La Petite Robe Noire Légère

Guerlain unveils its Eau de Parfum Légère La Petite Robe Noire. La Petite Robe Noire appeared in 2012, firmly determined to conquer the world with its dancing gait, its devastating winks, and its promising smiles.

La Petite Robe Noire has not stopped enchanting us since its promising debut in our fragrant wardrobes in 2012. Having become the bestselling fragrance of the house of Guerlain, La Petite Robe Noire has been declined into multiple bottles, always surprising us further. Thierry Wasser, the house's official perfumer, chose in 2018 to offer us a lovely hippie dress that puts the rose in the spotlight in La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Légère...

Until the arrival of Thierry Wasser, the house of Guerlain was a house where perfumers succeeded one another from generation to generation without ever being strangers to one another. Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, Aimé Guerlain, Jacques Guerlain, then Jean-Paul Guerlain each in their own way built the reputation of this venerable house founded in 1828. In any case, there was no longer a Guerlain descendant to hand this powerful torch to, and it was Thierry Wasser who became the house's official perfumer in 2008.

That same year, Delphine Jelk presented to a limited audience her brand new creation, La Petite Robe Noire. Despite its limited quantities, the fragrance was a success that only asked to be reworked to be offered to the wider public. In 2012, after Thierry Wasser's recomposition, La Petite Robe Noire appeared, and it was an immediate success, just as its fragrant daughters would be over the years.

Thierry Wasser loves creation, but he also greatly enjoys the work of variations or rebirths around great fragrances, which requires great precision and meticulous respect for dosages. So we are hardly surprised to see the birth of a new version of La Petite Robe Noire, La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Légère, thoroughly springlike but above all filled with roses, one of the raw materials favored by both the perfumer and the house that employs him.

When the Bulgarian rose becomes the star of La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Légère

For Thierry Wasser, the composing perfumer of all the variations of La Petite Robe Noire and of many other Guerlain marvels, the work of research and gathering olfactory raw materials is at least as important as the work of creation in the laboratory. In fact, he does not hesitate to state that it is his encounters with the producers of fragrant essences that inspire him as he creates his fragrances. It is therefore highly likely that it was during a stay in Bulgarian lands that Thierry Wasser chose this marvelous rose to become the star of La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Légère.

Being at the heart of the making process influences my vision as a creator – because of my experience, today there are raw materials that I am particularly fond of. Thierry Wasser.

Thus La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Légère preserves the same floral and fruity accords as the original bottle of La Petite Robe Noire born in 2012. However, the cherry, the tea, and of course the rosewater are more present than ever, presenting the queen of flowers in all her most beautiful facets, both luminous and mysterious.

Immersed in its heart, the rose invites us on a journey of multiple scents: fruity, almondy, and floral; for the first time, the rose reveals itself. The original eau de parfum enhanced by rosewater for a light, delicate, and playful eau de parfum. Guerlain on La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Légère.
