Les Bains Guerbois 1885 Bains Sulfureux is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Dorothée Piot. 1885 Bains Sulfureux opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Blackcurrant, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Les Bains Guerbois's 1885 Bains Sulfureux carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive scent that aims for a spa-like aromatic experience but can lean towards medicinal or churchy for some. If you appreciate a herbal-incense blend with a modern touch, this might be your cool, signature scent, otherwise, it's a hard pass.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and clean, slightly spa-like aroma make it suitable for casual wear and less intrusive office settings. While unique, its herbal and incense character may be too casual for formal events and not energetic enough for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a brisk, green burst of rosemary and bright citrus notes like mandarin and bergamot, hinting at a natural, almost medicinal freshness. As it settles, a clean white floral heart of orange blossom and jasmine emerges, seamlessly blending into a warm, resinous base. Incense, labdanum, and benzoin provide a smoky, amber-like depth, balanced by creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, all softened by a subtle musk and tonka bean sweetness.
