Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Velours is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. La Petite Robe Noire Velours opens with Sour Cherry, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Tea. Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Velours carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A love-it-or-hate-it flanker, Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Velours attempts to soften the original's punch, offering a velvety, more refined cherry-almond experience. It's often hailed as a less cloying, more elegant take, though some find it a synthetic headache.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile. The sweetness and fruity-floral character lend themselves well to dates and casual wear, while its 'velvety' elegance can suit some formal settings too. It's a bit too rich for an office staple and definitely not for sport.

About

Velours opens with a tart burst of sour cherry and zesty citrus before settling into a soft, powdery heart of rose, violet, and creamy almond. The dry-down reveals a comforting warmth from tonka bean and a subtle earthiness from tea and patchouli, creating a smooth, inviting finish. It's a sweet, fruity floral with a sophisticated edge.
