The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011 by Guerlain, La Petite Robe Noire 2 is a Floral Green fragrance created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. It opens with the freshness of red berries and litchi, leading into a heart of iris and violet leaf that brings both depth and warmth to the composition. The base notes of leather and musk add an unexpected touch of sophistication, creating a scent that feels both fresh and complex.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a rich base that takes time to fully reveal itself. Apply it in light layers, allowing each note to bloom gradually throughout the day. It's best worn close to skin for a more intimate experience.
