Guerlain Rose Nacree du Desert is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Thierry Wasser. Rose Nacree du Desert opens with Patchouli, Rose, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cedar, Oud, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Benzoin and Myrrh. Guerlain's Rose Nacree du Desert carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This is a seriously opulent rose-oud, a standout amongst many, but watch out: it's not a blind buy for everyone. Its divisive nature means you'll either adore its rich, dark beauty or find it completely overwhelming.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for the office. However, the luxurious and sensual blend of rose and oud is perfect for evening dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit too heavy for casual wear.

About

Rose Nacree du Desert unfurls with a rich, velvety rose, draped in warm, spicy saffron. The heart reveals a clean, well-integrated oud, avoiding the animalic pitfalls often associated with the note. Earthy patchouli and a hint of amber provide depth and a luxurious, smooth finish, evoking a grand, romantic sensibility that lasts for ages.
