Guerlain Le Frenchy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Thierry Wasser and Aimé Guerlain. Le Frenchy opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Citron, Petitgrain, Neroli, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Ambergris. Guerlain's Le Frenchy carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a truly classic French aromatic citrus that everyone wants to love, but the price tag is a sticking point. Many consider it a modern masterpiece in the genre, with a few finding it too herbaceous or simple for the cost. If you can justify the outlay, you'll be smelling fantastic.

About

Le Frenchy opens with a zesty, bracing blast of lemon, bergamot, and verbena, invigorating the senses like a crisp summer morning. This bright citrus quickly blends with an aromatic heart of petitgrain, neroli, and lavender, underpinned by the earthy, slightly herbal depth of sage. The dry down introduces a sophisticated warmth, with rich vetiver and a distinct, salty ambergris adding a unique complexity, softened by a hint of tonka bean.
