Guerlain Marie Claire is a Parfum launched in 1996, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Marie Claire opens with Orange, Jasmine, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Tuberose and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Marie Claire carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't just a tuberose bomb; it's a sophisticated, creamy floral with an intriguing green edge. A rare Guerlain that hits all the right notes for those seeking a classic, bold white floral.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its dominant white floral and tuberose accords, combined with a 'bold' and 'rich' character, make it more suitable for formal events and dates rather than the office or casual wear. The 'old school manner' also suggests it's not a go-to for daily casual use or gym.

About

Opens with a vibrant, slightly green burst of jasmine and juicy apricot-orange, quickly evolving into a rich, creamy heart dominated by opulent tuberose and exotic ylang-ylang. The base unfurls with a warm, resinous blend of vetiver, sandalwood, and sweet vanilla, underpinned by a subtle, animalic musk and creamy tonka bean. It's a journey from luminous freshness to a deep, sensual dryness.
