I have just heard that, apparently, this is going to be discontinued. I hope this is not true, but previous experiences have shown otherwise. I will probably return and write more. Suffice it to say, this is my first Guerlain, and my favourite...

A remarkable scent characterised by its timeless beauty, a dream of lavender fields swaying gently in the wind, with a touch of vanilla, almost imperceptible at first, but then gaining more ground. Calm and beauty, eternal aspirations and the mere...

The old(er) bottles that are marked "Tsar de Van Cleef & Arpels" contain the noble juice. All the other newer ones, without the French word "de", are but a pale ghost of a once glorious scent. Very sad, but that is the way the world seems...

A truly majestic masculine fragrance, an exquisite blend of expensive ingredients, among which I would mention fine Cognac, leather, agarwood, myrrh and musk, as well as various spices that give it a roundness and a multidimensional projection....

I find this a lovely and youthful scent of honey, that makes me think of a pasture filled with flowers that are buzzing with polen-carrying bees. Sweet but not too sweet, with a tinge of vanilla and a powdery aftertaste that is more difficult...

A definite love at first sniff for me! Mesmerized by an initial bittersweet blend of honey and eucalyptus, then seduced by the appealing call of the citruses that make me recall a youthful memory of honeysuckle after a summer rain and the velvet...

An addictive scent that reminds me of Tobacco Oud, with an additional more masculine touch, perhaps the result of the cumin, black pepper and coffee combination. There is a distinctive note of expensive cognac that envelops it all, and my nose...

Wonderful powdery iris!... If there is any jasmine there, then it must be very elusive, because I personally can feel no trace of it at all... It has an almost palpable velvet touch to it, and there is very little variation with the passing...

A warm spicy blend, in which I might be tempted to distinguish cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla and even a note of dark (and perhaps bitter) cherry. Sweet and powdery, but not exceedingly so. Androgynous, yes, but perhaps tilting more...

This refers to what is available in 2020, so it might have very little or nothing at all to do with a previous edition. My nose detects a woody, slightly spicy scent, very mild and therefore easy to wear anytime. There is a slight powdery aftertaste,...

A wonderful scent of elegance and distinction, the result of a natural blend of citrus essences and spices, topped with what in French would be called a "je ne sais quoi", a mysterious ingredient, perhaps related to its peppery freshness. It has already...
