Champs Elysees

by Jacques Guerlain , Olivier Cresp , Jean-Paul Guerlain

Guerlain Champs Elysees is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996, created by Jacques Guerlain, Olivier Cresp, and Jean-Paul Guerlain. The fragrance opens with Melon, Anise, Violet, and Peach, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Almond Blossom, and dries down to a base of Almond Blossom, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Benzoin.

Our verdict on Champs Elysees: Acquired

Champs Elysees is a Guerlain 'modern classic' with a divisive charm. While some swoon over its sparkling floral and fruity embrace, others find it a dated, even 'boring' concoction, particularly with newer formulations. Best for those who appreciate a nod to 90s sweetness.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

This EDT's generally moderate sillage and 'light' to 'subtle' nature make it wearable for many settings, though some find it can project strongly. Its romantic floral and fruity character leans heavily towards date nights and casual spring/summer outings, while its elegance suits daytime formal events. However, its sweetness and projection can be too much for a confined office environment and is entirely unsuitable for sport.

About

Imagine a vibrant spring garden bursting with life. Champs Elysees opens with a sweet, juicy symphony of melon and peach, brightened by a hint of almond and the delicate, green essence of violet and blackcurrant. As it settles, a lush bouquet of lilac, mimosa, and lily-of-the-valley takes centre stage, underscored by a soft, creamy base of almond blossom, sandalwood, and a touch of vanilla, maintaining an elegant balance without being overtly powdery.
