The story behind the bottle.
Launched by Guerlain in 1996, Marie Claire is a floral masterpiece crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain. The fragrance opens with bright citrus and aromatic notes of orange and jasmine before transitioning into the heart of tuberose and ylang-ylang, which adds an opulent sweetness. The base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, and tonka bean create a warm, enveloping scent that feels both modern and lasting.
For best results, apply Marie Claire to pulse points and allow it to develop on your skin over time. The base notes are rich and long-lasting, so a light application in the morning will carry you through the day.
