Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Ma Première Robe 2016 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Thierry Wasser. La Petite Robe Noire Ma Première Robe 2016 opens with Sour Cherry, Red Fruits, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose and Almond, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Licorice, and Tea. Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Ma Première Robe 2016 carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one, with some finding its cherry and licorice notes a bit much, invoking memories of cough syrup. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but if you appreciate a bolder, more gothic gourmand, this might just be your cup of tea.

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 Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on sweet, fruity and patchouli - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, sweet and fruity character, with noticeable patchouli and licorice, makes it a bit too bold for office wear. However, these same qualities lend themselves well to a date night or casual evening out, offering a distinct and memorable presence without being overly formal.

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

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

A dark, fruity opening of sour cherry and red berries kicks things off, quickly joined by the sweet, nutty embrace of almond. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of rose blends with a unique licorice and tea accord, grounded by warm tonka bean and earthy patchouli. It’s a sweet, woody journey with a distinct bittersweet edge.
