La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain is cherry and almond dressed up for the evening, sweet but with a dark, spiced edge. Sour cherry, red berries and almond open it, with bergamot keeping the sugar in check. Tea and licorice run through the heart beside rose, adding a dry, slightly bitter twist. In the base, anise, tonka bean and vanilla meet patchouli and a touch of iris. Launched in 2012, it is usually worn by women who like a gourmand with some mischief in it. Voters reach for it in autumn and winter, at night, and it can also go to work. The longevity vote leans moderate, as does the sillage vote. A 10ml decant is plenty to wear it through a few dark evenings first.

The community verdict
Sweet and playful, La Petite Robe Noire starts with sour cherry, almond and red berries before tea, liquorice and rose lead into vanilla and anise. Wear divides between moderate and long-lasting; moderate projection leads, though some find it strong. It suits autumn nights and winter evenings, but the liquorice may divide tastes.

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.
