The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Muguet 2012 by Guerlain is a Floral Green fragrance for women that was launched in 2012, bringing the house's tradition of luxurious and rare materials into contemporary form. The scent opens with a bright, fresh muguet note — commonly known as lily of the valley — which is balanced by green nuances and a subtle base of white musk and woodsy accords. This composition captures the essence of a spring day, where the delicate floral notes of muguet are complemented by the crispness of nature.

How to wear it

This fragrance is best applied lightly — a single spritz captures its delicate balance perfectly. The muguet note is particularly bright and fresh at first, so it's ideal for daytime wear when you want a light floral presence that evolves subtly over time.
