Fragrance Files – Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto

Categories: Beauty-Fragrance Files - Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto

Whatever perfume Guerlain decides to release, it seems they can do no wrong. Their floral line shines through La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto, this lovely creation that emanates instant appeal from the first moment you sense it in the air. A spritz of this will give you the confidence of a sharply-dressed fashionista heading out for a night on the town, even if you’re just heading to the office!

Editor Greta Kenyon is a fan of the fragrance.
There’s so much to say about this beauty from Guerlain. I’m not normally a “floral perfume” type of girl, but this scent has an edge to it that I love. You’re surrounded by rose, rose essence and rosewater, and if you tend to shy away from floral fragrances as I do, that may seem to be quite an overwhelming blend. But Guerlain is such a master at effortlessly tying in other scents to create a floral fragrance with depth, one thats not too floral and pretty but more seductive. You’ll get notes of citrus and almond, along with other fun elements like leather. This is a different perfume choice for me, because it is a floral but it really is a floral with a difference. Ultimately, I love this sensual scent. It’s versatile enough to take you from day to evening and if you’re a lover of perfume bottles, this beautiful heavy black glass vessel that fits so nicely into the palm of the hand will be sure to appeal.

Guerlain’s words about this daring fragrance…
From the Eau de Parfum Florale to the Eau de Toilette Florale, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto reinvents herself in a familiar yet distinctive guise, revealing a more luminous and mischievous facet of her personality. This original fragrance interpretation has been jointly fashioned by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. It expresses rose from every angle – rose water, essence and absolute, beautifully enhanced by almond over supple and tender black leather base notes.

Incredibly intense Grasse rose absolute calms down. It is deliciously refreshed by radiant Bulgarian rose essence and joyfully splashed with rose water and citrus notes. This floral expression gives the exquisite impression of putting your nose in the petals and smelling the flower still damp with dew. Bitter almond essence instantly appeals, offering a mouth-watering rose macaroon effect. At the base, the leather note becomes more tender, supple and fine, with a delicately smoky accent thanks to a black tea note, mellowed by a cloud of silky black musk.
