Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Collector Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Thierry Wasser. La Petite Robe Noire Collector Edition opens with Sour Cherry, Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Almond, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, Rose, Licorice, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Anise, Patchouli, Iris, and Vanilla. Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Collector Edition carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive cherry-licorice-patchouli bomb that either dries down to a magnificent almond soap or remains an 'unforgettable' synthetic mess. Some find it refined and grown up, others say it's just not a safe blind buy.

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.

Its bold, sweet, and fruity depth, especially the prominent cherry and licorice accords, make it more suited for evening occasions like dates or formal events than for the office. The 'unforgettable' nature mentioned by reviewers suggests it leaves a strong impression, which might be too much for everyday wear.

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 almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

This one bursts with a potent mix of sour cherry and almond, softened by red berries and bergamot. The heart reveals a boozy rose alongside distinctive tea and licorice notes, leading to a sophisticated base of iris and patchouli. Anise, tonka, and vanilla add a deep, sweet complexity that lingers beautifully.
