The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, Promenade des Anglais by Guerlain is a captivating blend of powdery, fruity, floral, and woody notes. The composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and violet leaf, leading into a heart of mimosa, lily-of-the-valley, and rose that reads as delicate and refined. Orris and heliotrope add depth, while white musk rounds out the base for an overall effect that is both airy and enveloping.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points for a balance between the bright top notes and the warm base. This fragrance blooms over time, so it's best to wear it during the day when its complexity can unfold fully.
