The first sip of a perfectly brewed chai tea, where the initial burst of citrus gives way to the complexity of spices and the smoothness of woodsy notes.

The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Guerlain, Épices Volées is a Woody Chypre fragrance for both women and men, crafted by the renowned Jean-Paul Guerlain. This composition opens with a burst of aromatic coriander and artemisia, followed by the freshness of lemon and bergamot. The heart introduces sage and cardamom, while clove adds warmth. As it settles, Bulgarian rose, patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, and labdanum create an enveloping, spicy-woody base that is both comforting and intriguing.
Apply Épices Volées with two sprays — it blooms quickly but maintains its warmth throughout the day. The aromatic top notes fade within an hour, so reapply for a sustained effect. It reads better close to skin than in the air.
