Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

A contrasting, bittersweet interpretation of angelica

In this veritable olfactory theatre, Angélique Noire performs a spectacular choreography of opposites.

All too often weakly dosed due to its difficult bitterness, the angelica flower now unveils itself after coming into contact with opulent vanilla, its powerful and fascinating opposite. Accompanied by pink pepper and cedar, the contrast is overwhelming.

The fragrance artist’s touch

Half-angel, half-demon, the verdant, crisp and herbal bitterness of angelica is kept at bay by the enveloping sweetness of vanilla.

"If it were a ballet, Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky."

Like in this classic ballet in which white swan and black swan are locked in a merciless struggle, Angélique Noire portrays a bittersweet confrontation.

Angelica

Seldom used by perfumers, angelica is distinguished by its verdant, bitter notes, bringing to the fragrance a breath of freshness right from the top.

Angélique Noire incorporates two essences produced in France, namely angelica seed essence and angelica root essence.

In the Perfumer’s words

“In this fragrance in chiaroscuro lighting, the bitter flower is confronted with a delicious vanilla elixir in order to emerge more mesmerising than ever before. An exquisite mystery; a sweet sorcery.”

Thierry Wasser,
Guerlain Master Perfumer
