Mon Guerlain

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, clean herbal flower, soothing and slightly soapy.

It opens on lavender and bergamot, moves through iris, jasmine sambac and rose, and settles on tahitian vanilla, coumarin and australian sandalwood.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
