The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Parure by Guerlain was launched in 1975 and is a composition that embodies the house's legacy of using luxurious and rare materials. Jean-Paul Guerlain crafted this chypre fruity fragrance, which opens with green notes and plum, leading to a heart of rose and jasmine before settling into an earthy base of oakmoss, leather, and patchouli. The combination of these elements creates a scent that is both fresh and complex, capturing the essence of Guerlain's tradition of innovation and quality.

How to wear it

Apply Parure to pulse points for a lasting effect. The green and fruity top notes are fleeting, but the earthy base notes will linger throughout the day, making it ideal for evening wear or special occasions.
