The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017, La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette My Cocktail Dress 2017 by Guerlain is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women, crafted by Thierry Wasser. This composition opens with a burst of green and fruity notes — black currant and sour cherry—before transitioning into a heart that balances jasmine and orange blossom. The base brings warmth with patchouli, musk, and amber. It's designed to evoke the essence of an elegant evening, where freshness meets subtle sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply lightly to pulse points — the fruity top notes are vibrant but short-lived. The fragrance develops its warm base over time, making it perfect for an evening out or a late dinner.
