The original, which will now be called L'Heure Bleue 1912, is a completely different perfume. But even I, this old auntie, now only wear it at home as a comforting, bedtime scent. I wouldn’t want to be without it.
Yes, sweet woodruff is also an option. If you have a sample of O, check the card in the ingredients list-it says “Coumarin, or kumarin.” That’s responsible for the green aspect and is one of the main scents in sweet woodruff, among other things.
According to Guerlain, this is a new and different fragrance, deliberately created in a modern style. Guerlain calls it a “spiral fragrance,” and I like it very much. I’ll wear it anywhere without hesitation. But you should experiment with the dosage beforehand, as it can be very strong depending on the situation. And it lasts a long time.
This means there is no traditional pyramid-like progression; instead, the fragrance behaves differently depending on the weather, temperature, skin, etc., repeatedly returning to certain notes as it develops and continually offering different combinations of scents.
I mean, this new fragrance is office-friendly. It’s a matter of dosage, I think. I’ve enjoyed having it around me today, just as I did yesterday. To others, I think, it radiates a graceful sweetness.
Because I was curious, I just made a quick detour to Galeria and tested the EDT of the original (it must have been an older version, since it didn’t have “1912” added). It was good too-I haven’t experienced the entire development yet, but so far I actually like “the new one” better. I’ll cautiously test whether it’s office-appropriate next week with half a spray 😁 The different fragrance combinations sound exciting, and I’m looking forward to testing it further. Now I just hope that **L’Heure Bleue**, despite the rather mixed reviews, will be a success for Guerlain-because if they discontinue it again, I’ll need a backup 😂
