The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Guerlain, Le Printemps is a floral fragrance crafted by Thierry Wasser that captures the essence of spring. The composition opens with bergamot and hyacinth, bringing a fresh spicy and citrusy note before settling into the heart of Bulgarian rose, freesia, and cyclamen. The base notes of white musk and green accords provide a powdery warmth, creating an overall impression of floral freshness and subtle spiciness.
Apply Le Printemps lightly — its fresh top notes are bright but fleeting. The rose and musky base develop slowly over time, making it perfect for daytime wear where it can evolve naturally throughout the day.
