La Petite Robe Noire Velours, and Guerlain opens a new door in its fragrant wardrobe!
La Petite Robe Noire never stops making people talk about it and floods the world with its sparkling, contagious joie de vivre. Since its release in 2012, it has continued to reinvent itself and appear in every form. Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire now has a well-stocked wardrobe, further enriched today by a little velvet dress, infinitely sophisticated while preserving an absolute delicacy. So how did the house of Guerlain manage to capture so much chic and glamour in a single formula? Let us take a closer look at the new composition of La Petite Robe Noire Velours.
La Petite Robe Noire Velours and its fruity, sparkling breath
Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Velours expresses on its own every facet of femininity. Nevertheless, its top notes rather convey its childlike-woman side. Thus, this fragrance sets off on a particularly lively and tangy trio. Its opening highlights all the gourmand character of black cherry, enhanced by the freshness of bergamot and mandarin. The quintessential summer fruit, cherry makes our mouths water from its very first breath. Recreated in the laboratory, it evokes at once the sweetness of Japan while pairing it with summer luminosity. Bergamot and mandarin, for their part, rely on the vigor of citrus to unfold all the freshness of this new composition and provide more energy for everyday life.
Guerlain relies on a romantic and feminine bouquet
Then, the heart of Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Velours wraps itself in flowers. It relies on a duo well known to perfumers: rose and violet. Used since Antiquity in women's perfumes, rose immediately conveys all the sensuality of La Petite Robe Noire Velours. Here it gives a more classy and romantic flight to this juice, while pairing it with the powdery, retro breath of violet. La Petite Robe Noire Velours does not lack elegance and proudly displays its belonging to the floral fragrance category.
La Petite Robe Noire Velours, a fragrance for a sensual and sophisticated woman
Finally, La Petite Robe Noire Velours lets its full sensuality burst forth in its base. Its base notes offer a captivating, seductive harmony. Black tea expresses here all its temperament and gives more bite to this composition. It is enhanced by woody notes, dominated by the presence of patchouli, an ingredient very common in fragrance sillages. Indeed, patchouli has the gift of giving greater tenacity to the essences that contain it. It considerably improves the longevity of La Petite Robe Noire Velours. For added sweetness, tonka bean has been added to Guerlain's essence. Here it adds a touch of gourmand character and reinforces the almond, toasted, and caramelized aspect of the final breath of La Petite Robe Noire Velours.
