The story behind the bottle.
L'Été by Guerlain, launched in 2016 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of summer through its vibrant citrus and fruity top notes. The scent opens with lemon and bergamot, which give way to peach, jasmine, and carnation, creating a sunlit garden effect. Hay adds an earthy touch, while vanilla rounds out the composition with warmth and sweetness. This fragrance is a perfect embodiment of Guerlain's enduring tradition of using luxurious materials, blending natural scents in a harmonious dance.
Apply L'Été to pulse points for optimal longevity. The citrus top notes are bright but short-lived, so a heavier application in the morning ensures you capture its full vibrancy throughout the day. It's best suited for warmer months when its light-hearted nature can truly shine.
