La Petite Robe Noire

The iconic little black dress was the muse behind the new fragrance "La Petite Robe Noire", available in February, from the house of Guerlain. Merci for this exquisite collaboration between fashion, style and French beauty!

                                                    

Pour sa nouvelle fragrance, Guerlain s'est inspiré du basique absolu de la mode : la petite robe noire. Un incontournable de notre dressing qui ne tardera pas à devenir un incontournable de notre vanity. La fragrance, un fruité gourmand, débute sur des notes de citron de Sicile, de réglisse et d'amande, sur un cœur de rose et thé fumé pour terminer sur un fond de muscs et de vanille. Elle se love dans un flacon vintage qui rappelle les premiers flacons de la maison, gravé d'une petite robe noire. La petite robe noire de Guerlain sera disponible en février en exclusivité dans les boutiques Guerlain.

My personal synopsis and translastion of the French explanation above:
For the new fragrance from the house of Guerlain, their inspiration came from the iconic fashion & wardrobe staple, the Little Black Dress. The LBD is a cornerstone of any woman's closet and this fragrance will quickly become a favorite on our dressing table. The fragrance is described as "un fruité gourmand"; beginning on notes of Sicilian lemon, licorice and almond, the heart of this fragrance is of rose and smoked tea, it then finishes on notes of musks and vanilla. This delightful perfume is bottled in a vintage style Guerlain bottle that reminds us of some of the first from this company, although this one includes an engraved LBD. Available this February exclusively in Guerlain boutiques. 


With
boutiques scattered throughout each continent, gentlemen, there is no excuse to not pick this little lovely up as a Valentine's gift for your sweetie!

Throughout my years living in Paris, I made countless trips to the Champs-Elysées. I remember, on many occasions, passing the Guerlain boutique only to find a group of beautiful VIP people holding champagne glasses, enjoying tray passed hors d'oeuvres and exploring the latest product or service from this very well known beauty and fragrance house. The vivid images of those petites soirées style Française is forever etched in my mind!


Until next time...
Whether you own a little black dress (LBD) or not, be sure to include this new wardrobe staple into your daily routine. This February spritz on a little of La Petite Robe Noire before running out the door!
Guaranteed to feel a tad chic, even in your yoga pants!
