In French, the word « lingerie » means underwear for EITHER sex. It is a neutral word and doesn’t have the same connotations of sexiness that the same word has in English-speaking countries. Many of the reviews below have missed the point. This is not supposed to be a sexy fragrance.

I got this in an online swap, so the bottle was part used. I don’t think that’s affected the fragrance though.
It’s lovely-a very light evanescent skin scent, more of a mist or the lingering notes from a body wash rather than an EDT. It’s not at all sexy or erotic-the term lingerie makes it sounds as though its designed for silk and satin clad seduction, although its far more innocent (I suppose ‘white cotton panties’ wouldn’t be too good a name for a fragrance though!).
I’ve been using it as a pillow spray rather than a fragrance-its subtle and understated but far nicer than the harsh chemical scent you get from fabric conditioners. I don’t think I would have bought this as a full bottle-it is expensive for what it is, but its a lovely touch of luxury.
It’s not a complex fragrance, its fairly linear with very soft notes of iris and violets, and some smooth vanilla without being overly sweet. It’s creamy and smooth, very gentle. I can’t comment on longevity because I fell asleep!

Lingerie is pretty expensive for such a simple fragrance mist or body mist that I could have bought from Victoria’s Secret. I’m not complaining because it’s such a pretty smell but it’s pretty shocking that the price was so high from their online store. This is one of my most expensive frags from this year! I was expecting something a tad more mature from Guerlain. This is a very light powdery floral fragrance. My nose detected rose and iris as powdery florals very dainty and similar to the rose and iris pairing in Shalimar Initial. There’s a dry down of vanilla which is very nice. It all turns into a very nice sort of musky amber and woods with a lot of vanilla. The scent is not very long lasting. It’s pleasant and makes for scenting your closets, lingerie drawers, and pillow/sheets/bedroom. I love the bottle. I have a huge bottle and I love the pink color but it’s not something I’d wear out in public with friends/girlfriends/dates. I’m keeping this in the bedroom. A boudoir fragrance of sweet vanilla and roses. I love roses and vanilla so this was a treat. Could have been worse. I like it. Thank you Guerlain.

Fragrance Review For Eau de Lingerie
By Guerlain
Notes
Iris Rose Vanilla Sandalwood Musk Ambrette
Guerlain and lingerie perfume don’t really go together in my book but I thought I’d give this a try. The Agent Provocateur and Victoria Secret perfumes can also smell more like day to day casual scents and body sprays. Guerlain has also made the Petit Robe Noir scents which I think are school-girlish. This is not. It’s more a body lotion and light body spray type of aroma. It does match up with little slips and nighties. But this is not a pheromone or sex bomb. You wear this with your nightie to bed, to sleep, not to sleep with someone. It’s a comforting relaxing sweet floral and vanilla scent to ease your entry into slumber land.
There is no top middle or base note progression. The whole thing is linear and quite simple. The fragrance is floral with powdery iris and rose so if you like roses and iris that smell like powder this is what this smells like. Little scented clouds and puff of powder. Very delicate. Feminine. Almost like baby powder. The longevity is an issue as it does not last longer than 40 minutes but that’s just about the amount of time you need to smell it as you fall asleep. This is great for spritzing on after a shower before bed.
There’s also vanilla and light touches of sandalwood and ambrette. The vanilla powder is very lovely and matches with the rose and the iris accords. This is a skin scent that really does smell like your skin but 10 x better. It reminds me of other body skin type perfumes like Boudoir (only Boudoir is more spicy and not calming at all) or Desnuda as well as Bronze Goddess. This is simple and mature but very nice. It won’t be to your liking if you don’t care for powders. I haven’t worn this in a while but I do like it and it’s also pretty good to spray in the bedroom or your bed sheets. Smells like a pink bed with floral prints on it.

Meaning bed sheets? I don’t think so.
For bed sheets Guerlain proposed us ( decently) EAU DE LIT even since 2006.
It is powdered, subtle , vague almondy. Skin, skin, skin scent .( and I’m not a stutter, just highlighting it’s subtility).
I don’t find anything provocative in this smell, as the marketing setting intended by using this shameless “LINGERIE”. But oh, that’s right ! “Lingerie” sounds better than “underwear” when it’s whispered in your ear or when it’s labelled on a bottle.
I ‘d rather see it as a fragrance for the pijamas ( with teddy bears) than for the Axami corset.
My conclusion? Beautiful but ..totally devout.
