Jean-Paul Guerlain launched Mayotte in 2006 as a floral masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of an exotic island. The fragrance opens with bright frangipani and neroli, creating a luminous freshness before diving into the heart of tuberose and ylang-ylang. These rich florals are underscored by a warm vanilla base, which is complemented by the earthy tones of sandalwood and vetiver. Mayotte is a composition that speaks to the lasting elegance for which Guerlain is known.

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.
