Another banger from the house of Guerlain Paris. I’ve been on a bit of an exploration streak, trying out the raspberry/leather incense smoke DNA, from the likes of scents such as Ombre Nomade, Cuir Infrarouge, and eventually coming to this absolute masterpiece from Guerlain.
It’s edible, smoky, almost slightly barbecue like in the opening. It’s intense and loud, and a beautiful contrast between a sour raspberry and light citrus, bridged nicely with a heavy, smoky tobacco heart with rose nuances, connected to a bridge of ambergris, amber, and wood.
Out of all of the DNA’s in this realm, this one is unique in its own level. It’s a beautiful, artistic scene. Incredibly strong performance as well. Not blind buy safe at all, but signature scent worthy. I’m considering placing this as a winter artistic signature for me, although it’s fighting for that spot with Ombre Nomade lol.
Absolutely beautiful scent. Guerlain has never missed. Highly recommend for my smoke lovers, and artistic enjoyers.
