The story behind the bottle.
Mahora by Guerlain was launched in 2000, crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, and it seamlessly blends classic floral notes with subtle green accents and warm vanilla undertones. The composition opens with almond blossom and green notes that create a fresh, airy entry before giving way to tuberose and ylang-ylang, which form the heart of the fragrance. This floral bouquet is richly complemented by jasmine and neroli, adding layers of sweetness and depth. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a woody base that grounds the scent with earthy warmth.
Two sprays to the wrists and neck will allow Mahora's floral heart to bloom gently over time. The green notes are fleeting but create an initial freshness that complements the long-lasting woody base, making it ideal for daytime wear.
