Notes
Jacques Guerlain's 1925 masterpiece, inspired by the love story of the Taj Mahal, is the original oriental — sparkling bergamot and lemon over an iris-jasmine-rose heart, melting into the legendary vanilla-incense-opoponax 'Guerlinade' base.
Scent story
To me this smells like the original oriental, and it still rules — sparkling bergamot and lemon bright over an iris-jasmine-rose heart, timeless and true. The legendary vanilla-incense-opoponax base melts underneath, warm and golden, leather and sandalwood adding depth. Inspired by the greatest love story ever built. It is history you can wear. Beginner-friendly — the classic warm oriental, smooth and eternal.
