Notes of bergamot, grapefruit are enveloped in a sultry combination of narcissus flower and violet, giving a divinely sweet and warm scent.

The newest addition to the Mon Guerlain range is carefully crafted with the classic pairing of lavender and vanilla, but smells fresher than the combination of these heady ingredients might suggest. Inspired by the tenacity and sensual femininity of the fragrance’s ambassador Angelina Jolie, the scent opens with carla lavender, sambac jasmine, then fades into the rich fragrance of Bulgarian rose, complemented by honeyed Turkish rose absolute.
