The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Guerlain, Mon Guerlain L'Essence is a sophisticated Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumers Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. The composition opens with the fresh zest of bergamot and lavender, which give way to the lush tropical notes of frangipani and jasmine sambac. At its heart lies Tahitian vanilla and sandalwood, enveloping the wearer in a warm and comforting embrace. This fragrance seamlessly blends the luxury and tradition for which Guerlain is known with modern innovation.
Mon Guerlain L'Essence projects well but doesn't overwhelm, so aim for two sprays to ensure that the fragrance develops fully on your skin. It blooms best in warmer temperatures, making it perfect for evening wear or a cozy indoor setting.
