La Petite Robe Noire Flacon Baccarat et Dentelle d'Argent
by Guerlain
La Petite Robe Noire Flacon Baccarat et Dentelle d'Argent by Guerlain is a soft, sweet-gourmand fragrance with strong vanilla, creamy almond, and cherry accords, balanced by powdery iris and subtle patchouli. The scent unfolds with a delicate, plush texture—reminiscent of a silken, powdered dress—ideal for winter wear, especially during evening hours. The bottle itself is consistently praised as stylish, intricate, and artfully designed, appearing like a decorative piece from a fairy tale. The fragrance is highly feminine in both scent and presentation, with no ambiguity in its gender appeal. Its sillage is moderate to strong, though longevity is brief, with only a moderate percentage reporting long wear. Some find the smell overly sweet or syrupy, and several commenters note its limited presence on the skin despite its strong visual presence.
