Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

A transgressive, leathery interpretation of the carnation

Capacity : 200 ML

The fragrance artist’s touch

Carnation accord

A vintage scent that was in vogue in the early 18th century, the carnation is a mute flower. It does not offer up its fragrance as one would expect through the traditional techniques of distillation or extraction.

As such, each perfumer has creative freedom to interpret the fragrance as they see fit, in the form of an accord.

So very Guerlain, the carnation accord in Œillet Pourpre combines notes of rose and spices.

In the Perfumer’s words

“The carnation is such a beautiful, poetic flower. I have reinterpreted it using the various facets of benzoin to make it more provocative.”
Delphine Jelk,
Guerlain Perfumer
