The story behind the bottle.
Terracotta Voile d'Été (No.25, Quand Vient l'Été) by Guerlain was launched in 1999 and created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and Mathilde Laurent. This Oriental Floral fragrance is a warm embrace of summer's arrival — the initial burst of lemon and bergamot gives way to the rich warmth of jasmine, carnation, and vanilla, creating a composition that reads as both fresh and enveloping. The addition of hay and peach adds an earthy sweetness, grounding the scent in memories of sun-drenched afternoons.
Apply one or two sprays on your pulse points; the initial citrus notes will brighten up within minutes. The fragrance blooms into its warm heart and base notes over an hour, so it's best experienced close to skin rather than across a room.
