Muguet 1998 Guerlain, unveiled in 1998, is officially considered a feminine fragrance, rooted in the floral family. The inspiration and craft behind the bottle belong to Jacques Guerlain and Jean-Paul Guerlain. Muguet 1998 is part of the Muguet collection. The fragrance concentration is eau de toilette.
Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Muguet 1998 evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Guerlain is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Green, Whiteflower and Floral. The framework further includes Wood and Musk. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Floral.
In the first seconds you catch radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot and Green Chord.
In the middle phase you notice Jasmine, Lilac, Lily of the Valley and Rose keeping a creamy tuberose direction. At drydown level the composition is fixed through Sandalwood and musk, reinforcing a deep woody trail.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Muguet 1998 holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
