Guerlain Cheval Blanc is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Delphine Jelk. Cheval Blanc opens with Bergamot and Fig, settles into a heart of Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Guerlain's Cheval Blanc carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a dreamy, understated elegance in a bottle. For others, it's an overpriced, muddled mess that smells vaguely 'rancid'. Proceed with caution and a good quality sample.

About

Cheval Blanc opens with a creamy, almost chewy fig, brightened by a whisper of bergamot. The heart unfolds into a soft, powdery iris cloud, offering an ethereal sensation. Beneath this, a base of milky sandalwood and clean, sweet musk provides a warm, grounded finish. It’s a delicate balance of fruity and powdery sweetness, underpinned by a woody depth.
