The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2005, Plus Que Jamais by Guerlain is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain. This composition opens with a vibrant blend of aldehydes and citrus notes like bergamot and neroli, creating a fresh yet sophisticated top layer. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich blend of iris and jasmine, supported by the earthy warmth of tonka bean and vanilla. The base is anchored by woody and powdery accords, making Plus Que Jamais an elegant fusion of classic Guerlain craftsmanship and modern sensibilities.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced wear. The aldehydes and citrus notes fade within an hour, so ensure you give it time to transition into its heart and base notes. This fragrance is best suited for evening events where its rich complexity can shine.
