Les Bains Guerbois 1978 Les Bains Douches is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. 1978 Les Bains Douches opens with Whisky, Bitter Orange, Yuzu, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of White Tobacco, Rose, Heliotrope, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Mate, Virginia Cedarwood, Amber, and Cedar. Les Bains Guerbois's 1978 Les Bains Douches carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This boozy, tobacco-laced amber is either a sophisticated delight or a confusing muddle, depending on your skin chemistry and tolerance for 'old-school' vibes. Performance divides opinion, but its cosy charm for autumn nights is undeniable.

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for some daytime wear, but its boozy, warm character really shines in evening settings. It's often described as a 'gentleman in a suit' scent, making it perfect for dates or sophisticated formal events, though its relaxed nature can also fit casual autumn evenings.

About

Opens with an intriguing, zesty hit of bitter orange and yuzu, quickly followed by the sophisticated warmth of whisky, softened by a whisper of wormwood. The heart introduces a creamy white tobacco and delicate rose, alongside a powdery heliotrope and herbal clary sage. It dries down to a rich, resinous amber, grounding cedarwood, earthy patchouli, and a touch of mysterious myrrh, all underpinned by a distinct mate note.
