Guerlain Rose Cherie was released as part of the L'Art et La Matiere Collection in 2021. Created by Delphine Jelk, it is inspired by the Montmartre merry-go-round in Paris. Notes of rose, almond, heliotrope, raspberry, musk, tonka bean and violet. Guerlain Rose Cherie is an eau de parfum, EDP.
From the brand - "'Rose Chérie, it's the delight of a kiss at the bend of a street, it's the enchantment of a merry-go-round in Montmartre, it's the chic of Paris, it's life in pink,' explains the pafumer Delphine Jelk. A dapper, romantic score, built around the cosmetic effect of the pink-violet duo (in the vein of a Lipstick Rose by Frédéric Malle or a Misia from the Exclusives by Chanel), suffused with heliotropin and tonka bean."
Fragrantica - "This is absolutely stunning - I can't believe I have only just had the pleasure of spritzing it. So bright and vibrant, fun and youthful but in the most elegant way. Roses undoubtedly lead the way, but violet cheers it on. The addition of heliotrope brings a gradual eruption of white flowers, softened with powder, and there’s a sherbet-like tang behind every note. I was mesmerised by this, and it went straight to my favourites list"
Fragrantica - "Rose Cherie was love at first sniff. This fragrance has Guerlain quality with a youthful, yet elegant presence. It has a light, airy rose with a raspberry touch. I was on the fence about buying this for myself as I do consider it unisex like the rest of the art and material collection. As I spent more time with it I decided it was a little too feminine for me, but I did purchase a bottle for my wife. This fragrance had to part of my life. It’s absolutely beautiful."
Fragrantica - "A beautifully fragrant, photorealistic, fresh, young, blushing pink rosy rose. Dry down veers slightly vintage as violet enters, sweetly powdering rose ever so delicately. But this tender rose maintains her vernal attributes; the powder matures her just enough to keep her from becoming either too girly or too geriatric. This elegant DNA is unmistakably legacy Guerlain. Very French, very feminine, très chic."
Fragrantica - "How is not bitter almond listed in the notes? The opening of this is heavy on the bitter almond, it smells almost like amaretto. With time it turns into this fresh rose that is sweet, but not overwhelming. It smells surprisingly clean, very girly. But there definitely IS bitter almond in the beginning, you can't convince me this is just roses and violets and musk!!! Very modern for something from Guerlain and I LOVE it."
