Mon Guerlain, launched in the spring of 2017, is Guerlain's tribute to contemporary women "with a strong, free and sensual femininity, as inspired by Angelina Jolie". Its new flanker Mon Guerlain Florale comes out a year later as a more floral and airy version of the original with additional notes of peony and an enhanced dose of Sambac jasmine. The opening remains the same, with the signature note of Carla lavender. The heart retains Sambac jasmine in a higher concentration together with additional floral notes of peony and Paradisone molecule. The base includes vanilla with woody notes. The elegant and timeless bottle design based on the Nuances d'or de Guerlain comes in rose-gold color after the champagne nuance of Mon Guerlain the original. The fragrance is available as a 50 and 100 ml the Eau de Parfum Florale.
