The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022, Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance crafted by perfumers Delphine Jelk and Thierry Wasser. This composition opens with an aromatic and fresh spicy accord that gives way to a green and woody heart, underpinned by a rich base of musky notes and white florals. The scent balances crisp citrus freshness with earthy vetiver, creating a dynamic interplay between light and depth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a lasting effect. The aromatic top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so layering over lotion can enhance their presence. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
