it took time for me to appreciate LPRN EDP and it is one of my most loved scents, so i though this one will be great for summer days with added apple to be more fresh and less nutty. So basically yes, it is very suitable for hot days because of the freshness, but it disappears in 5min. Longevity is too short even for a cologne, what to say about EDT.
Despite the longevity, and speaking about the scent, cherry and apple rule with musky rose, lovely fresh combination for youthful spirits.
XxFeLoNxX – :
If the EdP is rich cherry syrup, this one is fresh, cool cherry juice. It’s sweet but refreshing from green notes and crisp apple, and never sickening. I wish I could drink this stuff! I also prefer this to the Eau Fraiche. If you love wearing the original EdP but it feels too heavy in warmer weather, here is the solution. Thank goodness!
Nastiushinka2 – :
I ended up getting this EdT because I love how La Petit Robe Noir mascara smells. This smells beautiful on paper and has the same cherry and powdery soft dry down. I must say I am disappointed, because it has a cologne scent when applied on to skin and is even worse on warmer weather. I might keep looking into this line.
ghb413speagoessenda – :
This is the best one of the whole series in my opinion. It manages to be fruity but not sweet (enough with the sugary sweet stuff already) Fresh and feminine with subtle blue/green hues, it has more layers than the other lbd’s from Guerlain.
Domogackiy – :
If LPRN EdP was a bit strong with a gorgeous drydown, the EdT screams APPLES on my skin (with a hint of cherry). Apple notes turn sharp on my skin, so this one is a scrubber.
ETA: After I washed this off, I took my dog for a walk and smelled something beautiful wafting on the breeze. It was the lovely LPRN drydown. Never underestimate a Guerlain.
Logachovam – :
This fragrance smells really great! It’s feminine, sweet, fresh, youthful. Might turn pungent on some skins, so make sure to test it before you buy it. Sillage is medium and turns to a skin scent pretty fast, longevity is rather weak too – on me.
Wenox – :
Sensitivity is needed for to get charmed by this EdT-water. Pretty, mild, delicate.
Because of the sweet prettyness of the scent, I put this in the same group with Juicy Gold Couture, Rihanna Nude, and Poison Girl EdT. I think that this scent is among ~7-8 prettiest, that I can find round here.
More beautiful and sweeter than La Nuit Tresor L’Eau de Toilette, but there’s mild similarity: scents of flora.
(The EdP version smells like week-ago-lacquered wood, or like 1 drop of nice eteric oil on wood. Totally different than this sweet EdT.)
махно72 – :
If edp strongly reminds me Lolita Lempicka, edt strongly reminds me Princesse Marina De Bourbon. Shame, shame, shame…
p.s. Decided to describe the fragrance…
It opens with sour cherry and much less with rose, sweet and sour at the same time. And then in the sillage it starts to smell like sour cherry would mix with Princesse Marina De Bourbon. Of course, amber is noticeable. Black currant and apple are also very noticeable. Luckily on me there is no much musk. I feel musk, but there is no soap on me.
The sillage is strong. When I tested edp, I didn’t get so airy sillage. I wanted edp, but the fact that it reminds me one of my favorite fragrances – Lolita Lempicka freaks me out( Maybe I wouldn’t buy this one too, if I had tested it better because of the similarity with Princesse Marina De Bourbon. But I’m glad that I bought edt. It has more not deep, but fine airy sillage, despite I prefer deep fragrances.
Actually, I just wanted to find new cherry or sour cherry deep and even gourmand fragrance. But I will better buy Lolita Lempicka again. This edt I will use, too. Only… Read the review:)
nazar10rus – :
I bought this a year ago for myself as a birthday present. The bottle is sooo pretty, love it. But this fragrance and I just never really clicked. I felt like the notes sound lovely, but the overall effect was quite ‘meh’. That was until I woke up the other morning to a cool and rainy day and decided to try her again. Oh wow – it was a wonderful day, I felt like I floated on a cloud of cherry happiness all day. It was perfect
aka48 – :
I adore this scent! It’s surprising because although I find patchouli to be a beautiful element, lately all fragrances containing it have set off migraines. Not so with La Petite Robe Noire. At first sniff, it reminded me of cherry tobacco (love!) but a couple of hours later it is sweet and almondy. This is fun, upbeat and delicious.
7feet – :
Tried again just recently. Not sure why I keep trying this one, but it could be that Guerlain is by far my favorite. Unfortunately something turns me off. Te sour cherry is too candy-like for me. It seems to over-power everything else.
Narcisska – :
The La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette is similar to the original. I love both, but I prefer the original La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum because it has more character due to its nutty, licorice, marzipan, confectionary quality. The EDT version, on the other hand, still has the black cherry note, but the overall composition is more like a fruit basket instead of patisserie. This could be one reason why the EDT has weaker sillage and shorter longevity; it is more top note heavy and lacks the creamy, resinous fixatives that make other Guerlains so strong.
Overall, I’m very happy with Thierry Wasser and this new line from Guerlain! It is refreshing to see a brand maintain its original quality and air of sophistication and Parisian luxury, while branching out to create fragrances that appeal to audiences as well. While I prefer my Shalimar and Apres L’Ondee, fragrances like La Petite Robe Noire or Insolence would be great options for someone who loves Guerlain but wants a more youthful fruity-floral scent.
win89 – :
I’ve been so excited to try (and own!) one of the LPRNs, so when I saw that an online seller destashing her and her daughter’s accumulated fragrances was selling this for quite a low price, I jumped at the chance.
I still prefer the EDP, which I’d gotten a sample of a few weeks prior, but I am quite liking this one too.
The first time I sprayed it was a bit of a let down because I thought the EDT and EDP smelled more alike than they actually do. I liked the rich sweetness of the EDP, and this one wasn’t as creamy sweet. Instead, I got a blast of juicy cherry that was rather tart and a bit sharp and medicinal.
But that soon settled into still more cherries, but this time with a hint of green apple. Even later, it consistently smelled of cherry, but softened very agreeably to me. It lost its tartness but retained its freshness, so that the sweetened cherry scent wasn’t cloying or overbearing. The patchouli wasn’t dominating; it only lent a very slight earthiness, like smelling cherries in a lush, dewy garden in the wee hours of the morning. The concoction had just a little bit of powderiness that kept the sweetness from running all over the place. I just love it so much at this point!
It later quieted down into musky soft sweetness with the last traces of cherry that I so enjoy getting wafts of.
I was almost disappointed with this fragrance (the opening is still a bit jarring up to now), but it really pays to let the scent develop. It turns out that I really love this one, especially as I don’t have anything like it in my collection yet. So happy I got the opportunity to snag this at such a great price!
пашик – :
I like all of the La petite Robe Noirs that I have; EDP, EDT, Couture, Intense and Black Perfecto. And I suppose I should like Couture (raspberry) or Black Perfecto (rose) the most, due to my usual preferences, but actually, the EDT scent is the one that I like the most. Well, of course the EDT has the rose and the berry (cherry) that my usual perfume favourites tend to have, but there is also a certain freshness, that the other LPRNs do not have (although Couture comes close). I would say LPRN EDT is a spring fragrance or up north where I live also a summer fragrance (the temperatures here rarely rise above 25 Celsius – not even in the summer). There is quite a bit of romance in the fragrance, it’s pink, sophisticated, sweet but still fresh. There is also something hard-to-pinpoint classic about it. As for longevity… better buy a bigger bottle or two bottles, one to keep at home and another to keep with you to reapply during the day. Sillage is ok, as long as you apply quite liberally before going out. For me this is pure spring romance.
FriendAmelia – :
Wear after wear, I grew to actually hate this perfume (EDT).
In me it’s sharp, cloying, like a bad quality cologne, and there’s some note in it (which I can’t identify but I guess it’s the synthetic cherry) that makes me almost gag.
I can’t believe it’s from the same brand that my beloved My Insolence (no masterpiece either, but good quality and without raw edges).
I regret my purchase of a 100 ml bottle.
Maybe the problem is its chemistry with my skin, because out of the bottle I kind of like it. But in my skin it gets sour, so beware! Try before purchasing.
edikk81 – :
I love the first couple hours of this fragrance. It manages to be fruity sweet but still sort of fresh. I can really smell the almond. After it dries down (hours 4-6) it does lose a little something and makes me think of any generic fruity hair spray. But yeah, I like it for the daytime/office and it lasts a good 5-6 hours. I’d probably want to reapply midday if I wore it to the office but then again sometimes I like a shorter lasting perfume for daytime so I can switch to something bolder for an evening out.
Edit: Have to admit I got some negative feedback on this one – one of my co-workers said she thought it smelled like a cheap men’s cologne. Rude. Of course I still like it but consider yourself warned not everyone is going to be a fan of this one. I do sort of get what she’s referencing – the freshness in this one is reminiscent of a sort typical note in some men’s fragrances. I personally think it’s a fun feminine version but I get how someone could draw an association to a men’s sort of generic barbershop type smell.
ЧИБА – :
Smells a bit too sharp on me, does not have that warm feeling I enjoy with EDP. I still like the dry down, but the EDP stays my favourite. The flowery notes are much stronger here, less gourmand. I am more like a gourmand lover, too flowery scents give me headache. The flowers are not too disturbing here, but hence I enjoy the EDP much more.
cfdbrnvSAZt – :
A pleasant powdery-sweet-floral scent
I always like to smell the scent straight on skin before reading what notes are contained in the fragrance as a means of discovery, seeing if I can discern notes from one another. After the dry down, you lose a bit of the fruity-sweetness and get more of a bouquet of floral scents. I imagine there are numerous florals but the ones that I can pick out are gardenia and rose. There is a bit of powderiness and a bit of a musky floral like a carnation or a marigold (I was way off)…hmmm… let’s read further. So the top note is orange blossom which quickly volatilizes. You can pick out a bit of the black currant. The musk comes from the white amber and white musk. It contains some of your quintessential florals like rose and jasmine which must be at higher concentrations because those are the only two true florals listed. Et Voila!
rodaspo – :
I like the La Petite Robe Noire EDT much better than the EDP. The EDP is similar to the Lolita Lempicka perfumes and too almondy sweet for me, the EDT is more original.
It starts with a fresh and natural cherry scent. I do smell a bit of rose, but fortunately it’s not dominant and blends well with the cherry.
There is also something slightly spicy that reminds me of cinnamon or a fizzy soft drink like coke, even though I have no idea where this is coming from.
I wonder if there really isn’t the tiniest hint of licorice from the original EDP, I think I can detect some.
The apple note becomes noticeable in the heart. To me it’s not a green apple but rather apple juice or spritzer.
Under the refreshing fruity and floral notes there is a warm golden base of musk, amber and patchouli.
The drydown is ambery sweet with a hint of cherry coke.
Contrary to others I don’t find this green, it’s a warm fruity scent for me. For an EDT it’s also quite intense. Very good.
sergynjik – :
I was hoping to get the EDP but saw the EDT on sale for a great price and thought I would purchase it. It is a pleasant cherry fragrance. My main issue with it is it doesn’t have great staying power. In hindsight I would get the EDP so it would last longer. But if you have tried the EDP and find it too heavy and want a lighter version this one’s probably for you. Otherwise, grab the EDP.
jokermenx – :
Sorry, but very plane (cherry note mostly) and it lasted 30 minutes on me.
Major disappointment, taking into account the brand name.
timka45 – :
Another beauty in my collection. The thing I like here is that it’s not that sour. I feel like I’m in a medley of a well orchestrated sorbet. It’s fresh, fun, sweet, and feminine. I’m always amazed at how Guerlain makes such unique scents, that is unique to the frag world. Sometimes, it is hard to put into words the complexity of Guerlain and how well they can formulate a fragrance. Everything is always so exceptional, and this lovely scent is just another cause for celebration. I’m never ever let down. The dry down is great. The sillage for this version is above average. Now, personally I wear any scent that fits my fancy, anytime of year. Some would say this scent should be worn in Spring or summer. I say, wear it anytime! It’s so delicious! The Florals balance wonderfully with no one NOTE compromising the other, or standing out over another. It’s perfection in a bottle. Last, the longevity is above average. I could still smell it on me the next day. Impeccable. Xoxo
evgen2008 – :
Profumo completo, questo l’aggettivo giusto per l’eau de toilette. Universale il suo utilizzo, per quattro stagioni sia diurno che notturno. Fragranza fruttata, acida e fresca. Apre forte con note di ciliegia e mela verde, quest’ultima in fase iniziale sovrasta tutti per poi lasciare di nuovo il passo alla ciliegia che questa volta è scortata dal bouquet fiorito (jasmina-rosa-fiori d’arancio). Le note di base sono avvertibili in maniera modesta, per evitare sovrapposizioni con il cuore fruttato. Ciò che dà una marcia in più è la nota verde che rende umido il cesto di ciliege. Prodotto vivamente consigliato per under 35.
Profumo 9,5/10
Sillage 7/10
Longevità 7,5/10

I forgot to mention, when I spray it on my clothes and my kin like on the neck, I can still smell it the next day! Ist Lasting power for an EDT is really great.
dark-router – :
This is way better than the original. It’s light, fresh, feminine, sophisticated without trying to hard. It does not give me a headache and it does not make me wanna throw up like Viva La juicy Gold Couture.
good952 – :
Eau de Toilette of this stuff is pleasant & more feminine than the unisex original. This has less sour cherry and is more floral and green, like a little secret garden. I would say it’s mature & though marketed for the young crowds, it’s pretty floral & green and exudes a little more confidence & maturity.
The opening is cherry but it’s fainter than the parfum. It’s a good cherry note but it plunges into the floral notes at least on me. I smell jasmine & jasmine sambac. I smell a very pretty rose & some orange blossom. There is a soapy scent coming from the amber. There’s a green apple that smells like apple shampoo. In addition that green note & patchouli is not heavy and smells herbal; again similar to herbal hair shampoo. There’s a lot of good smells in this perfume! I want my hair to smell of it! So I have taken up spritzing this lightly on my hair which is long right now, around the ends of my hair. It’s a toilette so the concentration is not as deep and it doesn’t last as long.
Such a pretty cherry & floral scent!
хитман – :
This smells very similar to the EDP, the difference being, that EDP had cherry with a nutty backdrop. This one still has the same cherry as EDP, but the nuts have gone this time, and have been replaced with the fresh apples and green notes that the nuts caused to fade out in the EDP. Lovely scent!
anvar74 – :
I gave this several wears in all conditions trying to work it out. Its a Guerlain…damn it! It should be beautiful! There is no such thing as a WEIRD and HORRIBLE Guerlain!! And certainly not one that causes traumatic childhood flashbacks of that RED MEDICINE Mum forced down my throat when I had a cough! What on earth is going on here….?
I dislike a Guerlain perfume. Omg. I actually dislike a Guerlain perfume. I’m stunned. The world may actually be flat for all I know…
крокодаил – :
I bought the packaging and the price at which I found. In the first use I was quite disappointed. I would not use more , I found good artificial smell. This note cherry bitter seemed blackcurrant syrup and took care of my Alfaro . I was shocked to be a Guerlain !
I put the perfume and some time later gave a new chance to purchase. I do not know when I did not like my expectation was sky-high , but the fact is that today , read along with him , I think nice and cool until after about 15 minutes. Nothing wonderful, but honest.
denis_p – :
I have an EDT version
When I first put it on I had 2 thoughts on my mind:
1. Very much like a scent from expensive, stylish, high end perfumery.
2. Very rich, delicious bakewell tart.
And those two create something really fun and flirty without being cheap.
When I smell it on my wrist I see a flirty, beautiful young girl with great style that is just going out, but not to some filthy club but to some nice place for a drink with her friends. She is open to meet some nice gentleman, talk to him and send him a couple of smiles, maybe one dance but nothing else. She just wanted to go out looking pretty.
It may sound contradictory, but even though I say ‘stylish’ I do not mean that grown-up, mature class and elegance. Nonetheless, it is a fantastic scent, an expensive and much-better version of drugstore fruity coctail spritz.
I do not find this to fit my taste but I appreciate its uniqueness
pestov1969 – :
The opening notes are too intense, what comes after is interesting (sweet, cherry-like but with a hint of flowers…), the dry down feels like a thick, old, cherry syrup. There is a lot of cherry lurking in this, but it’s not a young, vibrant cherry like in Escadas’ “Cherry in the Air” – it is darker, older and more cloying. Sillage is good, duration isn’t bad either (5/6 hours), but overall I don’t like it, it’s just too sweet for my taste.
goosse – :
i prefer this than the Edp. this smells a lot younger and fresher.
ilmust – :
Thought I will love it at winter coldness.i have 4 miniatures at cofret with edt and edp.i used half of bottle and it’s nice and soapy and easy sweet,but easily forgotten.
What I feel – comfort fragrance,something that telling about cherry pie with a lot of jam , black tea and calm lovely evening,hug from mom or good friend,and her majestity strawberry soap – clean pleasant inviting smell .
I like it very much but adore Prada “infusion d’iris”:)
atlasow – :
It smells like sweet cherry, berries and red apple scent. This EDT is fresher and sweeter, less licorice and less complex composition compared to the EDP. I prefer the EDP.
bazhmin2012 – :
Smelling this one next to the EdP, the EdT is all about the patch, rose and cherry. As in the Ma Premiere Robe version, gone is the liquorice, but these are two different compositions – MPR is considerably closer to the original than the EdT is.
The patchouli in the EdT is a bit dirty – it’s really taking center stage to my nose – but the strong rose softens it and the introduction of the apple note lends just the right amount of cleanliness to balance it all out. If the EdP reads too sweet and medicinal for you, do try this one.
Demir – :
I got this perfume for Christmas. Every time I wear it, I feel so classy and elegant. For starters, the bottle itself is so beautiful. The perfume itself is beautiful as well. When I first smell this perfume, I definitely smell cherry and nuts. In my opinion, that sounds strange for a perfume, but in all honesty, it smells delightful. I’ve never smelled anything like this. (I’ve never smelled the EDP of this perfume, so I can’t compare it to that.)
The only con I have with this perfume is that I can’t smell it after approximately two hours. However, this could be something to do with my own nose because I seem to have a lot of problem smelling any perfume a few hours after I spray it.
Would I recommend? OF COURSE!
BolikiLelik – :
It’s been a while since I fell in love with this gorgeous cute bottles,but I could’nt get along with LPRN edp,though it was not in my dislike list but there was something there that pushed me away,a medical smell,perhaps licorice+cherry
To be honest,I bought edt without even a single test,hoping to own a lighter version of edp to give it time and maybe get along with it more easily,it turns to be right that I am really lucky in my blindbuys,there is no need to try to like this one,this is just mine from the initial spray
LPRN edt is the younger sister,Ican see similar genes,but this one is lighter,brighter,fresher,happier,much more wearable for me
It is a simple floralfruity,starts mouthwarering sour and sweat with a dominant cherry and apple,and soon rose and jasmine kick in,this young a bit green scent makes me smile,it’s as refreshing as drinking a cool glass of smoothie(mix of fruit juices)in a hot summer day…and what is this green nutty undertone here?!I can detect it vividly but there is not such a note listed here,is this pistachio?or a green almond?I simply love it❤
I prefer to wear it during spring,and am thankful of guerlain for such a easygoing younglady spring scent,unexpectedly my man loves it and encourages me to use it daily,the only problem here is about moderate longevity and sillage,which is not bad for an edt
❤❤❤❤

La Petite Robe Noir EDP has been my signature for several years now, and I’ve had the EDT for almost as long, but it hasn’t been until recently that I appreciated this one for what it is…if you go into testing the EDT thinking that it should be very similar to the EDP, you will be disappointed. It will seem like a very, very pale copy.
However, when I started wearing this more I was able to see it as a separate but slightly related perfume instead, and I love it now. The EDT is very much more about the rose, cherry, and musk than the licorice, tonka, and patchouli of the EDP. The latter notes are still here, faintly, but this is the floral heart of EDP with apple (I smell Granny Smith in the drydown!), and just enough of the base notes to ground it. I love the EDT for summer time when it’s very hot–then I get more cherry and patchouli–and it’s fantastic for work.
A really gorgeous fruity floral with personality and not too sweet, either. So glad I never got rid of my big bottle of EDT and kept on giving it a chance!

Blast of fruits from the beggining, after I feel only soapy cherry…but still trying pal up with this fragrance…
ivan.luckianchencko – :
I’m not a fan of sweet and fruity scents but this is an exception for me: I love this EDT and I prefer it over the EDP which I find too fruity and strong.
This EDT is beautiful, the opening is fresh yet sweet, flowery and fruity (I mostly smell jasmine, rose and cherry – the dominant note -), then it turns into a warm scent.
The drydown is amazing.
Plus it owns the elegant Guerlain’s touch.
Suitable for every age and season. The lasting power is good for an EDT.
Lovely!
Vioxincenem – :
I had high expectations for this… but disappointed me. Delices smells tad a bit better because it’s a little balanced than LPRN EDT. This smells just rancid cherries on drydown. Plus the patchoulis popping out of nowhere— meh. Good thing I checked from the stores before making a blind buy. Longevity is poor. Very faint around 3-4 hours mark.
BoWVolk – :
Oh. *sniff sniff* Oh.
That is about all I can say.
I ADORE the EDP and love the jammy fruit of Couture, but this is boring and weak!
I get a very light powdery cherry unique to LPRN, but that is about it. The rest of it is a very soapy generic floral scent. Boring. And unlike the EDP and Couture, this has no lasting power at all. Weak.
Sad.
As it gets colder in Michigan, this seems to last a bit longer… even tho I used about 6-8 sprays. It’s a very DRY and somewhat dusty cherry. Still soapy, like a dryer sheet.
LinuraGamtova – :
After wearing EDP for a few days in row, I decided to try this one (I have samples of both, probably given while they were just launched).
While I have started to appriciate EDP, I cannot say the same about EDT. I don’t smell cherries at all (oposite to EDP). But I can smell something, a note which immediately disqalifies this fragrance in my eyes (or in my nose): I have no idea what it is, because I am finding it in very different perfumes and when I am trying to compare the notes here, I cannot find a common denominator. I smelt it in Femme by Boss and some others. It’s probably my skin plus some notes but as I said, I am not able to find it.
Anyway, this one has quite poor longevity – after 4 hours there’s no single trace of this fragrance on me.
If EDP is a Parisian girl, she is a girl in her early thirties. EDT is a Parisian teenager who just got her first expensive perfume and tries to not overdose it.
sha-man8 – :
There are days when I crave this scent. The spicy cherry makes me feel energized but sexy. It’s an experience every time I wear it. You can’t beat the quality of Guerlain. I’d love to own their classics. I like to think it smells like Paris – escapism in a bottle.
павлуха123 – :
I got this because I LOVE the edp and wanted a lighter version for summer that I could spritz more liberally. But I don’t like this one at all. Especially the opening. It has a sharp soapiness that I really don’t like. The almondy-dusty-cherry-licorice goodness does come in the dry down and resembles the edp a bit in that stage, but definitely not as good as the edp..
I have a huge 100 ml tester bottle. Would like to swap for the edp but rather inside the EU or even better inside the Netherlands. Let me know.
demaTeams54 – :
April 2015: It was on my wish list and finally I purchased it. My previous review was based on a paper strip try but finally the notes are little bit different so I review it again.
Definitely cherry is the very first note detectable. There is a little bit of rose note as well. Finally I do not notice apple so much but it should be somewhere on the background. Jasmine is noticeable as well and not in your face way. A big surprise for me is this patchouli note that finally is rather characteristic and at the same time completely different from the one in any other fragrance tested so far. Usually I do not like it so much and avoid perfumes with a strong patchouli note as it destroys the scent for me. But here I just love it and with patchouli it becomes more punchy making disappear an illusion about the young and completely girly type of fragrance. Patchouli makes this eau de toilette more mature. It is finally not so sweet just slightly sweet, it is more fresh then creamy. It just cannot become annoying. Gerlain is a very old perfume house so no doubt that this perfume is of a high quality with a very long lasting power and strong silage.
A definitive keeper.
October 2015: it’s so pretty, refreshing and so cute as scent! I find myself achieving it more and more often. I like it so much! I would like to own in addition a green bottle of the Robe with pistachio note. It has a similar vibe but notes are different. Guerlin signature is recognizable in both.
Serg owertyjursest – :
I’m stunned by how much I dislike this. I’ve always loved Guerlain. I wore nothing but for years and even now can’t narrow the number of classic Guerlains for my “want” list to a manageable number.
I got ahold of a decant after smelling this on a friend and loving it. On her it seemed spicy, fruity and interesting. I went ahead and doused myself, trusting it would be awesome. On me it’s a dull fruity sweet thing that abruptly turns into an all pervasive reek of cheap male soap-on-a-rope in the dry down. It didn’t end til I scrubbed.
I’m grateful to GabriellaPerfume for validating my experience! While I didn’t get Encre Noir specifically (never having made it to the dry down on that one), there is something very masculine about the dry down and it seemed like the two parts weren’t playing together at all.
Approaching new Guerlains with caution . . .
Vitalym – :
A cherry chapstick wind goes over a sparkling juicy rose. I smell a bit of licorice, wich I think it’s pretty insane (in a good way). On my skin the longevity is moderate, the sillage is moderate. The dry down was very intriguing, smell on me like Encre Noire de Lalique.
altory – :
This one is my favorite of all time! I won a competition and got this perfume. I usually don’t like sweet perfumes, but this one just felt and smelled so good ! I bought 2 more bottles afterwards. It’s a shame that it doesn’t last long, but I absolutely love it and will buy it again soon.

Oh yes, it’s a top quality fragrance! I’m already a big fan of the edp and wanted a lighter version for the spring and summer time, so I got this one as well. It starts of a bit fresher (fruity and a teeny tiny bit soapy), but settles in to the way the dry down of the edp smells within a few minutes. It’s just a bit softer and less strong. Lasting power is great and I’m really happy to have this for the spring now!

Lovely fruity sweet and warm scent. I tested it today in a perfumery shop.
My nose detects rather intensive jasmine and cherry on the first place, orange blossom and apple. Then a hint of rose but not so intensive. It’s a sweet creamy perfume exactly as I like. This creamy note is due to the musk and amber gives this so comforting warmth.
I do not have it yet but and have no idea if this scent can become boring but any case it is fixable. I will only need to change the perfume from time to time.
Is on my wish list as I just love it.

In a perfume world over-saturated with non-nondescript fruity florals, leave it to Guerlain to do this thing right.
La Petite Robe Noire EDT is cheerful, positive, and youthful in the best sense. It’s not that it’s a “teenage” scent, it’s that it’s energizing. It starts off with fresh cherries, apples and rose petals. Later on the patchouli comes through, nothing forceful, and the green sweetness of the top notes melts into the warm sweetness of very light musk and amber. The drydown reminds me alot of Lolita Lempicka, another favorite, but this is less mystery and magic and more fresh and fun.
