La Petite Robe Noire Guerlain 2012 Eau de Parfum

The little black one. This scent has been with me for about 10 years. Sometimes I don't wear it for weeks. And then suddenly every day. It may not be the best Guerlain fragrance of all time in this price range. But still completely underrated.

I love the name and the bottle alone. When I spray it on, I immediately get a feeling of being enveloped. I don't really smell the licorice that some describe. It might be a little scratchy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I bought it at the Osswald perfumery when I lived in Switzerland. One of the most well-known perfumeries, although more for luxury scents of all kinds. And back then, as a total fragrance novice, I bought it at the same time as Fracas, which was probably Madonna's signature scent. As a child of the 80s, I had to wear that too. I couldn't explain the price difference at the time. And today, my tuberose phase is also over.

But back to La Petite Robe Noir (2012). The time to wear it will soon be over again, as I really perceive it as wintry and a scent for colder days. Which of course doesn't exclude wearing it whenever you want.

Guerlain is and remains one of my favorite houses. Especially because of their incredible range of fragrances. Anyone who doesn't find a suitable scent here, whether designer or niche, probably hasn't tested much yet. You can start with this one. Or remind yourself of it. For me, it will probably always remain in the collection.
