Almond and orange blossom give this Guerlain release a soft, edible glow that feels bright rather than heavy. Ylang-ylang threads through with a creamy warmth, while benzoin and sandalwood add a resinous depth that keeps the sweetness from floating away. It is a fragrance that stays present through a long morning and into an afternoon without shrinking, leaving a clear trail that announces itself when you move through a sunlit room.

The sillage is enough that people notice you as you pass, and the scent lingers on a scarf or sleeve long after you have moved on to the next part of the day, still wrapping the wearer in that golden
