The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Francis Kurkdjian created Eau de Lit for Guerlain in 2006, and the composition is a harmonious blend of aromatic and musky notes with a fresh, citrusy opening. The fragrance evolves into a soft spicy and powdery heart that transitions seamlessly to an herbal, floral base. This transition creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a cozy bedroom enveloped in delicate scents.

How to wear it

Apply Eau de Lit to pulse points for an intimate yet long-lasting effect. The citrus notes are bright but fade quickly, so the powdery musk and floral base will carry the scent through the day.
