Candy-sweet, feminine blockbuster
Every now and then, I like to test women's fragrances, just to have gift ideas for ladies at any upcoming events - such as birthdays. While I was going through the perfume store as usual, I encountered an employee who was eagerly spraying test strips with Mon Guerlain. I initially walked past, but stopped when I noticed this sweet cloud. After I managed to get a test strip and took a sniff, I was immediately in seventh heaven. What a fantastic scent!
It starts off like a Maoam - yes, that association is unavoidable for me. I also perceive a slightly citrus undertone. The scent development is largely linear. The lavender comes forward, making the fragrance more mature and slightly tempering the sweetness. A very clean and natural vanilla can also be detected. The jasmine and sandalwood remain subtly in the background, giving the fragrance a lovely depth. In my opinion, the occasions for wearing this scent are diverse: it seems most suitable for evenings and in spring, possibly even on not-too-hot summer days. A small note: for me, this scent is the feminine counterpart to L'homme Ideal. They share some similarities in my view.
Longevity and sillage: both are strong. The longevity is around 7-8 hours, and the projection lasts for about 3 hours. After that, it is still detectable, but by no means as strong as at the beginning.
Bottle: very nice and relatively high-quality. However, once the pink fragrance liquid is used up, I can imagine it won't look quite as chic anymore. Still, a great bottle!
Guerlain has launched a fantastic fragrance with Mon Guerlain. It is cheerful yet serious, sweet yet grown-up. Top!

I was reminded of Maoam when I sprayed the scent. :) I really like it!
