Launched in 2024 by Guerlain, Épices Exquises is a creation by Thierry Wasser that embodies the brand's tradition of using luxurious and rare materials. The fragrance opens with a vibrant combination of cardamom, pink pepper, and black pepper, which introduces an immediate freshness and warmth. This spicy aromatic blend gives way to a heart of oud and sandalwood, adding depth and complexity while maintaining its vibrancy. Patchouli rounds out the composition, grounding it in earthy richness. Épices Exquises is a proof of Guerlain's legacy of using both traditional and innovative elements to craft lasting scents.

Application Tips
Apply Épices Exquises with two sprays to ensure that the initial spicy notes give way to the deeper woody and earthy base. The fragrance's longevity is best experienced close to the skin rather than diffused through the air, making it ideal for intimate settings or quiet moments.
