Mon Guerlain
A modern oriental-fougère for women built on French lavender, sambac jasmine and a creamy vanilla-sandalwood base. Soft, warm and contemporary.
Mon Guerlain opens on Lavender and Bergamot, moves through Sambac Jasmine and Iris, and dries down to Vanilla and Sandalwood. At $75 - $160 it is which sits at fair mid-range value, with long lasting (7h - 9h) on skin. A relatively safe blind buy for most wardrobes.

EXPERT ANALYSIS — COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE
Mon Guerlain is Guerlain's 2017 eau de parfum from perfumer Thierry Wasser. Our analysis examines its three-phase structure, its longevity and projection profile, and the occasions it serves best.
The Opening
From the first spray, Lavender, Bergamot establish a bright citrus and aromatic herb character that defines the top of the composition.
The Heart
Beneath the opening, a floral heart of Sambac Jasmine, Iris forms the signature most people will recognise.
The Dry-Down
The dry-down anchors on a dry woods and sweet gourmand base of Vanilla, Sandalwood, Coumarin, the phase that clings closest to skin and lasts longest.
Who Should Buy Mon Guerlain
Mon Guerlain leans feminine but is wearable by anyone who enjoys the style. Its season vector points strongest to spring, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to versatile day-to-night wear. If you gravitate toward bright citrus and floral compositions and want strong longevity, it belongs on your shortlist.
No major red flags in the composition, but fragrance is personal — skin chemistry can shift the balance of notes, so a sample wear is always wiser than a blind purchase at this price.
