The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Eau De Cologne Imperiale Lunar New Year Edition by Guerlain was launched in 2019 and is a perfect embodiment of the brand's rich history and tradition. This fragrance opens with a bright, zesty blend of lemon verbena, citruses, bergamot, lemon, and orange, instantly evoking freshness and vitality. The heart notes of neroli and rosemary add a subtle aromatic touch, while tonka bean and cedar in the base offer a warm, woody finish that grounds the composition.

How to wear it

This cologne is best applied in light sprays — two to three should be sufficient. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so it's ideal for daytime wear when you want a refreshing yet subtle presence.
