Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette, 30ml at John Lewis & Partners

An absolutely essential and utterly irresistible perfumed creation. The legendary "heart-shaped" bottle has been boldly reinterpreted with a modern touch. Its crystalline transparency, fading from black to powdery pink, reveals the silhouette of the little black dress, ready to dance!

 

The first arabesque is an armful of fresh flowers. This bouquet of roses, jasmine and orange blossom gives off a delicate fragrance. Cherry, apple and blackcurrant take centre stage, refreshed by sparkling green notes. Last but not least, tempting notes of white amber subtly reveal themselves. A swathe of silky musk notes envelops everything in a soft halo. My admirers applaud at such grace and elegance!
