Guerlain La Cuvée Secrète is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Thierry Wasser. La Cuvée Secrète opens with Bergamot and Petitgrain, and settles into a heart of Lavender. Guerlain's La Cuvée Secrète carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper enigma. A lovely, classic cologne-style scent that vanishes faster than a politician's promise. It's a fleeting whisper of 'nice' for an 'ouch' price.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light profile makes it suitable for office wear or casual settings, but its extremely poor longevity means it won't last long enough for a date or a formal event. It's a quick splash and go, much like a traditional eau de cologne, making it good for a refresh after sport.

About

It opens with a zesty, bright burst of bergamot, sharply fresh and uplifting. Quickly, the petitgrain and lavender enter, adding a clean, aromatic greenness, very much in the traditional cologne style. It's herbaceous and airy, a transparent, classic citrus-aromatic composition that promises invigorating freshness, but unfortunately it doesn't stick around long enough to truly deliver.
