The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1998 by Guerlain and crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, Muguet 1998 is a fresh white floral fragrance that captures the essence of spring. The composition opens with green notes and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of crispness and renewal. At its heart, lily-of-the-valley takes center stage, supported by jasmine, lilac, and rose, each note adding layers of delicate complexity. The base of white musk and sandalwood ensures a warm and comforting finish that remains true to Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials.
Apply Muguet 1998 to pulse points for best effect. The green and citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so layering with a touch of moisturizer can help extend their presence. This fragrance is particularly suited for daytime wear, where its light-hearted freshness will complement your morning activities.
