Guerlain Les Voyages Olfactifs 02 Paris-New York is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Les Voyages Olfactifs 02 Paris-New York opens with Orange and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Rose, Narcissus, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, and Canadian Fir Balsam. Guerlain's Les Voyages Olfactifs 02 Paris-New York carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Guerlain's Paris-New York swings wildly between 'unique masterpiece' and 'rubber and plastic disaster'. If you can get past the initial oddities, you might find a comforting, spicy woodsy scent, but it's clearly not for everyone.

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.

About

Guerlain takes a trip across the Atlantic with a curious blend of warm spices and dark woods. Expect a captivating mix of cinnamon and cardamom, mingling with the balsamic depth of fir resin and cedar. A hint of plum and cherry blossom adds a fleeting sweetness, while vanilla provides a rich, comforting base that rounds out this complex aroma.
