Guerlain Les Secrets de Sophie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Les Secrets de Sophie opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Violet Leaf, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Incense. Guerlain's Les Secrets de Sophie carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A modern Guerlain gem that sadly fell out of production - expect a bright, spicy orange blossom with a sophisticated twist. It's got that old-world charm mixed with contemporary wearability, making it a truly luxurious pick if you can find it.

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.

Office Casual

While quite elegant, its contemporary brightness allows it to be suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The sensual floral and warm base notes make it an excellent choice for dates and formal events, though perhaps less so for very casual or sporting activities.

About

Les Secrets de Sophie opens with a lively burst of bitter orange and neroli, zesty and invigorating. This bright citrus quickly softens into a heart of lush white florals, with orange blossom taking centre stage, supported by creamy ylang-ylang and a subtle, green violet leaf. The base settles into a warm, sensual embrace of vanilla and musky tonka bean, uplifted by a light, lemony incense that prevents it from becoming too heavy, offering a sophisticated, almost animalic depth.
