The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Souvenir d'Orchidée, launched by Guerlain in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Delphine Jelk, is an evocative Floral Aquatic fragrance for women. It opens with a bright aquatic note that contrasts beautifully with the powdery warmth of jasmine sambac and iris. The heart of angelica adds a fresh herbal touch, while moss and musky amber provide a grounding earthiness to the composition.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms within minutes. The aquatic top notes are fleeting but impactful, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want an initial burst followed by warm, powdery depth.
