Guerlain Le Songe de la Reine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Thierry Wasser. Le Songe de la Reine opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Iris and Fig, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Guerlain's Le Songe de la Reine carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Alright, Guerlain, we get it - this is exclusive. But for such a hyped bottle, the scent itself plays it safe. It's perfectly pleasant, don't get us wrong, but there's a distinct whiff of 'been there, done that' about it. A good solid, luxurious scent, but not a groundbreaking one.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Le Songe de la Reine opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, given a subtle kick by pink pepper. It then mellows into a wonderfully soft, powdery iris at its heart, complemented by the unusual, slightly green sweetness of fig. The drydown is a grounding, elegant blend of creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and crisp cedar, creating a sophisticated woody finish that lingers beautifully.
