The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013 by Guerlain, La Petite Robe Noire Flacon Baccarat et Dentelle d'Argent is a rare and luxurious Oriental Vanilla fragrance created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. This limited edition piece comes in an iconic Baccarat bottle adorned with molten silver details, designed by artist Sara Bran. The composition opens with the rich, warm tones of patchouli and black tea, leading to a heart of cherry and almond that adds a touch of sweetness. At its core, the fragrance features Guerlain’s signature Guerlinade accord with iris, vanilla, tonka bean, and more almond notes, creating a powdery, nutty warmth.

How to wear it

Due to its limited edition status and distinctive composition, apply sparingly — one or two sprays are enough. The fragrance blooms slowly on skin, so it's best experienced close to the body rather than diffused into a room.
