Arsène Lupin Dandy by Guerlain was launched in 2010 and is a Woody Chypre fragrance for men. Crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, this composition balances citrus freshness with warm spiciness and woody depth. The opening notes of bitter orange and bergamot give way to the warmth of cardamom and pink pepper, while olibanum adds an aromatic layer. Sandalwood and patchouli anchor the base, creating a rich and enveloping finish that reads as both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to ensure that the citrus top notes are balanced by the rich base notes. It blooms slowly over time, so it's best for those who appreciate a fragrance that evolves throughout the day. Avoid wearing it in overly warm conditions as the spicy and woody elements can become more pronounced.
Jean-Paul Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 89 fragrances · b. 1937 · French
“I am the last Guerlain to make perfume. After me, the house continues — but the family chapter closes.”
Jean-Paul Guerlain is the fourth and final generation of Guerlain family perfumers, a lineage that spans nearly two centuries of French fragrance history. Taking the creative helm of the house in 1955, he continued the family's tradition of creating deeply personal, emotionally rich fragrances. His masterpieces — Habit Rouge, Vétiver, Samsara, and Héritage — are cornerstones of the perfume canon. Jean-Paul brought a more modern, sometimes daring sensibility to the Guerlain tradition, while always maintaining the house's legendary commitment to the finest raw materials.
