Mon Guerlain

EDP2017Thierry Wasser, Delphine Jelk

“Lavender fields cut with warm vanilla — simple in concept, gorgeous in execution.”

Lavender and vanilla in Guerlain's classic Guerlinade tradition — Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk's 2017 launch became one of the defining lavender-vanilla releases of the late 2010s. A jasmine sambac heart with sandalwood depth in the base. Daytime, year-round outside of summer. Spawned multiple flankers (Intense, Florale, Sensuelle, EDT).
