The story behind the bottle.
French Kiss by Guerlain is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women that Thierry Wasser crafted in 2014. This composition opens with the juicy tartness of raspberry and litchi, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. The heart unfolds with violet and rose, adding layers of sweetness and depth, while heliotrope brings a soft, powdery touch. The base notes of vanilla, orris root, and white musk provide warmth and comfort, rounding out the overall experience with a cozy, enveloping finish.
Apply French Kiss to pulse points for a warm embrace that lasts through the day. The fruity top notes will fade within an hour or two, but the powdery heart and comforting base will linger longer. It reads best in cooler settings where it can maintain its warmth and sweetness.
