Guerlain Mon Guerlain was released in 2017, created by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. It is a fresh oriental with a fairly gourmandish feel as well. Opening on lavender, it gets a sweetened jasmine/iris fused in with lots of creaming vanilla. It is not a heavy gourmand at all, it is light.
Notes of Carla Lavender from Provence, Sambac Jasmine from India, Album Sandalwood from Australia and Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea. This is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From Influenster - "When you spray it initially, it seems a little overpowering and could be a little off-putting, but after a minute the scent settles in and an entirely new profile of aromas can be detected. It becomes extremely subtle and full-bodied. I like this scent because of the complexity it provides. It makes me feel as if my scent embodies the type of woman I am - complex and elegant."
From Bois de Jasmin - "Mon Guerlain also joins this group. It plays with time-tested favorites like fruity notes, gourmand patchouli, and soft, citrusy jasmine, and the end result is charming. Although the idea of sweet, fruity notes in the Guerlain context may seem incongruous at first, accustomed as we are to fruity-floral copycats, almost all of the Guerlain classics are powered by a combination of gourmand notes like vanilla and tonka beans and sweetened florals like rose and violet."
Mon Guerlain is lavender done very differently. Many of us are familiar with lavender smelling a bit harsh and herbal in masculine fougeres. The lavender in Mon Gerlain is just the opposite- it is soft and fresh, like a soft breeze across a lavender field in Provence in summer. Soft, refreshing, with a nice vanilla note to round it out, it has good sillage and longevity as well. A perfume for the ages.
This perfume is the most beautiful, creamy, comforting, elegant fragrance out there. It has good lasting power oh, but it is not overwhelming. You definitely have to try this if you've not smelt it before oh, you'll love it.
