L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette

L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette is a powdery, spiced floral with an aniseed softness, composed by Jacques Guerlain for Guerlain, dated 2021 in this edition, and marketed to women. Floral is the leading impression for everyone, sweetness follows for about a third, and spice, resin and citrus are noticed by a minority. Bergamot and neroli give a short, bright opening before anise adds its delicate, liquorice-like sweetness. The heart is carnation, violet, iris, rose and tuberose: the carnation brings a clove-like warmth, the violet and iris a cool powder, the rose and tuberose a fuller floral richness. The base of benzoin, tonka bean and vanilla is soft, balsamic and faintly sweet, the part that gives the scent its famous twilight melancholy. The character suggests autumn and evening wear, for anyone who likes powdery, old-style florals with a gentle, spiced sweetness.
