The ultimate clean & fresh fragrance -- marketed to men, but it's unisex. Not too far removed from Amazing Grace, to my nose, only even more amazing -- more fresh-airy, more dispersed. Also in...

Clean, professional, and natural. One of the only clean-smelling fragrances that doesn't smell synthetic or acidic. Gendarme is a good way to prolong the showered-fresh feeling throughout the...

I really like the men's Gendarme much better than the female floral version 'Carriere'. The men's fragrance is clean,soft and very much unisex. I find most unisex fragrances to lean towards the...

I have been using this version of the Gendarme fragrances for almost 20 years when my friend John was the representative for the CA company and the gentleman (Topper) who developed it. To me it...

I call on health care professionals, so I have to be careful about wearing a fragrance for work. Gendarme seems just right; light, fresh, does not annouce my presence. I like it very much; in...

This is probably a lovely combination of jasmine and verbena, but somehow it reminds me 100% of a dog shampoo they used to make, and in the end that's what it reminds me of: Dog shampoo. Not a bad...

I have to admit, I don't understand all the fresh and clean reviews on Gendarme. While I love it, it doesn't smell what I normally associat with fresh and clean notes. On my skin, this is a...

Very delicate, slightly sweet clean fresh scent. I do see how it could fit a man or a woman, it's unobtrusive and light. It is almost identical to Mustela's Musti baby cologne to me, but ever so...

This smells very similar to Clariol Herbal Essense Shampoo of the 70s. It's herbal freshness.. clean and soapy... unisex.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, and he HATED it at first sniff! I, of course, adore it! So I've confiscated it from his side of the medicine cabinet, and I'll be wearing it, and loving...

I agree with most all that has been written here. Ever have one of those days that you just want to smell fresh and clean... and GOOD, but not cologney or perfumey... just "fresh from the shower...

For quite some time, I avoided the trend of clean, soapy, "just out of the shower" scents. Yet, knowing the reputation of Gendarme, worn by presidents and many other famous men, I figured that...

Many years ago I was walking down Fifth Avenue in NYC. A man stood next to me while we waited to cross the street. The wind softly blew his scent my way. I followed him for 2 blocks, captivated,...

This is my all-time favorite fragrance. I am highly sensitive to fragrances. Undoubtedly, fellow "Highly Sensitive Persons" (AKA HSPs) can relate. Gendarme is fresh and clean smelling without being...

Gendarme is what Clean Ultimate and Clean for Men were trying to be. This is the original "clean," the incomparable scent of freshly showered male. But as everyone has noted, Gendarme also smells...

This is the best "clean" soapy scent for a man. It also has something else in there: herbal? musky? Not sure. It could also work fine on a woman who wants a "clean" scent, although the...

I LOVE the smell of original Gendarme (the one in square clear bottle). I first smelled it on my gay best friend, who by the way, has the best taste in perfume! (he easily owns 50+ perfumes!!) ...
