Guerlain Promenade des Anglais is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Thierry Wasser. Promenade des Anglais opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Fig, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Lily Of The Valley, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk, Orris, and Heliotrope. Guerlain's Promenade des Anglais carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This classy Guerlain offers a divisive performance but unifies admirers in its perfectly balanced green fig and powdery violet. It's a delicate, elegant scent, beloved for its sophisticated femininity, though many lament its fleeting presence and high price tag.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its soft sillage and elegant, subtle character make it ideal for office wear and sophisticated casual events. While beautiful, its perceived lack of longevity and intimate projection mean it might struggle to make a statement on a formal evening out or a dynamic date, though it's still a lovely close-quarters scent.

About

Opens with a surprisingly zesty, green burst of violet leaf and bergamot, leading into the gentle sweetness of fig and redcurrant. The heart unfurls with a powdery bouquet of violet, mimosa, and rose, softened by lily of the valley. It settles into a chic base of musky orris and heliotrope, creating a smooth, elegant drydown that's both fresh and sophisticated.
