Guerlain Promenade des Anglais perfume

With them, the nose of the Guerlain house officiates like an artist and composes its formulas like works of art. Also, in this year 2016, Guerlain has just enriched its assortment with a brand new perfume called Promenade des Anglais.

Guerlain exports itself close to the Mediterranean

Generally speaking, Guerlain perfumes very often evoke the City of Paris. Indeed, this is where this brand has always been based. However, once is not customary, Guerlain has decided to leave the capital to go to the south of France. Promenade des Anglais is a scent similar to a chic weekend escape along the Côte d’Azur. Thus, it is about a perfume which smells good the sun of Provence. His inspiration comes directly from this long bay along the sea. Formerly 7 km long, the Promenade des Anglais was surrounded by villas with lush gardens. Today, these have given way to palaces, casinos and opera houses. If this long avenue is so called, it is quite simply because it was built by the English at the beginning of the 19th century. It runs along what is called “the Bay of Angels”. It is an essential place on the Riviera characterized by its mild climate, its bright colors, its many joggers,… In short, it is a place where life is good.

The Provencal scent of the Promenade des Anglais

It is therefore a little of the sweetness of life typical of Nice that we find in the perfume of Guerlain called Promenade des Anglais. Like each of the brand juices, this one was made by perfumer Thierry Wasser. This fragrance contains multiple contrasting aromas. It begins with a striking citrus-based freshness. We notice in particular the presence of bergamot and grapefruit. The fig, for its part, brings a more vegetal facet. However, its tasty flesh also reinforces the fruity aspect of this essence. This goes wonderfully with the powdery elegance of violet and iris, one of the noblest flowers on the perfumer’s entire palette. The whole is then wrapped in a milky undertone while the vetiver offers more depth and character to its wake. The whole is then contained in the legendary Flacon aux Abeilles by Guerlain. All in transparency, this one lets us glimpse a bluish-colored juice which is not without reference to the famous blue chairs along the Promenade des Anglais. Finally, a purple bow further adorns her collar with elegance.

If Guerlain made this perfume before the attack on July 14, 2016, which took place on the Promenade des Anglais, in support of the victims, the brand donates all sales of this juice to the support fund for the victims of this tragedy.
