Terracotta Voile d'Été (No.25, Quand Vient l'Été)

by Jean-Paul Guerlain , Mathilde Laurent

Guerlain Terracotta Voile d'Été (No.25, Quand Vient l'Été) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and Mathilde Laurent. Terracotta Voile d'Été (No.25, Quand Vient l'Été) settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Iris, Pear, and Mint. Guerlain's Terracotta Voile d'Été (No.25, Quand Vient l'Été) carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a personality test. While some find it a gorgeous, warm, spicy floral, others are utterly baffled by its 'root beer', 'bug spray', or even 'dental office' aroma. This one's truly love-it-or-hate-it, so sample before you splurge on a vintage bottle.

Its moderate sillage and 'subtle tendrils' make it fairly office-safe, though the spicy florals might be too much for some. It truly shines in casual settings, particularly warm weather, with some finding it perfect for evenings out because of its developing spice. It's not suited for sport due to its warm, spicy nature.

About

Terracotta Voile d'Été opens with a unique, almost metallic spicy carnation, a note that defines its divisive character, occasionally tinged with pear and creamy ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds with a blend of lily, iris, and a ghost of rose, all underpinned by a soft, warm vanilla haze. Heliotrope and a whisper of mint add an unusual freshness to this floral-spicy oriental. It dries down to a comforting, subtly sweet, and powdery finish.
