La Petite Robe Noire

La Petite Robe Noire, a Cherry Gourmand

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire is a cherry gourmand. Our version keeps that feel, opening with black cherry, almond, and bergamot before a rose and licorice heart settles over vanilla, tonka bean, and patchouli.

The Story Behind the Scent

Guerlain built La Petite Robe Noire around black cherry, all juicy fruit and soft almond over sweet vanilla and dark licorice. The idea was a chic, playful femininity.

That sweet playfulness is its appeal. The black cherry and almond keep it juicy, the rose and licorice add a soft, dark heart, and the vanilla and tonka give it a rich, gourmand base. Our interpretation follows that same chic path.
