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 Mon Guerlain

Mon Guerlain is the beautiful, addictive and seductive new scent from luxury brand Guerlain.

The fragrance is described as being a tribute to today’s femininity - a strong, free and sensual femininity and it has been inspired by Angelina Jolie who is in my opinion, one of the most stunning women in the world.

Categorised as an ‘oriental’ scent, Mon Guerlain is nothing like I expected it to be.

I was preparing for a strong, heady and overpowering fragrance but instead I experienced a soft, warm and sensual scent.

I love it!

I love everything about this fragrance actually.

Its iconic bottle is known as an ‘quadrilobe’, thanks to its stopper which is formed from one piece and features symmetrical shapes that form the overall outline of four partially-overlapping circles, resembling four lobes.

The clear stopper is adorned with a chic, gold ring and sits atop of a luxurious glass weight which features strong lines and the Guerlain name.

The bottle is the perfect reflection of the scent within; a contrast between powerful lines and soft curves, the perfect expression of contemporary femininity.

 

The fragrance itself features top notes of Bergmot, Carla and Lavender from provence, heart notes of Paradisone, Coumarin and Sambac Jasmine from India while base notes feature Iris, Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea and Album Sandalwood from Australia.

It is a wonderfully soft, warm and luxurious fragrance. 

I love its luxurious notes and the softness it possesses literally envelopes your senses.

Angelina Jolie is an inspired choice to front the fragrance as this is exactly the kind of scent I could imagine her wearing. 

Mon Guerlain is available now and 50ml costs £68.
