The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Les Voyages Olfactifs 02 Paris-New York by Guerlain was launched in 2009 as part of a collection inspired by the rhythms and atmospheres of world capitals. Thierry Wasser crafted this fragrance, which captures the essence of a journey between two iconic cities. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from mandarin and bergamot, adding a lightness to the rich vanilla and cinnamon base. This warm spicy accord is complemented by woody elements like cedar and cardamom, evoking the festive atmosphere of Manhattan at Christmas time.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best when given time to develop on your skin. Apply it in light layers to let the spicy warmth emerge gradually throughout the day. It pairs well for an evening out but can also be worn during cooler daylight hours.
