Fragrance note guide
The full fragrance story

You reach for this when the evening calls for something with history in it, a scent that remembers candlelit rooms and heavier silk. Warm almond and incense settle onto skin like the moment a room goes quiet.

The opening is a hush of bergamot against almond and incense, smoke curling before it softens. At the heart, iris turns powdery beside rose, while ethylvanillin, amber, and opoponax thicken the air into something resinous and warm. The base is where it lingers longest, Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin wrapped in musk and a whisper of leather, a trail that reads closer to skin than perfume.

For the woman who dresses for herself first, fall dinners, opera nights, the kind of winter evening that ends late. Poured as an Extrait de Parfum at 30% oils, in the spirit of Guerlain's original, hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX.

Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on award ceremonies, closing dinners, and moments that ask you to look the part. Made for our Fall selection.
