypress with its subtle green freshness soon waft in, giving the scent an effortless, slightly outdoorsy edge. As the fragrance softens, warm and intimate notes of musk, sandalwood and amber add a layer of warmth and a subtle sensual quality. The overall effect feels balanced. Neither too sweet nor too spicy, neither too light nor too intense, just easy and subtly seductive.
But there’s a fourth reason why we’re gravitating towards Neiges that we haven’t mentioned yet. The brand’s limited edition set that includes a soothing after‑shave balm alongside the coveted eau. Applied after shaving, the balm absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or shiny residue. Calming and hydrating, it helps soothe freshly shaved skin, leaving it soft and feeling comfortable. But possibly our favourite part, it’s infused with a subtle hint of Neige’s fragrance, so that you can have an extra layer of fragrance…and who doesn’t want that.
Watier Hommes Neiges EDT set, $50 ml Eau de Toilette and 100 ml Soothing Aftershave Balm, $89, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
