A cult fragrance from Guerlain, La Petite Robe Noire was created in 2009 by Delphine Jelk before being slightly reworked in 2012 by Thierry Wasser, and becoming known worldwide.
The trend could not have escaped anyone: since 2012, La Petite Robe Noire has been everywhere, whether on huge advertising billboards, in movie theaters, in every perfumery, or in countless women's bathrooms! Its small silhouette, with its jaunty step and disarming winks, immediately won over the public's heart. This time, however, La Petite Robe Noire has decided to don another iconic piece of the feminine wardrobe: the perfecto jacket. Focus on Guerlain's latest sexy creation, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto.
When Guerlain transforms its emblematic bottle
Even before discussing the scent of this new fragrance, let us begin by taking a closer look at its lovely bottle. Indeed, it will certainly look familiar, and for good reason… La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto has a bottle with the same silhouette as that of La Petite Robe Noire itself. But did you know that this container is, in fact, much older? By embracing this new fragrance, you will take a sort of journey through time and through the heritage of the house of Guerlain. The bottle of La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto draws directly on those of L'Heure Bleue and Mitsouko, two fragrances created at the beginning of the 20th century by the house. It features, notably, comma-shaped shoulders as well as an inverted heart-shaped cap. However, whereas it was once transparent, it has traded its clarity for an entirely black, opaque lacquer. This is a way of evoking the perfecto, an emblematic leather piece of the feminine wardrobe. From now on, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto is no longer as demure as before. It indeed has a sexy and rebellious edge that suits it perfectly!
The gourmand ingredients of La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto
On the scent side, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto is built entirely around gourmand character. This new fragrance was created, like its predecessor, by the talented Thierry Wasser. The official nose of the house of Guerlain since 2006, he is today regarded as one of the greatest perfumers in the world. Moreover, it is not without reason that he is the only perfume creator to hold this position at Guerlain without belonging to the family lineage… Here, he chose to play in the register of gourmand character. Thus, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto opens on a juicy, tender, and fruity blend of cherry and almond. Black tea, for its part, lends more impertinence to this opening. However, as with the very first La Petite Robe Noire fragrance, it is rose that dominates the heart of the recipe. An emblematic plant of feminine perfumery, it is here accompanied by the gourmand character of licorice. The base of La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto then gradually shifts toward a more animalic and sensual sillage. It is composed of leather and black musk. Patchouli brings elegance to the whole. Finally, tonka bean wraps everything in extreme sweetness.
