The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Le Songe de la Reine, crafted by Thierry Wasser for Guerlain, is an exquisite blend of woody and citrus notes with a powdery heart. The fragrance opens with the crispness of pink pepper, mandarin orange, and bergamot, giving way to fig and iris that add depth and warmth. Sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar form a rich base that grounds the composition in earthy sophistication. This scent embodies Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials, offering an experience that is both elegant and intimate.

How to wear it

One spray is sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The powdery heart emerges quickly after the citrus top notes fade, making it perfect for daytime wear. It pairs well with light layers in a home or office setting.
