Les Bains Guerbois 1979 New Wave is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Dominique Ropion. 1979 New Wave settles into a heart of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Iris. Les Bains Guerbois's 1979 New Wave carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, unique, and fleeting - 1979 New Wave is a beautiful minty iris that sadly disappears too quickly. Some find it a masterpiece, others a toothpasty oddity with questionable longevity for the price. Definitely sample before committing.

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it ideal for office and casual wear. The limited longevity and sillage mean it won't overwhelm, but it's perhaps too understated for formal events and not quite 'sporty' in profile.

About

Mint leads the charge, bright and effervescent with aldehydes, giving way to a cool, creamy iris heart. This is softened by a delicate powdery accord and grounded by a clean, woody base of cedar and sandalwood. The overall impression is fresh, yet surprisingly rich and nostalgic.
