The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, La Petite Robe Noire Plissée by Guerlain is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. The composition opens with sour cherry and mandarin orange, bringing a fresh burst of sweetness that transitions into the heart notes of almond and rose, adding warmth and depth. The base layers of patchouli and white musk provide a subtle earthiness that grounds the entire ensemble, creating a balanced and inviting scent.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced wear — the sweet top notes are fleeting but impactful, while the almond and rose heart adds warmth that lasts throughout the day. The patchouli base ensures a subtle yet lasting presence.
