Launched in 2001 by Jean-Paul Guerlain, Purple Fantasy is a Floral Green fragrance that combines the freshness of citrus and green tea with the warmth of powdery woods and sweet coconut. The opening notes of bergamot and orange are crisp and invigorating, while apricot adds a touch of fruity sweetness. As it develops, jasmine and white florals take center stage, creating a delicate and romantic heart. The base notes of sandalwood and cedar provide a grounding warmth that ties the entire composition together.

Application Tips
For best results, apply Purple Fantasy to pulse points like your wrists and neck. The citrus and green tea notes are particularly bright in the first hour, so a light application allows them to shine without overpowering the delicate floral heart that follows.
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.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet elegance of an afternoon spent lounging on a sun-drenched terrace, where the scent of fresh jasmine and white florals mingles with the sweet aroma of ripening fruit.
