Guy Laroche Clandestine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1986, created by Daniel Molière. Clandestine opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Plum, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Guy Laroche's Clandestine carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore its maximalist charm, Clandestine is a rich, honeyed plum floral with a seductive animalic growl. It's not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for the right person.

About

Clandestine opens with a potent blast of aldehydic brightness, quickly enveloped by juicy plum and pineapple, then transitions into a decadent heart of honeyed tuberose, jasmine, and an edgy carnation. As it dries, it softens into a warm, powdery amber layered with a subtle, alluring civet and earthy patchouli, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated indulgence.
