Guerlain Chant d'Aromes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1962, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Chant d'Aromes opens with Citrus, Gardenia, Plum, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Honeysuckle, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Chant d'Aromes carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Chant d'Aromes is a truly divisive Guerlain. Some find it a timeless, comforting classic, while others reckon it's a dated aldehyde bomb best left to grandmothers. You'll either love its vintage charm or find it hopelessly out of touch.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Its moderate projection and often-described 'clean' or 'soapy' character make it suitable for office wear, especially in its later, softer stages. While elegant enough for formal settings, its distinct vintage feel might not appeal to everyone on a date. Many reviewers suggest it's a relaxed, everyday scent.

About

It bursts open with bright aldehydes and citrus, a clean, almost soapy zing, softened by a hint of juicy plum and gardenia. As it settles, a lush bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and honeysuckle emerges, underpinned by warm clove. The dry down is a comforting embrace of woody vetiver and sandalwood, with a gentle touch of vanilla and frankincense, leaving a powdery, sophisticated trace.
