Inspired by the scent of a perfectly ripe cantaloupe on a sunlit summer afternoon, Counterplay is designed to disrupt the mundane and seize the momentum. The fragrance unfolds with a fruity top note that evokes a sense of joy. At its heart, a floral bouquet of honeyed osmanthus and creamy ylang-ylang add a layer of warmth to the juicy top note. The dry-down of patchouli and sandalwood maintain a dynamic balance and add a sophisticated dimension to the final composition.
FRAGRANCE
Blackcurrant berries harmonise with almond tree flowers, while transparent rose softens the rise of mimosa. The delicate heart palpitates with mimosa flowers. The base blends carnal accents of hibiscus seed with the softness of almond tree wood.
DESCRIPTION
Champs-Elysées is a tribute to the City of Light and to Guerlain’s flagship located at 68, Avenue des Champs-Elysées. This joyful floral fragrance celebrates lilac and mimosa.
Embrace your perfume in the mythical Bee Bottle.
Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoléon III, this precious bottle is adorned with the symbol of the Empire: the bee, which is now La Maison Guerlain’s emblem.
A 1950s prophetic masterpiece that was kept hidden for half a century for being ahead of its time, worn only by the perfumer’s wife, until now.
Prune fuses the modernity of cucumber and melon notes with the elegant classicism of rose and jasmine, blurring the perfume to the point of obscurity and rendering its ingredients unidentifiable.
An initial impression of innocence and flower-shop freshness disperses to reveal a more lustful tuberose: these dark and spicy notes surrender in turn to ones of milky comfort, enhanced by white musk, to draw out tuberose’s aura of lingering sensuality.
Erotic flower.
Carnal Flower contains by far the highest concentration of natural tuberose in the perfume industry.
