The Little Black Dress, Elevated to Perfection
Description
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum Absolue is the most refined and sophisticated expression of the iconic LPRN family — combining the power of an Eau de Parfum with the silky depth of an absolute. A vibrant floral fruity tribute to the rose, enriched with the woody earthiness of patchouli and wrapped in the most beautiful "black" notes of Guerlain's perfumery palette.
Created by perfumer Delphine Jelk, it opens with the trademark LPRN accord of cherry, almond and bergamot, unfolds into a smoky, floral heart of rose, tea and iris, and settles into a rich base of leather, patchouli and tonka bean. Presented in the iconic inverted heart bottle adorned in a gradient from black to intense pink.
