Guerlain Épices Exquises is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Thierry Wasser. Épices Exquises opens with Pink Pepper and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Pepper, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Guerlain's Épices Exquises carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Some find its exotic spice blend a 'straight banger', while others are left cold by what they see as a 'watered down' reformulation. Approach with caution, but if it hits right, it really hits right.

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.

However, the warm and sensual accords are perfect for sophisticated date nights or formal events, leaving a memorable sillage without being 'too much' as some reviewers mentioned.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Imagine stepping into an old-world spice market, but with a modern twist. Initial fresh bursts of pink pepper and cardamom are quickly joined by a heart of black pepper, adding an invigorating kick. As it settles, warm sandalwood and deep oud emerge, balanced by earthy patchouli in a rich, enveloping dry-down. It's an exotic journey for the senses.
