La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain was created in 2009 by Delphine Jelk, initially for a fairly confidential purpose. Indeed, it was only sold in Guerlain's Parisian boutique. Nevertheless, at the time, it met with great success among customers. After a few small changes, it was then marketed on a larger scale, starting in 2012. It has therefore been 10 years that its renown has remained intact. To celebrate its anniversary, Guerlain decided, in 2022, to give it more power. This is how La Petite Robe Noire Intense was born.
The story of La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain begins in 2009. At first, the fragrance was intended to be sold only in the Guerlain boutique on the Champs Élysées. Given its success, the house decided to expand its distribution and imagine variations of it. In 2016, Guerlain expanded its wardrobe to the great delight of its fans, with La Petite Robe Noire Intense. Contrary to what one might think, this version of La Petite Robe Noire Intense is meant to be fresher and softer than the original.
Thierry Wasser, the magician of the house of Guerlain
Born in Switzerland, in Lausanne, Thierry Wasser pursued studies in botany. From childhood, he noticed that he had a very powerful sense of smell, greater than normal. He began his career as a nose at Firmenich. It was in June 2008 that Jean-Paul Guerlain named him director of creation. With him, Thierry Wasser quickly formed a father-son bond. He speaks of Jean-Paul Guerlain with tenderness and affection. Original and highly creative, Thierry Wasser wonderfully embodies the values of the tradition of the house of Guerlain. Thierry Wasser is a rare and highly intelligent creator. We owe him many of our great perfumes such as Idylle, Shalimar Cologne, Hypnôse (by Lancôme), and all the La Petite Robe Noire fragrances.
The gourmand blueberry-cotton candy accord
Like its predecessor, La Petite Robe Noire Intense is built around a gourmand accord. Here, blueberry is paired with cotton candy, a sweet treat and unmistakable memory of our childhood. The accord is then soft, sweet and irresistibly gourmand, like all those of the La Petite Robe Noire fragrances. This accord blends wonderfully with Bulgarian rose, which inevitably brings an ultra-feminine and romantic touch. Finally, the base is creamy, smooth and sensual, as it combines vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, and white musks. The bottle with its inverted heart-shaped cap is a work of art in its own right. With the drawing of the little black dress in India ink, La Petite Robe Noire Intense expands your wardrobe in a particularly joyful way.
La Petite Robe Noire Intense is a wonderful fragrance signed Thierry Wasser. A thoroughly gourmand fragrance, La Petite Robe Noire Intense is nevertheless lighter than its predecessor, and is considered an airy essence. The inclusion of cotton candy is not only original, but terribly addictive. Make no mistake, the gourmand character is indeed at the heart of La Petite Robe Noire Intense.
