The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2007 by Guerlain, Garden Sensuel is a creation that marries the luxury of French perfumery with the charm of oriental florals. Perfumers Randa Hammami and Sylvaine Delacourte crafted this scent around a lush bouquet of white and yellow florals, accented by sweet vanilla and tonka bean for warmth. The composition opens with bright neroli and rose before transitioning into the rich heart of gardenia and ylang-ylang, grounded by woody notes like sandalwood. Garden Sensuel is not just a fragrance; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in a sensory journey of opulent floral beauty.

How to wear it

Apply Garden Sensuel to pulse points for maximum warmth. The top notes will fade within an hour, but the rich floral heart and base notes will linger throughout the day, making it ideal for evening wear.
