Mayotte Guerlain, released in 2006, is marketed as a feminine fragrance, drawing from the floral family. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain. Created within the Parisiennes collection and available in eau de parfum.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. Country of origin — France, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Mayotte unfolds as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Guerlain is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Floral, Wood and Amber with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High indicates a stable lasting impression. In trail behavior Middle describes the way the scent radiates.
Right at the start you meet fresh floral top notes: Frangipani and Neroli.
In the middle phase you meet Tuberose and ylang-ylang carrying a creamy tuberose direction. At drydown level the composition is fixed through Ambergris, Sandalwood and Vetiver, shaping a deep woody trail.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Floral, Whiteflower, Ambery and Wood. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Floral.
Overall Mayotte holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
