About the fragrances

Bouquet de Palmyre - Fragrance for Women

Fascinated by the Orient and Orientalist painting, Jean-Paul Guerlain has always drawn deep inspiration for the creation of his fragrances. Bouquet de Palmyre pays homage to the marvelous ancient city immortalized in the world heritage of humanity. With Palmyra, green oasis among the sands of Syria, the adventurous travelers and the slow caravans arise, carrying precious Levantine essences.

The marriage of marigold, blue chamomile and Egyptian geranium, enriched with Tunisian myrtle and Turkish rose absolute, brings to this fragrance sensuality and warmth both voluptuous and mystical. This overflowing bouquet affirms itself as a vibrant tribute to the femininity that it fully exalts.

Head Notes : Marigold of Egypt, Orange of Brazil, Cardamom of Guatemala, Saffron of Syria

Heart Notes : Turkey Rose, Tunisian Myrtle, Somalia Incense, Geranium from Egypt

Bottom Notes : Vetiver of Haiti, Patchouli of Indonesia, Blue Chamomile of Egypt, Hay of France

Calice des Fleurs - Fragrance for Women

It is in the charms of poetry, another muse of Jean-Paul Guerlain, that is the inspiration of Calice des Fleurs. The name of this perfume comes from the rhythms of Alfred de Musset's poem, "Lucie", which the perfumer particularly cherishes. As a lover of letters and literature, he is thinking of moving towards them later. But at sixteen years old, he composes his first perfume, and it will finally be with scents and their fascinating trails that he will now write his own destiny.

Calice des fleurs is a love poem, a tribute to the feminine beauty that enchants the senses just as a word sometimes delights the heart and the mind. Heady scents overflow the bottle in a seductive harmony where the delicious notes of the Galbanum of Iran, Jasmine of Egypt and the Tonka bean married in the background to the Ylang Ylang, reveal an ode to the beautifully harmonious and passionate Woman.

Head Notes : Galbanum from Iran, Marigold from Egypt, Yellow Mandarin from Italy, Bergamot from Italy

Heart Notes : Egyptian Jasmine, Indian Mimosa, Russian Clary Sage, Rose

Bottom Notes : Somalia Incense, Ylang Ylang from Comoros, Tonka Bean from Brazil

Aqua Vallis - Fragrance for Women and for Men

Aqua Vallis, literally Water from the Valley, celebrates the green, flowery and hilly place where Jean-Paul Guerlain was born. Property of the family in Yvelines area since 1867, the Valley is a garden of Eden in which the perfumer cultivates many flowers and plants brought from his travels at the end of the world. It’s also where he raises his favorite horses. Combining his childhood memories with his traveler's memories, Jean-Paul Guerlain deploys the score of Aqua Vallis as a melody that resonates with warm cardamom tones, pink pepper accents and radiant mandarin notes. The incense of Somalia is balanced with the candor of the rose ; and the strength of patchouli unites with the sensuality of vanilla. Perfume both masculine and feminine, Aqua Vallis is developed as a serene dream by the perfumer-creator who infuses in this bottle the elegant maturity of his unique experience filled with harmonious reminiscences.

Head Notes : Yellow Mandarin of Italy, Madagascar Pink Pepper, Cardamom of Guatemala

Heart Notes : Somali Incense, Madagascar Black Pepper, Rose

Bottom Notes : Patchouli from Indonesia, Labdanum from Spain, Musk, Vanilla

Acapulco - Fragrance for Men

Acapulco, mythical city of Mexico struggling with the Pacific, is also the name of one of the favorite horses of Jean-Paul Guerlain. Experienced horseman, the master perfumer perpetuates in this powerful perfume his admiration and deep attachment to the equestrian world and its exquisite elegance. Spicy vanilla and clove in head, a touch of velvety almond in heart, amber and cedar wood in the bottom, with a subtle and sensual note brought by musk, Acapulco is a harmony with character, epic, that pays homage with nobility to the modern, ardent and dynamic man.

Top Notes: Vanilla, Clove

Heart Notes: Almond, Orange Blossom

Bottom Notes: Musk, Tonka Bean, Cedar, Amber
