Guerlain Elixir Charnel Floral Romantique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Thierry Wasser. Elixir Charnel Floral Romantique opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Marron Glace, Cedar, Benzoin, and Tea. Guerlain's Elixir Charnel Floral Romantique carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Floral Romantique is a divisive one from Guerlain, described by some as a glamorous, high-quality white floral with gourmand sweetness, and by others as an overpriced, generic floral that quickly disappears. Best test on skin before committing.

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for many occasions, though some find it disappears too quickly. The floral and sweet accords lend themselves well to romantic and formal settings, but it's probably a bit too opulent for the gym.

About

Opens with a bright burst of mandarin, leading into a lush bouquet of white and yellow florals - jasmine, tiare flower, lily, and creamy ylang-ylang, spiced with carnation. As it settles, a soft tea note emerges, underpinned by the unique sweetness of marron glace and a warm, resinous benzoin with hints of cedar in the dry down.
