Oh, I brought this one a long time ago in these threads. Great to see that it's making circles back.
>What is the male variation, i think theres a unisex one but im afraid of picking up the wrong one?
This is as male as Eau de Cologne gets. It's the blueprint of Colognes together with 4711. It also has such an interesting history
>Created in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, Eau de Cologne Impériale was the very first Eau de Cologne by Guerlain. Specially composed for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, it earned its creator the title of "Perfumer to His Majesty". Eau de Cologne Impériale was the first made-to-measure fragrance in perfumery, created upon special order of the Empress Eugénie to treat her migraines.
>The Empress enjoyed the exclusive use of this fragrance before giving her authorisation for it to be sold. On its label, it bears the symbol of the Empire with the coat of arms chosen by Napoleon: the eagle, the imperial crown and the sceptre.
>Its bottle bears a constellation of 69 bees, the symbol of the Empire and the emblem of the Guerlain family of "Eaux."
You can also notice that the top part of the bottle was inspired by the column standing at Place Vendôme. The first location of the Guerlain store and one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Paris. It's really a bottled piece of history. Imagine Creed or PdM having such a story to tell - they'd put it into every single marketing material, whereas for Guerlain it's just yet another chapter of many. The fact that you can get such gems so cheaply perplexes me.
