The best mistake of my life walking in here. If you know Guerlain, you know you are in for a treat. I've always associated Guerlain with old and antiquated but I couldnt be more wrong.
We were warmly greeted by Elena and conversed easily in Spanish. This woman knows her stuff and after working there for 25 years, i'd expect nothing less. Even though the fragrances are in the front of the store, I wasnt overwhelmed with scents blasting in my face.
When I described the type of scents Im drawn to, she shared two with me: first one being Double Vanilla, which was divine! Definitely gourmand and heavy without being obnoxious and overbearing. The second scent was Angelique Noire. I am so not a floral scent woman but this scent drove me bananas. It is sensual and alluring opening with subtle florals and just greenery, and then settles into a warm woodsy vanilla - just incredible. You cant tell me I dont smell rich and the wear def gives longevity. If you cant tell, this is the one I purchased.
We spent quite some time chatting with her and other team members about scents and just life experiences in general, while enjoying a cooling drink because Paris was rather warm in late July.
An incredible experience and since both of the scents we purchased are sold exclusively in Paris, all the more reason to return and meet with Elena again! read more
