The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Guerlain, Fol Arôme is the creation of Thierry Wasser, known for his ability to blend classic and innovative elements seamlessly. The fragrance opens with a bright aromatic burst from bergamot and lavender, which is soon enveloped by the soft floral notes of narcissus and jasmine. At its heart, Grasse rose and carnation add depth, while orris and powdery notes create an intimate warmth that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a balanced wear — the aromatic top notes will fade within an hour but leave behind a lingering warmth from the powdery base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime to early evening, where its subtle sophistication can truly shine.
