It’s a public holiday here, so here’s a bite-sized beauty hors d’oeuvres for you to snack on! I received a little while ago, the new Guerlain Mon Guerlain Florale perfume. Perfumes are so hard to talk about in depth, for someone who isn’t that clever with her nose, so a bite-sized post fits the bill perfectly!
Guerlain launched their Angelia Jolie inspired and fronted Mon Guerlain perfume last year, but I haven’t smelled it. Mon Guerlain Florale is the lighter, more floral version of the original. What I’d say is this – if you like floral perfumes, then you may enjoy this one. I personally do not, so this isn’t one I’d pick for myself.
However, I must say that I do like the bottle. It is a beautiful hefty piece with rose gold accents that is very trendy right now. This, coupled with the transparent pink liquid perfume within makes for a pretty picture 🙂
The new notes added are peony and Sambac jasmine. For me, the opening note is that of a slightly musky lavender, which then rounds off to something a little sweeter, and markedly floral in flavour. I don’t take to floral fragrances very well, and this one is very very floral. Very feminine and very sweet.
I do find that it is very safe and a little unoriginal. Mon Guerlain Florale is a floral perfume, and isn’t very distinctive to my nose. It didn’t leave much of an impression on me, which is a pity, because for me, fragrances often trigger a memory or emotion in me. This unfortunately did not.
All that said however, fragrance is also a very personal thing. What I enjoy may not sit well with someone else, and vice versa. I think what Guerlain made in Mon Guerlain Florale was a very crowd-pleasing scent that will sit well with those who love floral scents.
Have you smelled Mon Guerlain or this new Mon Guerlain Florale?
Are they scents that sit well with you, or do you like floral scents in general? 🙂 Note: This is being rehomed with Irene 🙂

June 17, 2018 at 6:17 amI remember watching a video titled “top 5 sexiest women perfumes” by Jeremy Perfume, and the #1 on his list was Mon Guerlain (an earlier version, not this one – with notes of lavender, bergamot and tonka beans). This combi of peony and jasmine reminds me of a jo malone one which i ?. My nose has always been partial towards floral-fresh, esp if its not too strong, and judging from his description, it sounds amazing! (although it should smell amazing too, lol). Maybe it is also abit of an eye-candy as well of the presenter, although he ought to tone it down on the salesman-ish vibe. lol.

June 17, 2018 at 3:47 pmI generally try to stay away from sweet scents but for some reason when it has certain floral notes too, I can be swayed otherwise! 😀 Guerlain do make some remarkably nice scents as I do quite enjoy their Idylle perfume.

June 19, 2018 at 10:42 amLove the floral notes described. I had Idylle which was divine, so I’m guessing this would be along the same floral lines too.

June 19, 2018 at 2:10 pmAhhh I love floral perfume more than fruity one. Amongst my favourites are enternity moment and ellie saab. Tried the fruity perfume from polo but didn’t get the hang of it. I don’t think fruity blended well with my natural smells.. ? Happy holidays to u Paris..

June 19, 2018 at 2:11 pmHaven’t tried many floral perfumes. Will try to catch a whiff the next time I’m out!
Gin says
June 19, 2018 at 2:22 pmI love floral perfumes. It works well with me.
My favourite so far is Marc Jacob daisy and Jo malone bluebells. I like jasmine and peony. But I have yet to come across both of this blend with musky lavender!
Would love to try this!
Puteri says
June 19, 2018 at 3:36 pmOoh I would love to win this! Still haven’t found my signature scent yet, maybe this could be the one for me.

June 19, 2018 at 5:15 pmHunting this elusive Mon Guerlain Florale post and here I am..A whiff of Carla lavender and Peony may transform me into the elegance of an Angelina Jolie ; a wish is never harmful but ever so hopeful ?

June 19, 2018 at 6:11 pmHi, Paris B.
Really enjoy reading this informative blog of yours. Here’s me trying out my luck in winning this bottle of florals extravaganza.
I used to not favour in floral perfumes but I guess there are always exceptions in every rule.
My exception happened the other day when I was out hunting for a new perfume for myself. I was lucky enough to be able to catch a sniff of this perfume after reading the your review on it . Surprisingly, found myself fall in love with the scent right away! So I did try it and it really sat well with me. But due to the hefty price tag of this perfume I just had to let it go.
Hope I get to be the lucky one to win away a bottle of Mon Guerlain Florale and make this my scent for as long as it can be. ?
Thank you and happy blogging.

June 19, 2018 at 9:00 pmThanks for the feed of a new Guerlain Mon Guerlain Florale perfume. The brand never fails to amaze me each time they launch a new perfume. This perfume would perfectly blend with me as it’s create a charismatic personality and so refreshing as I work in corporate line which need me to looks elegent, confident and smell good 😉
Hope to see you again for the next event for a product review. Thank you ?

June 19, 2018 at 11:51 pmI find that as I get older, I’m starting to like light floral scents… that being said, I’m a bit scared I might end up like those old aunties with super strong, cheap floral perfume when I’m old and grey!!
Sandra says
June 20, 2018 at 9:30 amI have Guerlain’s Meteorites pearls but I haven’t tried their fragrances.. Also, anything sweet – I’m in! 😉

June 20, 2018 at 3:28 pmI’d love to try this! It’ll be the first perfume in 10 years!
Susin says
June 23, 2018 at 5:17 pmHi Paris, good to read your blog about perfumes. I enjoyed reading your reviews about perfumes. Yes I like floral scent such as rose and peony. I am using Chloe and I have L’occitane peony before which I shared with my mum. I never sniff Guerlian before. It seems not available in JB. Or maybe I can find it in Sephora? If I ever have a chance to win this I will share this with mum. Thanks for the beautiful review.

July 12, 2018 at 5:32 amSounds pretty boring to me; I love real flowers but haven’t come across many floral perfumes that I like. The new Tom Ford is more up my alley!
Paris B says
July 17, 2018 at 3:55 pmHaha I quite liked that new Tom Ford! Smells pretty much like any other man’s fragrance, but I felt it was interesting enough that women could quite easily wear it.
