Guerlain Chant d'Aromes

Guerlain Chant d'Aromes, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain in 1962, is a classic fruity floral with a resinous, woody base. Gourmand sweetness and flowers lead equally, with woody and resinous facets close behind and lighter fresh and citrus touches.

It opens with aldehydes and citrus, a sparkling, soapy brightness, joined by gardenia's creaminess and plum's ripe, dark sweetness. The heart is a bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang and honeysuckle, honeyed and sunny, with clove adding a warm, spicy accent. In the base, benzoin and vanilla bring a soft, balsamic sweetness, heliotrope an almond-like powder, while sandalwood, vetiver and frankincense add creamy wood, earthiness and a faint smoky haze.

The profile suggests a refined, vintage-style scent for daytime elegance, lunches, spring and autumn outings. It suits someone who loves classic Guerlain florals, with their powdery warmth and gentle sweetness, and who appreciates a composition from an earlier era.
