Guerlain Mayotte is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Mayotte opens with Neroli and Frangipani, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Mayotte carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is Guerlain's 'Mahora 2.0', a divisive relaunch that smells like a luxurious, creamy, tropical escape to some, but an overpriced, watered-down echo of its predecessor with poor performance to others. You'll either adore it or feel ripped off.

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.

With strong sillage and a rich, luxurious floral profile, Mayotte is better suited for occasions where it can make a statement, like dates or evening events. Its intensity makes it less ideal for the office or active wear, but it's refined enough for a relaxed daytime outing.

About

Mayotte opens with a bright, sweet burst of neroli and the exotic, creamy sweetness of frangipani, immediately transporting you to a sun-drenched island. The heart blossoms into a rich bouquet of heady jasmine, narcotic tuberose, and the distinctive, banana-like fruitiness of ylang-ylang. As it settles, a smooth base of warm vanilla, earthy vetiver, and creamy sandalwood emerges, grounding the flamboyant florals in a sophisticated, golden embrace.
