The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1979 by Jean-Paul Guerlain, Nahéma Extract is a Floral Fruity fragrance that encapsulates the essence of luxurious refinement. The composition opens with a vibrant Rose note, which transitions into a heart of Hyacinth and Passion Flower, bringing a lush, verdant character to the blend. As it settles, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean create a warm, spicy, and sweet base that is both comforting and sophisticated. This fragrance is a proof of Guerlain's tradition of using rare and luxurious materials, offering an experience that feels as opulent as its heritage.
Nahéma Extract has a rich base that takes time to bloom. Apply it lightly in the morning or early afternoon for its full effect through the day. The floral heart can be overpowering if layered too heavily, so one or two sprays are sufficient.
