Sugar Almond Bouquet

Leave it up to Guerlain to make a scent that wears close to the skin but is so addictive that you will be left wanting more and more. I'm not sure if this perfume lives up to its grand title: is this enough for a day like a wedding? The scent must always be the star but the presentation also matters: there is the delicate bottle with the vintage bulb spray. But unfortunately, those sprays are the worst because they allow a lot of air into the bottle and they drip. I lost two very expensive Guerlain bottles due to the bulb sprayer: the perfume went bad. I always use the regular spray now, but LPBJDMV does not come with a regular spray! But then again, this is only a 60 ml bottle, so it won't be around for a long time.

Now to the scent itself: it opens with a slightly licoricey almond with a lot of powdered sugar. It pretty much stays sugary and almondy throughout, but the licorice goes away. There is some musk and floral accents but they are blended together to where I cannot distinguish individual notes. This is not cloying at all but hovers just above the skin. The sillage is very intimate but the longevity can last through the night with enough sprays.

LPBJDMV smells a lot like Keiko Mecheri's Loukhoum but more faint and much more refined. Loukhoum is extremely tenacious, a lot more in your face. It borders on what I would call cloying. Guerlain's version is like lace, transparent and ephemeral.

Part of the ROI Years

While i analyzed the evolution of this fragrance on my skin, trying to understand what does it told me, i started to speculate that this new ode to love and romance comming from the brand seems to fit on a strategy that has started on 2012 with the transformation of La Petite Robe Noire in a mainstream creation. Those are the years of the return on investment or the fruit investment harvest from a brand that had to find a way to keep its classics, history and tradition at the same time that it reinvented itself to keep its fragrances appealing to new publics and thus ensuring the financial continuity of their business. This strategy is already consolidated, the brand has become atractive and interesting again and now it's time to explore this and not time to inovate or look further.

In this scenario, Le Plus Beau Jour de Ma Vie is clearly familiar, as it has been happening with other creations from Guerlain on the last years. I have seen critics about its smell beeing too much sweet, but compared with fragrances like Iris Ganache, Insolence EDP or even LPRN, i would say that this one has a moderate sweetness. My main critic to its smell is that it seems clearly of a mainstream appeal than an exclusive one, a fragrance that could easily have a wider distribution and a lower price.

I think its curious that the extrait version (Bouquet de La Marièe) and the EDP seems so different at the same they are strongly linked one another via the orange blossom. She is the main responsible here to give the radiant and bridal face to the composition. But if in Bouquet de La Marièe the almonds seemed to take the fragrance into a direction closer to the one in Mon Precieux Nectar, the musks and vanilla accord here, emulating the white chocolate idea, make this bridal creation like an intermediate between structures found in both Iris Ganache and Angelique Noire. Even tough, the sweetness here is submited into the luminous, happy, citrusy and sweet of the orange blossom, which is what reigns on my skin. It's a flower impression similar to the one found in the Elie Saab creations, but with the typical gourmand accord treatment of the house.

I see here an exquisite gourmand composition, but i don't see, in a critical way, a fragrance that seems made toward the most loyal Guerlain consumer. In those years of fruit harvest, i would say that Guerlain for me is like a relationship that has fallen into the routine, that it's not bad but that lacks a pinch of something new and exciting. I hope that we soon have a new cicle of innovation, even small ones, or commercial exploitation of the brand's past.

Ah, Air

Sniffing swiftly through the relatively new offerings at a Guerlain counter, this riveted attention and I came away with a sample. I wouldn't have guessed it is a fairly new Guerlain because, unlike with L'Instant and L'Instant Magic, I can actually breathe while smelling this scent. Mind you, it does tickle my nose with something, perhaps the pink pepper, but not to the point I'm actually gasping. Rather, the beautiful heart of Almond, Rose and Orange blossom captivates throughout, Vanilla adding sweetness from the base. Were it not for the pink pepper this would go straight on my wish list, but I need to live with it awhile to see if I keep breathing the whole time it's on. Not surprised that Thierry Wasser designed it, rather than those responsible for previously mentioned ones. The name translates to "The Most Beautiful Day of My Life," i.e., a wedding or engagement or birth of a child. The fragrance may not be terribly unique or quite in the same league with Guerlain's fully breathable entrancing greats (Vol de Nuit, Jardin de Bagatelle, etc, etc,) but this is still a lovely perfume, not an olfactory mistake.

p.s. Finally had to wash it off. The breathability didn't improve. Those not sensitive to chemicals may enjoy.

One word - unbelievable

It is so unbelievably beautiful, enchanting, captivating, alluring... I can go on. I bought this perfume a few years ago blindly, and it has remained one of my favorites until today. Everything is so perfect in this fragrance: sweetness is just right, agelica adds a touch of something special, and orange blossom with almond is so a Guerlain-like combination. Perfect blending, perfect longevity, and for me, a perfect scent altogether. Extremely feminine, great quality, and absolutely stunning. I am very picky when it comes to adding and keeping fragrances in my collection. They must be extraordinary in my book and evoke a scentgasm, and LBDM is just that.

Three Months' Salary

Today at lunch, I spontaneously went out with two colleagues. Both are in their late twenties, educated, blonde, and attractive - and both professionally as well as - I realized during lunch - privately very ambitious. One of them mentioned that she believes her boyfriend might soon pop the question. And I briefly thought about recommending Guerlain's Le Plus Beau Jour de Ma Vie for the big day. But then she mentioned that she had recently reminded him of the 'Three Months' Salary Rule' - just to make sure he wouldn't do anything foolish. I must admit I wasn't familiar with this rule - at least not as a contemporary tool - and felt a bit pitying - as if I were living under a rock - to be informed that the engagement ring must cost three months' salary of the man. This comes from the idea that after the marriage promise, one might already give oneself to the other - but not before? I don't think so - and if he were to leave you, you would be 'damaged goods' and at least have the ring as a little consolation. I tilted my head slightly and studied the two of them, thinking: 'Germany 2017 - wow.' And I was glad that I hadn't told her about Guerlain and its beautiful wedding fragrance.

I can't exactly remember the price of Le Plus Beau Jour de Ma Vie, but I'm pretty sure it was well under five hundred euros - and thus far from the expectations of the two young ladies. I still recall thinking while testing it - that spring in a Guerlain store in Paris - what a wonderful engagement gift the pretty little bottle with the spray nozzle would surely make. In my comment on Le Bouquet de la Mariée, I described the fragrance - Extrait and Eau de Parfum hardly differ for me - it is a perfume full of tenderness and joy of life and full of abundance. As bright as jubilant sugar and lively as white and pale pink butterflies - and completely innocent and one who wants nothing to do with 'three months' salary' and 'damaged goods', but only with a promise for a whole life - in good times and in bad - of laughter and kisses at the altar, of doves and rose arches, of clinking champagne glasses and proud parents - the mother of the bride in apricot, the mother of the groom in lilac or pale turquoise - and the very best friend who catches the bridal bouquet at the end.

Conclusion: I almost felt a bit sorry for the future groom. But surely he is such a blonde-haired lad with a Barbour jacket and a hunting license - and the pity faded away. And when she walks down the aisle next spring with him and her one-carat from Maximilianstraße, Goethestraße, or Neuer Wall, she will know nothing of Guerlain and its beautiful wedding fragrance. And that's good.
