The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, L’Hiver from Guerlain is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the freshness of pine and angelica before leading into a heart of iris and ambrette, which adds a musky warmth. The base notes of incense, amber, and white musk create an enveloping smoky and powdery atmosphere that feels like a warm embrace on a cold winter evening. L’Hiver is a perfect embodiment of Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials to craft lasting scents.
This fragrance has a slow build, so apply it to pulse points for maximum impact. It's best worn during cooler weather when its smoky warmth can feel most comforting.
