Mahora by Guerlain was launched in 2000, crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, and it seamlessly blends classic floral notes with subtle green accents and warm vanilla undertones. The composition opens with almond blossom and green notes that create a fresh, airy entry before giving way to tuberose and ylang-ylang, which form the heart of the fragrance. This floral bouquet is richly complemented by jasmine and neroli, adding layers of sweetness and depth. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a woody base that grounds the scent with earthy warmth.

Jean-Paul Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 89 fragrances · b. 1937 · French
“I am the last Guerlain to make perfume. After me, the house continues — but the family chapter closes.”
Jean-Paul Guerlain is the fourth and final generation of Guerlain family perfumers, a lineage that spans nearly two centuries of French fragrance history. Taking the creative helm of the house in 1955, he continued the family's tradition of creating deeply personal, emotionally rich fragrances. His masterpieces — Habit Rouge, Vétiver, Samsara, and Héritage — are cornerstones of the perfume canon. Jean-Paul brought a more modern, sometimes daring sensibility to the Guerlain tradition, while always maintaining the house's legendary commitment to the finest raw materials.
