La Petite Robe Noire in detail
La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum makes rose its heroine, according to Delphine Jelk, Guerlain's creative director for fragrance. Its "inverted heart" bottle, created in 1912, shades here from black to a powdery pink. The page gives neither a family, nor a year, nor a perfumer: Volute files this fragrance among florals.
The house names its notes without sorting them into tiers. Rose essence and Damask rose absolute, rendered as rose, give a round, almost honeyed flower. Black cherry and red berries add a fruity gourmand touch, almond a pastry-like sweetness and bergamot a fresh sparkle.
La Petite Robe Noire is worn in autumn, winter and spring, by day or in the evening. It is a playful, fruity, gourmand rose, for those who like soft yet assertive fragrances.
Three fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Rose Chérie, from the same house, in L'Art & La Matière, pairs rose and almond; Divin'Enfant by Etat Libre d'Orange and Enigma Pour Femme by Roja Parfums bring together bergamot and rose.
