Guerlain Imagine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Thierry Wasser. Imagine opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Tea. Guerlain's Imagine carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's proper divisive. You'll either love its unique blend of tartness and floral freshness, or you'll be left scratching your head. A bold, much-lamented release from Guerlain, now sadly discontinued and highly sought after.

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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 kicks off with a zesty, almost piquant burst of grapefruit and rhubarb, tempered by bright bergamot. This vibrant green and aromatic opening soon gives way to a heart of delicate rose and powdery violet, underpinned by a hint of warm cardamom. As it settles, a grounding black tea accord emerges, mingling with clean vetiver and a subtle cedar, leaving a unique, fresh-yet-grounded trail.
