The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Guerlain and crafted by perfumer Thierry Wasser, Le Parfum du 68 is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of a modern classic. This composition opens with warm spicy notes, leading into a heart of herbal and smoky accords before settling on an amber and vanilla base. The rich balsamic undertones add depth, making it a scent that feels both lasting and contemporary.
This parfum is best applied lightly — the warm spices and smoky notes project well on their own. The amber and vanilla base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so plan accordingly for the fullest experience.
