Description
Mon Guerlain, launched in the spring of 2017, is Guerlain’s tribute to contemporary women “with a strong, free and sensual femininity, as inspired by Angelina Jolie”. Its new flanker Mon Guerlain Florale comes out a year later as a more floral and airy version of the original with additional notes of peony and an enhanced dose of Sambac jasmine.
The opening remains the same, with the signature note of Carla lavender. The heart retains Sambac jasmine in a higher concentration together with additional floral notes of peony and Paradisone molecule. The base includes vanilla with woody notes.
The elegant and timeless bottle design based on the Nuances d’or de Guerlain comes in rose-gold color after the champagne nuance of Mon Guerlain the original. The fragrance is available as a 50 and 100 ml the Eau de Parfum Florale.
Mon Guerlain Florale was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Thierry Wasser.

Wonderful fragrance.I remember the first time I tried a sample of it, I fell in love. Extremely feminine, but not in a seductive way but very gentle. It represents the maternal side of femininity – a gentle, kind and caring woman, protective and full of love. Great for women of 25- 40 maybe. Longevity is decent. It’s sad that projection is so weak. It turns into a skin scent in about 30 minutes! So nobody knows you’re wearing perfume! Only you 🙁 One expects more from such an expensive fragrance.

I don’t remember too much about this scent, but I tried it in the store and I definitely recall disliking it. To me it smelt overwhelmingly herbal and sickly. Also very strong. Now that I read people mentioning that it has lavender in it – it makes sense. I strongly dislike the smell of lavender!
Efforkgolefep – :
I really get the pretty fresh and airy florals in this one and I like this much better than the original Mon Guerlain. Which is a shame since I have so many bottles of the original stocked up in my perfume shelves.
This is a younger, lighter and fresher and obviously more floral version of Mon Guerlain. More playful, more fun. A beautiful floral scent.
opi278speagoessenda – :
My previous review of Mon Guerlain Florale was downvoted and removed, although it wasn’t scathing or anything. I just said – and I stand by it – that this scent is hardly ‘floral’. To my nose, this flanker does not provide any significant departure from the original Mon Guerlain – it’s still all about lavender and vanilla. I don’t like the lavender note in fragrances and toiletries – it reminds me of moth repellents and air fresheners such as Airwick. Anyway, there’s no accounting for taste.
pogorelski – :
Melon, wet, smooth, feminine. Kind of lush. Inoffensive, yet noticeable and special. Great daytime fragrance in a dresser-worthy bottle.
Lopiqaf – :
Saw this pretty pink bottle in a magazine at a dental office and I made a mental note to check it out. First five minutes gave me sambac jasmine tempered with something herbal, which I have decided must be the lavendar. After half an hour, it turns softer, powdery but floral and steers clear of fruity territory. Very feminine, non-distinct and will appeal to general mass, which I would use for work so as not to offend. Since sillage is short, you neither announce yourself nor leave a trail of your whereabouts.
One spray on me:
Sillage: nose to write
Longevity: an hour which is mostly next to skin
Rating: 3/5

i just got this perfume today & it is AMAAAAAAZING !!!! what a beautiful floral scent very romantic & ethereal
i feel like a fairy floating thru a garden of lavender 🙂
the lavender is blended perfectly…..its not strong so u gals who fear the lavender dont lol – this is a soft beautiful lavender which is blended very well – after sniffing my arm it puts me in a dream state literally lol 🙂
so sniff away & dream ahhhhhhhh………………
i love the dry down notes as well………iris a fav – never can go wrong there……….and sandlewood & vanilla – wow what a super combo……..the vanilla on me is a bit more prominent but the mix of sandlewood & iris softens it up very nicely and yet still keeping the lavender lingering – love it !!!
i dont get the other notes but then again i am not the nose expert like so many of u fragraticans lol but i do know its a beautiful dreamy scent 🙂 a perfect powdery floral !!!!
ghena-27 – :
I agree with redsky, that Mon Guerlain should have been this!
This is a lovely, soft, sweet floral. It opens with a pleasant lavender that I do not detect in the original, although it is listed in the notes. The dry down is a lavender-vanilla that is not too sweet. The original is much sweeter to me, a little too sweet (just my opinion). This one lets the lavender be the star. I really love this scent and could wear it daily any time of year.
It lasts a few hours and stays close to the skin.
Rating 9/10

Color me surprised!
Sephora substituted this sample in my latest order, and I figured why not try it since it was free. It was only the iris that I wanted to smell, otherwise I wasn’t interested in a more floral Mon Guerlain as I tend toward warmer and darker perfumes and already have Mon Exclusif.
But I honestly think this is the best among Mon Exclusif and the Mon Guerlain line. WOW. The notes are in perfect harmony, as in the Guerlains of old. This is a Champs-Elysees-esque floral bouquet centered on lavender instead of lilac and mimosa – so smooth and uplifting. MG Florale is slightly more masculine and aloof than the original MG, with the addition of iris and possibly some white musk to cool off the lavender. It is still very feminine too if you can imagine, just more sophisticated than Mon Exclusif and Mon Guerlain. The vanilla harmonizes the fresh bouquet in a dusky, dewy sort of sunshine. Though the lavender tempts me to think of this perfume as a light-medium purple, when I strip away all expectations it actually evokes a milky jade.
What’s more is that Florale has the best performance. When I run out of Mon Exclusif I will be replacing it with this one. It is a little more grown-up, and the rose-gold accented bottle is so classically beautiful. THIS IS WHAT MON GUERLAIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN. There would have been no need for flankers if it were so.

I love this perfume, it’s so comforting! It’s a soft and round scent. It makes you feel really nice and feminine, yet assertive and strong. The longevity on my skin is amazing! It’s been almost an entire day. During the first hours it’s strong enough to fill a smaller room. It’s interesting because when I try to smell it at first, I don’t feel it that much, but it becomes more noticeable after some time and people tell me they smell it from across the room.
B-boy-MD – :
I fall in love with this truly florale perfume. Unfortunately, both sillage and longevity are poor. Test it on you first and wait for its development.
I tried it, loved it and bought it on the spot. Would have never thought to have such a soft and short-lived projection.
oldbacha – :
I tested the two Mon Guerlain perfumes again today and I like the Florale better than the original so I ordered a 50 ml bottle! This is an elegant but strong scent! It is the only lavender fragrance in my wardrobe & here the lavender definitely stands out, which makes the scent a tad masculine; maybe that’s why my hubby likes it so much! Anyway, the more I wear it, the more I enjoy it! It is a well-crafted fragrance, yet a bit intriguing: somewhat cold and somewhat warm, which makes you feel refreshed, elegant and self-confident during a hot summer day! Longevity is good but I suppose it depends on your skin, it lasts a lot longer on the clothes. A bit loud when it is sprayed, it has a moderate sillage for about half an hour, then it sits closer to the skin, which I find very convenient.
Nurik_02 – :
Theoretically, this should be naturally enchanting for powder lovers. It’s perfectly blended, and longlasting. I can smell almond (or coumarin, either one) and a hint of lilac in this perfume, which aren’t listed in the notes pyramid. So, I could be mistaken.
The perfume holds few contradictory faces:
– It’s so pink, cute, and innocent, yet in a classy, non-girly way.
– It’s warm from the powdery notes and the sweet-almond-vanilla (or sweet-coumarin-vanilla, either one), but still holds a cold refreshing vibe from peony and lavender.
The dry down of this one reminds me “at some point” with (Gucci Guilty Eau), despite the different openings and directions, until they meet somewhere.
mik_c – :
I have a whole bottle of the original and a sample size of this. This is nice, but to me it can’t compete with the original. This is lacking the spiciness and oomph the original has. The original, to me, is magic. This one is just ok.
soccersale – :
I got a sample of this at a department store and didn’t give it much thought. They were just handing out samples. Until the next day when I decided to spray it on!! And it totally shocked me how much I loved this at first sniff!!!!! Doesn’t really happen like that for me much anymore. You know…been there…smelled that. But every once in a while one gets a hold of me and says I’m the one!!! So I have a new summer love Mon Guerlain Florale❤❤❤
nasta-2904 – :
While the two are incredibly similar, that doesn’t mean one can’t be better. For me, this one is better because it a.) Lasts longer and b.) It smells a bit more of lavender and white flowers.
If you have the original, don’t bother with the flanker. The two don’t differ enough to even worry about it. Plus, if you like the earthy / fungal accord in the original, this is void of it.
Also, this smells nothing like Purple Fantasy.

When I smelled “mon guerlain florale” for the 1rst time it came straight to my mind the immaculate image of elegance and grace from Kate Middleton in her sister´s wedding talking to Charlotte. Kate Middleton pictures the guerlanish elegance and class of this fragrance. A simple but extremely well blended scent: graceful, classy, bright, polite and luminous.
“Mon guerlain florale” is “the sunny/luminous” side of the “mon guerlain” original.
I sprayed this gem 3 times on me and the longevity was of 8 hours and projection of 3; top “guerlain” quality. The combo vanilla + lavanda + flowers is not original in the perfumery but these ingredients are blended here with all refinement and fineness from the guerlain “savoir faire”… you walk and this delicate warm flowery brume embraces you all the time.
A very well crafted scent …a flowery garden warmed by a sunny vanilla; very graceful, simple and extremely elegant.
artem8811 – :
The main accords that are very apparent are: lavander, pink floral-sweet peony, macaron sweetness and patchouli. Now, patchouli is not listed in the notes breakdown but the whole scent results in a sweet floral-patchouli drydown. There is an Angel vibe for sure, but Guerlain Florale is tamer. One good thing is that it’s perfumey, it definitely smells like perfume and not like food. Has a lasting power of six hours and just simply fades until total dissapearance.
Generally it’s a lovely scent, personally I don’t see anything original, quite common, it’s everywhere; I’m not saying it’s bad quality, it’s good, it’s fine, it’s safe, it’s just too mainstream.
teensland9087 – :
I love it!!! I love the original and this flanker is even fresher and it has something enchanting about it, imagine walking through a field of flowers and incense… It’s not a typical combination but it smells heavenly. At first spray I was in love after dry down the original Mon Guerlain appears, vanilla and sweet lavender though a tone less sweet. This is the best Guerlain fragrance to me so far! Curious about the compliments I will get I already got plenty with the original version. Strong, confident and above all unique. This is now on my top 3.
armoro – :
A really lovely flanker of Mon Guerlain, and one I actually prefer to the original. Take Mon Guerlain, dial back the sweetness a lot, and the lavender a bit, remove the sharp citrus topnotes, add an airy, full bodied iris, and you’ve got Mon Guerlain Florale. I now have three fragrances that capitalize on the combination of sweetness, vanilla, and iris: Mon Guerlain Florale, Valentino Donna, and Lipstick On. This one is by far the sweetest. This is a trend I’m fully on board with, as it’s a cooler, airy take on the typical hyper-sweet vanilla gourmandes. Mon Guerlain Florale makes me think of a very poshe vanilla wedding cake frosted with lavender whipped cream and surrounded by white wedding bouques. Because this fragrance is so sweet and hyper-feminine, I think of it as a heavy-lidded, indulgent boudoir fragrance to wear with lacy negligees. It’s not something I would wear out, except maybe on a romantic date, and I feel the same way about the original Mon Guerlain.
I think the longevity and strength is outstanding, and I’m frankly shocked at the reviews saying that this and the original Mon Guerlain lack strength. I can only imagine that people are spraying too much and becoming “nose-blind” to it, as the sweetness is bordering on offensively powerful (especially in the original). I’m careful not to use more than two sprays at the most lest I stop breathing. I think this intense sweetness and strength is one of the reasons men like it so well on women: the vast majority of men have a much less sensitive sense of smell than most women, so with its strength, it’s sure to be noticed. And unlike many strong notes in perfume, sweetness is almost universally pleasant.
If the original is too sweet and heavy for you, but you like the general idea of it, this is Votre Guerlain.
ErafEssef – :
Beautiful! One of the best new releases, along with Flowerbomb Nectar. It’s different enough from Mon Guerlain original to own both. It’s more floral, less gourmand/Oriental. I really smell the lavender in this version and am reminded of Jicky with pretty florals added. Longevity is good. This was a blind buy and I was not disappointed. This is large bottle worthy. Just so pretty and unique enough to wear the Guerlain name. This one is most definitely worth trying, imo.
KINOLUBITEL – :
Not so impressed. Smelled better from the bottle then on my wrist. Drydown is almost pure lavender. If I want a lavender perfume, I’ll buy a lavender soliflore perfume…
handi7wavygepelay – :
The original EDP version was an okay scent, but this one really makes my head dizzy.
It’s so strongly floral, spicy and vanillary.
More oriental than floral, but there’s lots of different floral notes. It seems like it contains literally everything.
Lavender, neroli, jasmine, ylang-ylang and iris are all there. I also sense sandalwood and vanilla very intensely.
That perfume is too much for me.
roi 666 – :
Very soft and feminine. Prefer this to Mon Guerlain. It has a nice subtle warmth to it, an unassuming sweetness and a gentle floral aura. I would consider buying this. It has good sillage and longevity, such that it makes itself known but certainly does not overwhelm. I sense the peony, iris and woods more than anything else. Vanilla lends the warmth and roundness. As someone who uses a lot of lavender oils and fragrances, I can honestly say this does not smell like lavender to me. Additionally, while tonka supposedly isn’t in this version, it smells very much present to me.
If I could choose two words it would be warm and pretty.
Update: bought the 100mL bottle. Wearing this today and have had more compliments on this than anything I have ever worn. Also, I detected the lavender in the initial 20 seconds but it disappears into the rest of the fragrance nicely. I adore lavender, so I like that it’s there, even if I can’t detect it as a single note. Absolutely lovely, just the right balance of softness and warmth. This is the prettiest fragrance I own, and I believe it is appropriate for both work (spray lightly), and socialising/ romance etc.
stalker2033 – :
Quite nice. I still prefer the original, tho. This feels much more transparent. Maybe we didn’t need more lavender if it comes at the expense of full body
hismat – :
I love this it smells so classic . Just purchased a full bottle of this. The dry down is lovely I prefer it to the initial spray. There’s something in it that very very slightly resembles the original juicy couture but It’s not similar as a whole this is better
I prefer this to the original mon guerlain as it has better longevity on me and smells more crisp and fresh while still having a pure creamy vanilla dry down, it’s also Devine on a warm sunny day love it
lama86 – :
Though you can get the floral touch from the beginning, this perfume smells clean, like a classic floral soap with hints of vanilla and lavender. Very nice to wear with the body lotion, which is even more soapy-like. Lovely perfume.
lada0774 – :
In my opinion ,after the sprayed, first hours it has some disturbing note. What it was, i couldn’t find. After the 2-3 hours this parfüm is transformed and similar to mon guerlain.But I think mon guerlain’s vanilla much beautiful than florale.
boyncvoXvic – :
I am so in love with florale! As in love as I am with the original, which is my favorite perfume. For the people saying that it smells too similar to the original, I am here to remind you that this IS a flanker to the original, so obviously it will smell similar!!!!
Florale, in my opinion, is a bit more aromatic than the original and obviously more floral. If you haven’t smelled the original it is a lavender and vanilla combo that is aromatic, fresh spicy and a bit sweet. Florale is absolutely beautiful and just addictive! I can’t get enough of this juice! It is a tinge bit more subtle but maybe this is the one for those that thought the original was a bit too “loud’.
aude – :
I have a love,hate relationship with mon guerlain.I find it pleasant and cozy and vanilla-lavender blend is unique and appeals to me.but there’s something in it that bothers me.maybe it’s bergamot which I think doesn’t go well with other notes
When I first tried Mon guerlain florale I thought it’s a watered down version of the original.other perfumes I tested that day,covered it and I could barely smell it on my hand.but the other time when I smelled it on paper blotter I was wowed.it’s dry down was heavenly gorgeous and not faint.I couldn’t stop dreaming about it and was sad that I can’t afford a bottle(they only sell 3.3 oz of it here and it’s 100$).fortunately my man bought it for me as a Nowrooz gift(Iranian new year)
J love,love,LOVE it!
It’s 70% similar to Mon guerlain.the same unique vanilla-lavender combo but lavender is a bit tamed here.bergamot isn’t intense or sour.it’s a bit more sweet and the most important change is that a lovely floral accord is added.I can really smell peony,jasmine and iris and they blend so well with vanilla-lavender combo.I even love the subtle sandalwood base and though I usually love tonka and benzoin,I don’t miss them here.
It’s warm,sensual,classy,clean and feminine.a comforting scent which can be even a signature! I guess sillage is moderate,I haven’t received any complements yet but longevity is amazing.this softly powdered floral-vanilla scent blends with my skin very nicely and lasts for a whole day
I’m so glad to have this lovely perfume.now I wish they create an intense version,a gourmand one with lots of buttery caramel and toffee,amplified tonka,benzoin and lavender.
Edit:
I like it’s opening but I adore it’s drydown.It’s so beautiful,feminine and elegant.but I’m not happy with it’s sillage.it’s a great choice for indoor events but when I wear it outdoors I can’t smell it without sniffing my skin and people around don’t notice it without hugging me.but longevity is extraordinary.it lasts as a gorgeous skinscent for days.If sillage was better and it was more than a soft skinscent in it’s gorgeous drydown,I would call it one of my top five favorites
Optomiinnogma – :
To me, it is totally different scent. more fresh, add more muguet characters and neroli scent. and some aldehyde vibe with soft powdery. dry down is quite similar but more ambery, rather original is vanilla powder. I can detect lavender in original but in Florale, I’m not sure. anyway it is very wearable in spring.
Desmas – :
I’ve never sampled Mon Guerlain on my skin and today I made the first effort towards it. I’ve quickly smelled the original before and dismissed it as too simple and vanillic. Today I approached the bottle again and the first smell took my breath away – something just clicked. I was transported to some hazy old distant memory that is just one inch out my reach. Then I looked at the cap and noticed the rose-colored ring. It was the Florale version! Before I judge this as a better version I have to go back and try the original because the Florale alone is absolutely mindbogglingly beautiful.
anar_aliyev85 – :
I adore Mon Guerlain. I love it, it captivated me, I am enamored, it is my inamorata. Like many here, I’ve gone through bottles quickly, and as a perfume connoisseur who has bought into the idea of a perfume wardrobe, it is surprising that I reach for the same one on most days
I bought Mon Exclusif too, for the history of this scent, and also adore it; how can one not as they are identical? So of course, I was going to buy its first flanker. I’m more of a floral woman than a caramel one, so I expected to fall deeper in love.
Not so. It’s almost like they took the best parts out of Mon Guerlain and added a weak flower. It’s like a deboned chicken or a champagne that has gone flat-the richness is gone, the pop removed.
The first spray is almost alcoholic; sharp, teasing the nose, but then it settles into a light citrusy floral, almost lemon blossom. I can smell the lavender better than in the original, perhaps because the fresh floral addition lifts it up. Peony they say, which I don’t get specifically. Soon though, the gourmand part of Mon Guerlain follows but doesn’t quite mix with the lavender in the way the original so creatively does. After a while it settles and becomes Mon Guerlain; differences mostly disappear. The dry down takes you somewhere new. It is pretty, the drydown, a gentle vanilla flower, but you must go through some odd phases to get there.
I live where it gets very hot in summer, so maybe my opinion will change as the weather heats up. Maybe this will be Mon Guerlain for 100 degree weather. I like it; I don’t regret my purchase, the familial scent is obvious, and I will wear it. But it doesn’t inspire passionate love as with Mon Exclusif/Mon Guerlain. I miss the deep creamy vibrant experience of the original.
Sillage, projection, longevity-none of that is as much as with Mon Guerlain, although longer than many fragrances. It is truly lighter, yet I’ve still had compliments on the Florale from people a couple feet away. If you don’t like Mon Guerlain, I think you are unlikely to like Mon Guerlain Florale, as it is similar. But I hope I’m wrong, maybe this is the one that makes you fall hard.
I promise, whatever is next, whether an Intense version or another flanker, it will be on my very crowded dresser. I love the original enough to try all of its incarnations. Guerlain has always been my favorite House and Wasser my favorite nose. Hard for me to go wrong.
bohdan_brus – :
I loved Mon Guerlain and finished my bottle recently so decided to give the Florale edition a try and asked for a bottle as an Anniversary present. Well today’s my wedding anniversary and I’m wearing Mon Guerlain Florale but I have to say it’s a disappointment. Whereas the original had richness, depth and lasting power, Florale is simply a weaker version, not as sensual as the original and is very mediocre in comparison. I could hardly smell it at all after spraying liberally. The original is better in every way in my opinion and I regret asking for this rather than the original, which is so much more beautiful.
Vadim95 – :
I love the original Mon Guerlain and was happy to see a new ‘springtime’ version being released. I think it’s a perfect addition for the warmer months and retains the same spirit of the original. The same gorgeous Lavender/Vanilla notes are present but the main difference I am getting is that the heavier Sandalwood and Jasmine notes are toned down, the Patchouli is removed, while the Peony, Bergamot and other sparkly florals give it a lighter, fresher quality. As much as I adore the original, it can definitely get a little overbearing in the summer heat and humidity. For me it’s better in cooler weather because of the deeper heavier notes, which always become ‘brown sugary’ on me. The Florale has a brighter tone while not losing what I love about the first scent. I’ll definitely have this in rotation for the warm months ahead.
inity – :
I received a sample of this when I repurchased my beloved Mon Guerlain, in the larger size this time (I used up my 50ml bottle in under 5 months). Florale is a pleasant flanker fragrance, light and youthful but still well-blended and classy. I like it a lot, but it is nevertheless a watered down version of the original Mon Guerlain. Lovely for springtime and if you don’t like too much vanilla and coumarin, or if you prefer a lighter scent for everyday wear. But for me, Florale doesn’t have the airy yet rich and sophisticated patisserie fragrance-feeling which makes the original MG so addictive. The original is unique, complex and delicious and like another reviewer says, keeps its throne. Mon Guerlain is a queen, Florale her handmaiden.
dread2013 – :
I love Mon Guerlain , it is an exquisite aromatic scent, unique..This version is very different, the uniqueness is gone, which is typical with flankers…it is nice, but a bit too powdery for my taste…I do detect some lavender in the top notes, and I was like, great!! , but the fresh aromatic vibe goes very quickly..and you are left with a powdery floral.. ..it is softer, no sharp edges, feminine, pleasant, and predictable..longevity is nice, but the projection weak
I bought a big bottle before receiving my sample…I think I will repurchase the original, it is so good in my opinion…this is a nice pink version, definitely diluted, but easy to like ! Like Gabler said, it doesn’t come close to being as interesting as the original, it is very forgettable.
banga1701 – :
Is Mon Guerlain Florale better than original? Oh, no. And where´s the main difference? Mon Guerlain is calm, soothing & almost meditative – it has a classy French charm /high-end vibes included/. It´s ode to lavender. Mon Guerlain Florale is uncomplicated, more fresh, floral, joyful & carefree, like a young girl looking forward to summer, it´s a nice city scent for every day. But you know, Mon Guerlain wasn´t dethroned.
itemaScommimb – :
strange that D&G pour femme intense & givenchy ange ou demon aren’t added within people would also like as i find them very similar to the notes of mon guerlain. overall, it is a nice comfortable scent but not new to the market as it’s kinda familiar.
igo6125 – :
This new Flanker is a fresh, whimsy, less sweet version of its predecessor from a year ago. It’s less complex, and more floral. It’s a very wearable fragrance, meaning shall I say ordinary, non-offensive. I’m a huge fan of Mon Exclusif, I’m sure of the three versions, it will always remain my favorite. The sillage thus far on me is average, sitting closer to the skin than Mon Exclusif or Mon Guerlain. I’m not sure yet about Longevity, as the day progresses, I shall know more. I’d say this is a very pretty scent, it will appeal to many. It exudes femininity, and even a vibe of innocence.
PallPlali – :
Strange floral scent, it’s even hard to tell how it smells like. It’s like diluted first Mon Guerlain. That one was too sweet for me, but his one is just weird.
kurtika – :
I just tested this one today and I agree that it’s very similar to the original.
These are the subtle differences that I picked up on: the bergamot is a little bit more present in the opening, there is a new scent of a fresh-cut flower bouquet swirling around the lavender, the vanilla sweetness in the dry down is toned down, and it’s slightly less powdery.
It is very pretty but since I already have the original, I’m not sure it’s worth it to get this one too. I’ll have to test it again to make up my mind on that. For now, I still prefer the original.
I do hope there is an intense version, or some other flanker, coming in the future with the lavender toned down a bit and the sandalwood and vanilla cranked up!
UPDATE: I did end up buying it. I love Mon Guerlain and Mon Exclusif, and Florale breathes freshness into those favourites, making it perfect for Spring/Summer!
hummerr – :
No need for this version.Not too different from the original,just less potent and more watery.It does not have the WOW factor as Mon Guerlain.I think this version will go away from the shops soon ,maybe till the end of the year
xXxLSDxXx – :
If the Lavender was left out of this I might have liked it.
If you like a real “Fresh” or “Soapy” fragrance then you will like this one. I personally appreciate more complex sensual scents.
ijo592JeomiWogkig – :
After reading wonderful reviews about Mon Guerlain I went to try it and ended up getting Mon Guerlain Florale instead.
Both of them are really beautiful.
But, when I had to decide I chose Florale.
It is elegant and a new love.
I feel like I will wear this a lot.
It immediately became my signature scent.
Very happy!
Just adding that my husband loves this on me.
Already receiving compliments.
It really is a beautiful composition. Very well done.
Also the longevity is great on me. It lasts for hours on my clothes.
Actually, I can still smell it the next day on my clothes.
Update: I now also have Mon Guerlain and Mon Exclusif.
I love all of them.
I did however switch to Mon Exclusif as my signature. I find all three of them worthy of being a signature scent.
They work wonderfully with my chemistry.
Acceciday – :
Mon Guerlain Florale is simply stunning! I have been enjoying it for the last week. And I have been smitten!
Upon first application there is a burst of Bergamot mixed with such a wide array of floral notes it is hard to pick them out. Within a minute the Lavender becomes most prominent just as it is in Mon Guerlain but it is a little more subdued. The legendary Guerlain signature Vanilla holds the bouquet together at this point. Just beautiful!
Then after a couple of minutes the vibrancy of the Peony and powder of the Iris becomes noticeable. As does some other floral note that is honeyed and musky. It is Neroli. This is the Neroli I remember as a child. My hippie Aunt Mona wore Neroli Oil. I love it here. When it is combined with the abundant Sambac Jasmine this juice is quite hypnotic while one is experiencing this layer.
In the next layer I start to detect the same amazing Sandalwood here that is in Mon Guerlain and the most beautiful Ylang-Ylang as well. Together they perfectly ground this mostly Floral composition. The dry down is a soft Floral with nuances of Vanilla and Sandalwood. Very nicely done.
I would say Florale is similar to Mon Guerlain but it has its own character. There is no Benzoin or Tonka in this flanker making it lighter, more sparkling and a little less cloying. A great alternative for Spring and Summer.
I also have to compare it to Chanel Gabrielle. This is like the older more confident sister of it. I know there is no Lavender in Gabrielle but this seems to be what Gabrielle was trying to become. I love them both but Mon Guerlain Florale is just a little more…well…just more!
The sillage is huge at first then it becomes more moderate. The longevity is about five to six hours. I highly recommend this if you want a beautiful floral that performs. My new baby! I give Mon Guerlain Florale a 10/10+++
QQwert – :
My review vanished??!
Okay, this opens up with a delicious citrus meringue, laced with bergamot, and as that melts onto your palate, a jasmine sorbet is offered, finishing with a lavender ice cream, topped with Mon Guerlain syrup.
It’s lighter, I think than MG, but maybe I like this better. I think I’d have preferred it to be purple and not pink, or even green. I feel the pink is very watery looking and this is not a wateryperfume. Longevity=good.
qek285elipseskism – :
Just tried Florale at Sephora here in Italy and I find it really gorgeous! It retains the same DNA of the EDP but Florale has a clean and powdery feel which makes it really sexy! It is still rather sweet but so well blended.The lavander and peony here are just beautiful sillage and longevity are moderate but very noticeable.It is a very elegant and sensual fragrance I am in love
