Guerlain Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose

 Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose is the exquisite new scent from Guerlain. 

A tribute to today's femininity, strong, free and sensual it’s been unsurprisingly  inspired by Angelina Jolie. 

The newest addition to the Mon Guerlain range continues to explore the different facets of femininity with a composition that celebrates the joy of individuality and being yourself.

Bloom of Rose (In case the name didn’t give it away)  is a floral Eau de Toilette which has been created like a bouquet.

Sambac jasmine,Carla lavender, vanilla tahitensis and Australian sandalwood (all signature notes of Mon Guerlain) are combined with neroli and bulgarian rose to form a radiant and lively fragrance the exudes elegance and femininity.

Housed within the now iconic bottle the juice within posesses a soft pike hue while the hot pink necklace around the stopper hints and the feminine and floral notes within.

Considering I dislike floral scents, I’ve rather fallen in love with Bloom of Rose.

Top notes of Carla lavender blend with sensual sambac jasmine, radiant neroli and happy and fresh rose to create an abundant and fragrant bouquet before base notes of  familiar sweet vanilla and warming sandalwood wrap the scent in sensuality.

It is a beautiful combination of notes and actually despite its name, Rose does not over power or stand out above the other elements within the scent. 

It is a luminous and respendent white floral bouqet which is ruled by the Rose.

Guerlain Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose is available now and costs £65 for 50ml.

Guerlain Mon Guerlain Florale

Mon Guerlain Florale is the beautiful new fresh, floriental scent from Guerlain.

A lighter, softer and more floral interpretation of its iconic predecessor, Florale has been inspired by a flower unfolding in the morning dew.

What a gorgeous image.

“For this composition, we wanted to focus on the floral aspect and we have fashioned it like a bouquet of white flowers, heightening the Sambac Jasmine, which is an integral part of Mon Guerlain’s identity” explains Delphine Jelk, who co-created the perfume with the master perfumer Thierry Wasser.

I’m already a long-time fan of the original Mon Guerlain (which is reviewed here) so I was excited to discover this new edition.

It is housed within the same iconic bottle however this time its clear stopper is adorned with a chic, rose gold coloured ring, matching the pretty soft pink nectar within.

The bottle is the perfect reflection of the fragrance inside; a contrast between powerful lines and soft curves, the perfect expression of contemporary femininity which Guerlain have successfully managed to capture within a fragrance. 

Florale features many of the same notes as the original, with the addition of Peony and Ylang Ylang.

Top notes of Bergamot and Lavender blend into a white bouquet of Sambac Jasmine, Peony note, Paradisone and Ylang Ylang before base notes of Iris, Vanilla Note and creamy sandalwood round off the fragrance leaving a radiant, sensuous and beautifully feminine fragrance.

Delicate and sensual it offer a freshness and lightness that envelopes your senses and actually brightens your day!

If Mon Guerlain is too decadent and deep for you then Florale will undoubtedly be perfect.

Mon Guerlain Florale is available now from The Perfume Shop and costs £62.99 for 50ml.

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Lipcheek

Guerlain’s La Petite Robe Noire Lipcheek tinted gel for lips and cheek has to be one of the most beautiful products I have ever come across.

Lets just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this bottle.

See what I mean!?

This tinted 2 in 1 gel can be used on both your lips and cheeks (as the name suggests!) and is fab for those who love a matching cheek and lip colour and is perfect for super quick application for gals on the go.

While the vibrant pink of the bottle and fluorescent pink colour of the gel might be off putting and scary, it needn’t be. 

The bright pink hue actually becomes a delicate, sheer pink when applied and its universal colour reacts to your skin’s PH and adapts to bring out a natural pinky tone.

The gel itself is beautifully light in texture and smells gorgeous. 

Inspired by the fragrance La Petite Robe Noire, accents of bergamot, rose and raspberry offer a gentle, floral fruity fragrance and yummy flavour which makes it a pleasure to apply.

When applying to your face, use the applicator to drop a little of the product onto your cheek and let the texture melt by massaging your skin in circular movements.

Easy to blend, you can build the colour intensity from a subtle pink to a more vibrant shade by applying more layers of the gel.

You can apply the product to your lips in the same way and once again you can build the colour to suit your mood and desired look.

The gel dries super quickly and I can confirm that the colour lasts for AGES! It gently stains your skin meaning you are left with a fresh look all day long.

Even on your lips which often need frequent re-application the gel stands the test of time!

It is SUCH a gorgeous little product and is presented so beautifully you can’t help but fall in love with it. 

The Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Lipcheek in shade 002 Pink Tie is available now from Debenhams and costs £23.50.
