L'Art & La Matière
A many-faceted floral interpretation of white musks
Whiter than white, an immaculate musk accord is highlighted by vibrant notes of neroli. Sculpted by the Guerlain Perfumer’s own hand, this musk monolith shatters to pieces, revealing a floral heart that beams anew with white radiance.
Like a genuine caress upon the skin, this floral bouquet of orange blossom absolute and Bulgarian rose awakens at the powdery touch of musks, ambrette and iris Pallida butter, a quintessentially Guerlain signature.

The fragrance artist’s touch
Between sensuality and softness, the musks reveal an embrace of delicate white.
"If it were a sculpture, The Kiss by Auguste Rodin."
Sculpting the musk like marble: this was the creative approach that the Guerlain Perfumers followed to craft a fragrance around musk. From the raw material emerges the most delicate of forms. An olfactory sculpture in the likeness of Auguste Rodin’s Kiss, it summons a preciously fragile love from the marble.

White musks
Lovingly embracing the skin, musks are materials that evoke clean, velvety scents between innocence and sensuality. Their elusively powdery fragrance mingles with the scent of the skin to produce an intimate, comforting and exceptionally long-lasting trail.
Musc Outreblanc is built around an accord of three white musks and one vegetal musk known as ambrette, a hibiscus seed extract with nuances of pear and iris.
