Un Dimanche à la Campagne

If this one is also named Un Dimanche à la Campagne, its purpose is rather to embody a moment of calm and relaxation. It is, more precisely, an Eau de Cologne, a typology of fragrances deeply rooted in the history of Guerlain.

The history of Guerlain's Eaux de Cologne

Guerlain is without doubt one of the oldest French houses in the world of luxury. It was founded in 1928 by Pierre François Pascal Guerlain. It has since strived to evolve with its time without ever forgetting its exceptional heritage and the different eras it has gone through. It is in this context that Guerlain created this Eau de Cologne. Indeed, the very first fragrance of this type was created by Pierre François Pascal Guerlain in 1853. It was named L’Eau de Cologne Impériale. It was created specifically for Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III. The quality of this product allowed Guerlain to become the official perfume supplier to Her Majesty. Although L’Eau de Cologne Impériale was at first reserved exclusively for the imperial family, it greatly contributed to boosting Guerlain's reputation. It is therefore a tribute to its history that this great house delivers here. Nevertheless, it remains a modernized Eau de Cologne. Indeed, these fragrances often have a reputation for lacking longevity. Yet Guerlain's expertise allows Un Dimanche à la Campagne to endure beautifully over the hours.

The airy fragrance of Un Dimanche à la Campagne

This new fragrance is the work of Thierry Wasser, official nose of the house of Guerlain. His name alone would almost suffice to signal a guarantee of quality. Indeed, apart from him, every perfumer who succeeded one another at Guerlain came from the family line. Thierry Wasser alone arrived there solely through his exceptional talent. It is precisely his sense of harmony and his subtlety that are found in the fragrance Un Dimanche à la Campagne. It opens with a very fresh burst of bergamot. The sparkling character of this fruit heralds the profusion of fresh, aromatic herbs running throughout this fragrance. Orange blossom, for its part, underscores the purity and sun-kissed radiance of this fragrance. The whole then gradually evolves toward a muskier veil inviting relaxation. Un Dimanche à la Campagne is unquestionably a fragrance full of lightness. It thus provides a sense of fullness and calm in everyday life. It invites one to relax and enjoy a moment of pure sweetness. It is like a parenthesis of well-being to rediscover day after day.
