Guerlain L’Heure Bleue. They say that either you’re a Shalimar person or a L’Heure Bleue person. Which one are you?
L’Heure Bleue is my favourite Guerlain unless I’m into a different one, in which case it’ll be that, but for right now it’s for sure this and it’s Perfume with a capital P.
The initial spray is a big lemony bergamot and slightly spiky aniseed, but the Iris carnation heart settles down into a warm skin scent, a dry vanilla pod, tonka, a touch of benzoin. You can’t even tell where one stops and the other begins and I think that’s something most of my favourite perfumes have in common.
Here’s some more thoughts on it that I posted to Youtube.
