Mon Guerlain

Lavender and vanilla sound like opposites, and in Mon Guerlain that’s exactly the point.

Guerlain uses lavender from Provence, fresh and aromatic, and Tahitian vanilla, which has floral, almond-like facets rather than plain sugar. Jasmine sambac links the two, and sandalwood adds a creamy woody texture.

So it isn’t a simple journey from citrus to sweet. It’s an aromatic flower and a soft, detailed vanilla sharing the same space all evening.

The quadrilobe bottle is a piece of house history too, based on a Guerlain design first introduced in 1908, with a four-lobed stopper and a gold detail.

The bottle size is 1.0 oz, Eau de Parfum.

For vanilla with a dry vetiver edge, see Lancôme’s Hypnose. Lavender-and-vanilla fans also love Ariana Grande’s Cloud. More from Guerlain.
