Myrrhe & Delires Guerlain, introduced to the world in 2012, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, belonging to the east and wood families. The author of this composition is Thierry Wasser, and that explains a lot. The fragrance belongs to the L'Art et la Matiere collection. Released in eau de parfum.
Behind this fragrance stands France and its rich perfumery heritage. Myrrhe & Delires Guerlain — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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 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 olfactory structure of Myrrhe & Delires evolves as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Guerlain comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
As soon as the fragrance opens you sense sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot and Grapefruit.
In the central layer you sense Jasmine, Osmanthus, Rose and Violet leaf holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Whiteflower, Floral and Green. The palette also extends to Balsamic, Spicy, Wood and Gourmet.
Taken together Myrrhe & Delires holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
