The story behind the bottle.
Les Secrets de Sophie by Guerlain was launched in 2009 and crafted by the legendary Jean-Paul Guerlain. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a vibrant citrus accord of bitter orange, Tunisian neroli, and bergamot, which creates an immediate freshness. The heart is anchored by white florals like jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang, lending it a delicate sweetness. As the scent evolves, notes of violet leaf and incense add a subtle smokiness, while tonka bean, vanilla, and white musk provide a warm, comforting base. This composition is a proof of Guerlain's commitment to luxurious materials, blending natural essences with an innovative touch.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The citrus notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want them to linger. The base notes will last well into the evening.
