Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Couture is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Thierry Wasser. La Petite Robe Noire Couture opens with Bergamot and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Couture carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one; some see it as a sparkling, sophisticated take on the original, while others find it a generic, synthetic berry scent. It's often debated whether it truly embodies the "couture" elegance it promises.

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

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

Opens with a burst of sweet, juicy raspberry and bright bergamot, creating a sparkling and almost cherry-like impression. A soft rose heart emerges, delicate and floral, before settling into an earthy, woody base of vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss, softened by tonka bean. It's a fruity chypre with an unexpected depth.
