Launched in 1906 by Jacques Guerlain, Apres l'Ondee is a masterpiece that captures the essence of French elegance. The composition opens with a bright and fresh anise note that cuts through the heart of floral accords such as violet, iris, mimosa, and carnation. These florals are balanced by the warmth of sandalwood, rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and vetiver, creating a lush and powdery base that evokes the earthy richness of an autumn garden.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The bright anise note fades within an hour, so layering it with the powdery base notes will ensure you experience the full depth of this fragrance. It reads best close to skin rather than across a room.

“When I created Shalimar, I was thinking of the great love stories — of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.”
Jacques Guerlain is one of the greatest perfumers who ever lived — the man who gave the world Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, and Vol de Nuit. As the third-generation perfumer of the House of Guerlain, he elevated the family craft into high art. Working in the legendary Guerlain laboratory on the Champs-Élysées, he drew inspiration from love, literature, and travel to create fragrances of unprecedented emotional depth. Shalimar, inspired by the gardens of the Taj Mahal and his love affair with a woman whose identity remains mysterious, is perhaps the most celebrated perfume in history.
