Guerlain Apres l'Ondee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1906, created by Jacques Guerlain. Apres l'Ondee opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Anise, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Iris, and Heliotrope. Guerlain's Apres l'Ondee carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Apres l'Ondee is a profoundly poetic and divisive scent. Some find it a masterpiece of delicate melancholy, evocative of a bygone era. Others are left scratching their heads, or worse, smelling old lipstick or bathroom cleaner. Longevity is a common grievance, though many deem its fleeting nature part of its charm.

When To Wear

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its soft sillage and delicate nature make it suitable for office and casual wear, while its romantic and classic aura fits well for dates. The fleeting longevity means it's not ideal for formal events requiring enduring presence, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.

About

Imagine a cool, damp spring morning after the rain. Apres l'Ondee opens with a whisper of bright neroli and tart redcurrant leaf, softened by the delicate liquorice-like touch of anise. It quickly blossoms into a powdery heart of iris and violet, evoking cherished memories and quiet contemplation. A backdrop of creamy vanilla, amber, and subtle woods provides a soft landing, making it ultimately gentle and ethereal from top to base.
