Guerlain Oeillet Pourpre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. Oeillet Pourpre opens with Clove and Pear, settles into a heart of Carnation and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Woody, Musk, and Leather. Guerlain's Oeillet Pourpre carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A smooth, spicy carnation scent, Guerlain's Oeillet Pourpre is unfortunately overshadowed by its predecessor, Lui. While a beautiful fragrance in its own right, the clamour for the original and its controversial repackaging mean this version struggles to fully shine, despite undeniable quality.

About

Opening with a sweet, almost gum-like burst of clove and juicy pear, Oeillet Pourpre quickly deepens. The heart blooms into a warm, spicy carnation, softened by the resinous sweetness of benzoin. As it settles, a rich tapestry of smoky leather, subtle vanilla, and woody musk emerges, enveloping the floral spice in a sophisticated embrace that's both comforting and alluring.
