The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Guerlain, Kadine is a Floral fragrance for both women and men, created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. The composition is a harmonious blend of iris, powdery notes, vanilla, white florals, leather, citrus, green accords, and violet. It opens with the brightness of bergamot and green notes before diving into an intricate heart of jasmine and rose, anchored by the warmth of vanilla and the depth of leather.

How to wear it

Apply this parfum in small amounts; the iris and vanilla take time to develop on skin. The warmth of the leather base comes through after about an hour, making it ideal for evening wear or cooler weather.
