I wonder what they were thinking at Guerlain when coming up with the name for this perfume. There is absolutely nothing sexy or romantic in Pd’A, by which I am not saying it isn’t good. In fact, it is absolutely amazing for hot summer days like today. To me it evokes scorching summer afternoons laying in a meadow of dry grass and wild herbs, with the scent of distant flower gardens on the breeze. It smells herbaceous, almost medicinal, has an sense of wholesomeness, and a quite air of the introvert, yet…somehow at the same time it is also rather quirky and eccentric. Keeps me on my toes all day long, never fails to entertain my nose. Highly recommended if you can find it.

It brings back good memories. Of times when everything was simply better.

This does not contain “Myrrh”, it’s “Myrtle”.

How is it possible for a bitter juice to have the title “philtre d’Amour”? I believe it’s quite possible since the creator is Jean-Paul Guerlain. It’s not a common perfume. Citrus, green and extremely bitter at the opening but the drydown is soft, warm and why not,romantic. As Nakedcity has already written, the citrus note lasts unusually long but I also think that it’s always there and when it’s time for the flowers to show up, it gives them a great freshness and shine. Moreover, the myrhh is very intense to my nose and imho it gives the composition a warm and earthy quality. It seems like being a simple perfume but in fact it’s multi-dimensional and it depends on one’s skin chemistry. And maybe that’s the reason they named it “philtre”…

Very elegant and down to earth citrus, with the right amount of flowers and greenery to make it unisex. The citrus note lasts unusually long, I suspect a touch of oakmoss is giving it a hand, but it never goes the chypre way. It’s very austere but approachable thanks to the white flowers. The patchouli is clean and earthy but not minty, just lovely. The bottle is very elegant and has a lavender hue in certain lighting. I’m happy I have my bottle considering it’s become hard to find now. Recommended!

This brings back to my memory Verveine, a very pleasant eau de toilette by Guerlain. Such a pity that it is so hard to find it!

One of the best Guerlains I have come across and would not hesitate a second to purchase a bottle of it (the question remains, O Where?). It is subtle and elegant and reminds me of watching yellow and brown leaves fall off the trees in a grand park. There is just this hint of decay and earthiness in there with some crispness and melancholy of the fall season…

I would dearly love to try this one again, does anyone know where to purchase it?

My mother bought this for me on a trip, and it was my first experience with Guerlain. I was young, but I liked it. I was worried back then that people around me would not like it though. Nowadays I have no such worries. It’s quite unique.

Love it and only wear it on special occasions. Its very green and not sweet at all.
