Inspired by Oriental treasures, created by Guerlain’s Perfumer
For this powerful and contrasted creation, Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s master Perfumer, drew inspiration from the noble material that is leather.
As an exclusive raw material, leather is part of a thousand-year tradition in Orient. With this fragrance, Thierry Wasser pays tribute to its strength, its softness and its sensuality. In its creation, the Perfumer builds diversity between the powerful woody leathery notes and the luminous osmanthus flower with its light fruity apricot facets.
PERFUMERS SECRET
For the sixth release of the Absolus d’Orient collection, Thierry Wasser creates a bewitching fragrance with the powerful leather note, while the osmanthus flower brings a sweet and apricot facet. The Virginian cedarwood adds structure to the deep and mysterious creation with the woody note that sublimates and unveils the diversity between the raw materials.
Unique and audacious, Bois Mystérieux, a creation by Thierry Wasser, Perfumer of the Guerlain Maison, is a modern interpretation of the concept of exoticism. Dark is the night… A deep night that only unveils its radiance through its intensity, adorned with touches of cedar, patchouli and myrrh.

Introducing a new olfactive family, Kilian Hennessy pays tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac-making family, and to his choice olfactory intoxicants for driving the night towards dawn. A first-time collaboration with French perfumer Benoit Lapouza, the perfume Angel’s Share is Kilian Hennessy’s most personal fragrance creation yet, inspired by his eighth-generation inheritance of Hennessy savoir-faire in cognac making. The perfume goes deep into the cellars of founder’s mind and memory, and into its most mysterious dimension: “la part des anges” or “angels’ share”— an evaporation of liquor in oak barrels that lifts, while aging, like a silent offering to the gods.
The Perfume: Much like a Master Perfumer who crafts accords and essences in a perfume, a Master Blender combines the eaux-de-vie in perfect proportions for an exceptional cognac. Angels’ Share contains the essence of Cognac derived from the liquor to lend it a natural caramel color. Opening with cognac oil, upon a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and Tonka bean absolute, the scent’s long-lasting notes of sandalwood, praline and vanilla make for a delicious finish, a rare concoction only angels should experience.
With his brand new olfactory family, Kilian Hennessy wishes to pay tribute to his heritage as heir to the famous French family of cognac producers and to its olfactory intoxicating substances that prolong the night until dawn . For his first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the taste of a “gin on the rocks” with a hint of lime, his wife’s favorite drink.
