The house

More from Guerlain

Guerlain dates back to 1828, when Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain began making scents in France, and the house has been polishing one warm, powdery signature ever since. Vanilla, iris and tonka bean run through the range, brightened by bergamot and settled on sandalwood. Start with Shalimar Eau de Parfum: sparkling citrus that sinks slowly into amber and vanilla. Mon Guerlain wraps lavender in a soft vanilla haze, while La Petite Robe Noire is dark cherry with a sugared edge. For something lighter, Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is fresh and green. Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk are among the perfumers credited on the range here.
