A legend of first love, trembling with rose, iris & vanilla. From the head L' Initial sparkles with citrus zest & a highly perfumed shower of jasmine petals. The heart then blossoms around a rose absolute overdosed with iris pallida, while the soft, gourmand base delights in a combination of smooth vanilla topped with caramel & paired with delicately sweet tonka bean. All completed with a misty cloud of white musk. A Lengendary Bottle: Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912, its iconic 'inverted heart' bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece & represented a real technical feat at the time.
