The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, La Petite Robe Noire Intense by Guerlain captures the essence of modern femininity with its gourmand floral composition. Perfumer Thierry Wasser crafted this scent around a sweet and fruity opening that transitions into a warm and powdery base. Cotton candy and berries mingle at first before giving way to Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and orange blossom, creating a lush bouquet. The heart is then embraced by vanilla, caramel, and patchouli, offering an indulgent yet refined finish.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an intimate warmth that builds throughout the day. The sweet top notes are fleeting but make way for a lasting powdery base that stays close to skin.
