4 Guerlain fragrances
Insolence Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Violet in its loudest form: owners reach for Parma-violet sweets, grape candy and lipstick powder, with red berries and orange blossom behind it.
Mitsouko
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Soft peach against earthy patchouli and moss, with citrus and spice sharpening the opening.
Shalimar Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). To some reviewers the sharp bergamot opening reads rubbery or animalic before the softer vanilla arrives; beneath it lie powdery vanilla and tonka, smoky leather and resin.
Vétiver Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Guerlain's note list combines bright citrus with nutmeg and pepper, followed by earthy vetiver, tobacco and tonka bean.
