The story behind the bottle.
Baiser de Russie by Guerlain, launched in 2018 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, is an aromatic and sweet floral-fruit composition that captures the essence of a warm embrace. The fragrance opens with pine needles and absinthe, creating a fresh, slightly bitter note that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of plum and bergamot. As it develops, jasmine and caramel add depth, while vanilla, tonka bean, white musk, and sandalwood create a comforting, powdery base.
Baiser de Russie has a rich base that blooms slowly, so allow it to settle for at least an hour before reapplying. It reads best close to the skin, making it perfect for layering under a jacket or sweater.
