Thierry Wasser is the first perfumer from the Guerlain house not to bear the name of the brand.

Also, if he was chosen other than by blood, it is because he displays an extraordinary talent. In this sense, he appears to be a worthy successor worthy of the prestige of his elders. This sensitive, refined and elegant designer is already at the origin of several great successes for Guerlain. We owe him in particular the most famous silhouettes of perfumery, La Petite Robe Noire. Well, fans of this already cult essence will be delighted to learn that it will soon be available in a new version. Thus, La Petite Robe Noire Sous le Vent Eau de Parfum Intense will appear on your shelves in September 2016.

The evolution of La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain

Before telling you about this new fragrant opus, how about taking a quick step back to rediscover the history of the famous Little Black Dress?? This first appeared in 2009. However, it was only sold at the time in the Guerlain store on the Champs-Élysées. However, the public very quickly marked a deep attraction to this perfume. This is how Guerlain decided to slightly modify its composition and extend its marketing to the whole world. The success was resounding then. It must be said that La Petite Robe Noire had a very special muse that did not fail to make people talk about it. Indeed, it was embodied by a figurine drawn in Indian ink and walking the streets of Paris with a perky step. It was then simply impossible to resist her charm. Also, faced with this immense success, the Guerlain house decided to revisit La Petite Robe Noire on several occasions. 2013 was marked by the appearance of Eau de Toilette La Petite Robe Noire, a fresher variant of this cult fragrance. Then, a year later, a Couture edition appeared for an even more chic and glamorous look. The year 2015, for its part, saw the appearance of an ideal dress for spring, the Pétales Dress. Also, this time it is a concentrate of fruity freshness that is offered to us with La Petite Robe Noire Sous le Vent.

The new Intense Little Black Dress in the Wind

The Intense Little Black Dress In The Windis presented as being a smoother and fresher composition than its predecessors. This time it is offered to us in a blue bottle, a shade that immediately distinguishes it from its predecessors. This has the design of a little black dress in a very Marilyn Monroe style. However, some elements of the other vials are still present. The shape of its case is essentially the same as before. We find the feminine curvature of its shoulders as well as its cap that looks like an inverted heart. This calls to be open and thus lets us glimpse the fresh and fruity scent of La Petite Robe Noire Sous le Vent. Its composition begins with an invigorating burst of bergamot. This citrus fruit is accompanied by the fruity tones of blueberry as well as the sweetness of cotton candy. Indeed, it was inconceivable to take away the sweet aspect of La Petite Robe Noire, a true trademark of this collection. Then, the heart of La Petite Robe Noire Intense turns towards more romanticism and femininity. This one is especially full of Bulgarian rose. Finally, it all ends with more depth and smoothness. Its base also contains patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla and white musks.

In 2016, the house of Guerlain had made a name for itself by developing an exceptional perfume called Amber Eternal. This one joined the collection of the Absolus d’Orient. Following on from this fragrance, Guerlain now presents Oud Essentiel. This unisex juice is offered to us in limited distribution and highlights one of the most precious woods used in perfumery. Marketed in a 125 ml bottle, this one already promises to enchant you with its mysterious and madly sensual aura.

Guerlain’s Absolus d’Orient collection

The Absolus d’Orient collection pays tribute to exotic and noble raw materials in perfumery. Thus, through this assortment of fragrances, Guerlain takes us on a journey. These essences are promises of escape. Guerlain has already created a succession of Santal Royal and Ambre Eternal perfumes . From now on, it is the turn of oud wood to serve as a source of inspiration.

A very popular material in the East, it is also one of the most expensive. Moreover, its price sometimes even exceeds that of gold. The oud leaves behind a woody, leathery and animal trail. Very popular with initiates, the oud has also been used for centuries for medicinal and spiritual purposes. Thus, the new perfume from Guerlain has a universal and timeless scope. If this raw material has been ignored by perfumers for many years, it has been of interest to this sector for some time. It is therefore quite natural that Guerlain turned to this wood to make this new exceptional perfume.

The bewitching fragrance of Oud Essentiel

Oud Essentiel is an essence that we owe to the talented perfumer from the Guerlain house: Thierry Wasser. Occupying this position since 2008, he greatly contributes to spreading the image of this brand throughout the entire planet. This time, he chose to sublimate the oud wood with a combination of spices, flowers and leather. Oud Essentiel takes off with a scent of saffron. Once again, through this choice of ingredients, Guerlain affirms its prestigious image. Indeed, saffron is also called “red gold”. This spice is also one of the most expensive in the world. The rose then takes its place at the heart of this essence. It brings here more nobility and gradually gives way to a more woody trail.

This contains cedar and guaiac wood. Leather, on the other hand, brings more animality to this perfume. Finally, Oud Essentiel is still coated with incense, revealing a more mysterious side. Like each of the essences in this collection, this one is presented to us in a cylindrical bottle entirely lacquered in black. Inspired by the silhouette of Guerlain’s legendary bee bottle, it intensifies its share of mystery more than ever and instantly plunges us into a very oriental universe. Thus, its label is dotted with numerous arabesques and its golden color only gives more chic to its visual.
