Launched in 2015 by Guerlain, Flacon Tortue is a woody spicy fragrance created by Thierry Wasser. This composition begins with the bright zing of mandarin orange and cardamom, giving way to an array of sweet and fruity notes like apricot and pink pepper. The heart features magnolia, immortelle, osmanthus, jasmine, rose, and orange blossom, creating a lush floral bouquet. The base is warm and enveloping, with vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin, white musk, incense, and cedar providing depth and richness.

Application Tips
Flacon Tortue has a rich base that takes time to develop fully. Apply it generously on pulse points for best effect, allowing the warmth and spiciness to unfold gradually throughout the day.
