The story behind the bottle.
Sous le Vent by Guerlain was launched in 1933 and crafted by the legendary Jacques Guerlain. This Chypre Floral fragrance opens with a bright, aromatic blend of tarragon and bergamot, which give way to an elegant heart of lavender and green notes, underscored by carnation and jasmine. The base notes of iris and woods create a warm, enveloping finish that is both fresh and spicy. Sous le Vent exemplifies Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials and innovative techniques, making it a lasting classic.
Apply Sous le Vent in light layers to allow its complex notes to develop gradually. The aromatic top notes are bright and fleeting, while the floral heart and woody base provide a lasting warmth that is best appreciated close to the skin.

Jacques Guerlain
The poet of the golden ageJacques Guerlain is one of the greatest perfumers who ever lived — the man who gave the world Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, and Vol de Nuit. As the third-generation perfumer of the House of Guerlain, he elevated the family craft into high art.
“Perfumery? It is a matter of patience.”
Jacques Guerlain · As recalled by Marcel Billot, Parfumerie, Cosmétique, Savons, 1964
