The story behind the bottle.
La Petite Robe Noire Ma Première Robe, launched by Guerlain in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Thierry Wasser, is a sweet and fruity composition that captures the essence of youthful charm. The fragrance opens with cherry and almond notes, creating a vibrant and inviting top layer. As it settles, red berries and bergamot add a fresh twist to the sweetness, while black rose and tonka bean bring depth and warmth. This harmonious blend reflects Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials, such as French vanilla, which subtly emerges in the base along with almond and black tea.
Apply this fragrance in the morning for a lasting impression. The fruity top notes are vibrant but fade within two hours, giving way to the warm base notes that carry through the day. For a more pronounced effect, layer it with a touch of tonka bean perfume.
