Launched by Jacques Guerlain in 1901, Voilette de Madame is an emblematic floral fragrance that captures the essence of early 20th-century elegance. The composition opens with a delicate mix of violet and ylang-ylang, creating a powdery sweetness that evokes the softness of a veil. As it evolves, iris and narcissus add depth to this floral bouquet, while sandalwood provides an earthy warmth. This fragrance is not just a scent but a proof of Guerlain’s commitment to using luxurious materials and innovation in perfumery.

Application Tips
Apply Voilette de Madame lightly — its longevity is notable, allowing the scent to develop gradually on your skin. The powdery notes are best appreciated close to the skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings.
Jacques Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 40 fragrances · b. 1874 · French
“When I created Shalimar, I was thinking of the great love stories — of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.”
Jacques Guerlain is one of the greatest perfumers who ever lived — the man who gave the world Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, and Vol de Nuit. As the third-generation perfumer of the House of Guerlain, he elevated the family craft into high art. Working in the legendary Guerlain laboratory on the Champs-Élysées, he drew inspiration from love, literature, and travel to create fragrances of unprecedented emotional depth. Shalimar, inspired by the gardens of the Taj Mahal and his love affair with a woman whose identity remains mysterious, is perhaps the most celebrated perfume in history.
