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.

Application Tips
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.
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.
