Derby

Guerlain Derby is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Derby opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Woody, Spicy, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Leather, Birch, and Patchouli. Guerlain's Derby carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

Derby is a true classic: unapologetically masculine, sophisticated, and a solid choice for the discerning gent who appreciates heritage. While some lament its reformulation, the 2012 release still earns its stripes as a powerhouse of timeless elegance.

About

Opening with a brisk citrus uplift of bergamot and orange, Derby quickly transitions into a rich, warm heart of spicy carnation and exotic woods. The base settles into a distinguished blend of deep leather, smoky birch, and earthy patchouli, creating a complex, well-rounded aroma with a subtle animalic edge.
