Guerlain Oriental Brulant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Christine Nagel. Oriental Brulant opens with Green and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Almond, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Styrax.

A tragically discontinued Guerlain that's become something of a unicorn. This is a glorious, sweet and sensual gourmand, beloved by many and desperately missed. If you can find a bottle, snap it up.

About

Oriental Brulant opens with a surprising green brightness, quickly joined by the zesty pop of tangerine for an uplifting zest. The heart is dominated by a creamy, slightly nutty almond, giving it a gourmand richness. As it settles, a warm, enveloping cloud of vanilla and tonka bean emerges, supported by the resinous depth of styrax. It's a sweet, amber-rich oriental with a delightful balsamic hum.
