Oriental Brulant

by Christine Nagel

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 Styrax, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Oriental Brulant carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Its rich, gourmand nature and likely moderate sillage make it suitable for dates and formal events, where its luxurious feel can shine. While some found it acceptable for office wear, its warmth and projection might be too much for casual settings or sport.

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.
