Since 2012, Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire has made Paris its kingdom. The embodiment of a chic, glamorous and modern Parisian woman, it is a fragrance now known worldwide. Building on its success, it even sees new variations of its scent appear year after year. In 2023, it seems Guerlain decided to bring a springtime breeze to its perfumery lineup. This is how La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry came about.
La Petite Robe Noire was born in 2008. At the time, it was a creation exclusively reserved for the Guerlain boutique on the Champs-Élysées. Then, more and more customers began requesting it. The perfumer Thierry Wasser therefore decided to refine it, making it brighter and more couture. This is how La Petite Robe Noire was released on a large scale in 2012. In 2023, it remains the quintessence of Parisian chic. For the occasion, this feminine fragrance also treats itself to a new, more springlike edition: La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry. Here is our review.
Olfastory’s review
La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry, a fragrance at the crossroads of cultures with infectious joy
La Petite Robe Noire is a quintessentially French fragrance, embodying the image of a joyful Parisian woman whose heels echo through cobbled streets. Nevertheless, as the many advertisements for this fragrance suggest, La Petite Robe Noire is also a free-spirited traveler. In this 2023 edition, it seems Guerlain decided to take us well beyond the borders of Europe. As the name La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry suggests, its composition contains cherry blossom, emblematic of Japan. La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry transports us, on a beautiful spring day, to the other side of the globe. The result is a symbol of freedom that sets hearts racing and immediately sets the body in motion. The message is clear: whoever loves me, follow me!
The carefully chosen ingredients of La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry
La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry also captivates through the nobility of its composition. First, in keeping with respect for the environment, this fragrance is crafted with alcohol from sustainably grown French beets. Next, its rose is custom-designed for Guerlain. It results from a bold blend of a more powerful Bulgarian rose and a more honeyed Damask rose. Instantly recognizable, it leaves an indelible mark on the skin. Finally, the cherry blossom accord contained in this fragrance is upcycled. In other words, because Guerlain is committed to making the most of every raw material, it is a cherry water derived from the dehydration of fruit originally intended for the pastry industry. With Guerlain, nothing is wasted and everything is transformed! This beautifully highlights the radiant floralcy of this new fragrance.
The timeless bottle of Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry
Finally, as for the bottle, the prestige of Guerlain's inverted heart-shaped glass case remains undiminished. Did you know that this perfume bottle was designed over a century ago! Yet it has weathered the ages without a single wrinkle. Its sensual shoulders recall those of a woman. Its bottle is the product of extreme finesse and extraordinary glasswork. The new pink gradient of La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry, meanwhile, evokes the color of a cherry tree in bloom.
