Idylle Extract
The crisp air of a city park in early spring, where the first blooms of flowers mix with the earthy scent of freshly turned soil and a hint of nutmeg from the nearby cafe.

The story behind the bottle.
Idylle Extract by Guerlain is a creation that embodies the brand's long-standing commitment to luxurious and rare materials. Crafted by Thierry Wasser, this fragrance opens with bright floral notes that are invigorating and fresh. The heart of rose adds depth and warmth, while nutmeg in the base brings a subtle spiciness that grounds the composition. This interplay between freshness and warmth makes Idylle Extract an engaging experience from morning to night.
Apply Idylle Extract to pulse points for a warm, lasting presence. The floral top notes are bright but short-lived, so let the rose and nutmeg base take center stage as they settle into your skin throughout the day.
