Guerlain Nahéma Extract is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 1979, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Nahéma Extract opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Hyacinth and Passion Flower, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Nahéma Extract carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A legendary rose that's both lauded as a masterpiece and dismissed as dated. This is a complex, old-school floral; if you're not into vintage vibes, it's not for you.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its complex and classic profile, make it better suited for more formal occasions or intimate date nights rather than casual or athletic wear. While some might find it too intense for the office, its elegance can work for a refined professional setting.

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.

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

Nahéma Extract unfurls with a rich, almost jammy rose, layered with a subtle fruitiness from passion flower. As it settles, the sophisticated green facet of hyacinth emerges, grounding the opulent floral heart. The dry down is a luxurious, creamy blend of sandalwood and vanilla, with earthy patchouli and warm tonka bean providing a deep, resonant finish that lingers beautifully.
