Guerlain Muguet 1998 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1998, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Muguet 1998 opens with Green Notes and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood.

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.

Its formal floral character and solid longevity make it suitable for more refined events, though it could be a bit much for a casual setting. While not a typical 'office scent,' its clean florals could work in a professional environment if applied lightly.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Muguet 1998 opens with a burst of fresh green notes and sharp bergamot, immediately setting a bright, natural tone. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet where the star, lily of the valley, reigns supreme, beautifully complemented by the sweet indolic nuances of jasmine, the powdery scent of lilac, and a soft whisper of rose. As it settles, a clean white musk and creamy sandalwood emerge, grounding the lively florals with a warm, sophisticated finish that lingers beautifully on the skin.
