Guerlain
La Petite Robe Noire
“Parisian gourmand that draws bees — sweet, smart, occasionally too much.”
The take
What works
- ●Cherry-licorice-vanilla blend with a smoky black-tea twist
- ●Distinctive enough that wearers consistently get questions
- ●Excellent longevity and projection — earns its compliment-magnet rep
Trade-offs
- ●Cherry-licorice combo is polarizing — sample first
- ●Easily becomes cloying with over-application
