Guerlain Colours of Love is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Colours of Love opens with Kiwi, Grapefruit, Violet, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Mimosa, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Guerlain's Colours of Love carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive Guerlain, with some adoring its playful fruitiness and others dismissing it as straying too far from the brand's classic elegance. If you like your florals bright and your fruits juicy, this could be for you, but don't expect a weighty statement.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on fruity, powdery and violet floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its soft sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close-quarters wear without being overwhelming, leading to higher scores for casual and date settings. The youthful, fruity-floral profile isn't formal, and its lighter nature makes it surprisingly versatile for active occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Colours of Love bursts open with a vibrant, mouth-watering medley of passionfruit, kiwi, and grapefruit, instantly transporting you to sunnier climes. This tropical punch soon softens into a delicate bouquet of powdery violet, mimosa, and fresh rose, with a surprising hint of redcurrant leaf adding a subtle green edge. The dry down is clean and gentle, a whisper of musk and amber providing a barely-there, comfortable base.
