To my nose, this is Silences by Jacomo in its old formula.

To say that L’Ame d’Un Héros is the same scent as Coriolan is a lot like saying Polo Modern Reserve is the same fragrance as Polo. They’re *technically* the same structure, and are similar enough to mistake for each other, but they do have a different character. The original, Coriolan, is much drier, more masculine. The heart and base notes of L’Ame are very similar, but the opening is more floral, quite a bit smoother. Even the core structure has a different feel – Coriolan reinterpreted with slightly different materials.
If you are unable to compare the two scents, I agree that Coriolan is the better value and is very satisfying…but if you’re able to compare the two, or if you’re a woman who enjoys wearing mens scents, you may end up preferring L’Ame.

If you get on ebay, not ebay.fr, you can pick this up at a quarter of the price tag under Coriolan. Better and original formula. Not this repackaged rubbish.

This is Coriolan repackaged, I spoke with one of head Guerlain reps when I was in Florida, and she confirmed that it was. Great fragrance.

The top notes are a little musty, and then it dries down as a musty citrus vetiver-green. Hard to describe, really!
It doesn’t smell so much masculine to me as it does vintage, or from a different age. But perhaps I’m being influenced by the Guerlain story rather than the scent itself.
It’s okay. It doesn’t send me.
Sillage and longevity are not good… which is especially a negative at the premium price Guerlain is asking for this. There are more interesting and more masculine men’s fragrances for a lot less money.

I loved CORIOLAN when it came out back in 1999. It will always remind me of the SPA @ The Breakers, Florida for I worked there as an international exchange student. Lots of memories.
The scent is very green, herbaceous, chypre, mossy, leafy and “wet”.
Vetiver and Patchouli give it its manly, natural and green character that at the time liked to smell but not on me for I thought I was too young for the scent at the time. I would still say that this frag is best suited for a well-situated man (not a youngster).
The product was initially a commercial failure, I think mainly because of the feminine shaped bottle (that I love and adore).
A very sophisticated, green and natural, calming fragrance (with a spicy Sage top note) that would be best suited for a gardener or landscaper…or someone who truly loves and worships nature.

This is the réédition of Coriolan.

A manly scent for a manly man. I love wearing this and pretending I am a damsel being swept off my feet by the manliest man ever wearing the manliest scent ever. A manly man scent. Did I mention it was manly?
