Launched in 2016 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, L’Hiver from Guerlain is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the freshness of pine and angelica before leading into a heart of iris and ambrette, which adds a musky warmth. The base notes of incense, amber, and white musk create an enveloping smoky and powdery atmosphere that feels like a warm embrace on a cold winter evening. L’Hiver is a perfect embodiment of Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials to craft lasting scents.

The story behind the bottle.
A quiet library in the late afternoon, where soft light filters through the windows and the scent of aged books mingles with warm incense.
