Guerlain Angélique Noire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Daniela Andrier. Angélique Noire opens with Angelica, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Caraway and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vanilla. Guerlain's Angélique Noire carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive yet frequently adored green vanilla, Angélique Noire balances warmth and freshness unlike anything else. While some find it too green, too powdery, or even 'celery-like', its fans hail it as a sophisticated, elegant masterpiece for a reason. Don't dismiss it until you've tried it on skin.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Angélique Noire opens with a vibrant, sparkling greenness from angelica and a subtle lift from pear, laced with a hint of pink pepper's zing. This freshness quickly melts into a creamy, almost tea-like vanilla heart, where jasmine and a touch of caraway add an aromatic, slightly powdery depth. The dry-down reveals a warm, musky vanilla grounded by soft cedar, maintaining its unique green-sweet balance throughout.
