Guerlain Impériale Edition 160 Anniversaire is a Cologne launched in 2013, created by Thierry Wasser. Impériale Edition 160 Anniversaire opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Neroli, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Rosemary. Guerlain's Impériale Edition 160 Anniversaire carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A sparkling, short-lived burst of pure citrus sunshine. It's gloriously uplifting but don't expect it to hang around long enough to make much of an impression.

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 citrus, aromatic and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its supremely fresh and light nature makes it perfect for casual daywear, and the subtle sillage ensures it's office-appropriate. However, its brief projection and longevity mean it's not well-suited for occasions where you need a lasting presence, like a date or formal event.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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 a basket overflowing with sun-ripened lemons and bergamot, their zesty oils misting the air. This bright, invigorating opening is quickly joined by the delicate, green-tinged sweetness of neroli, adding a clean, refined floral touch. As it settles, a whisper of cedar provides a subtle, grounding woodiness, barely there but extending the fresh, aromatic feel with a hint of warm rosemary.
