Eau de Tulle

I have finally found my wedding day scent. This is absolutely stunning! To me Eau de Tulle is a delicate vanilla with light citruses, refined orange blossom and the scent of Italian sugared wedding almonds lingering softly in the background. This is grace and elegance in a bottle. To me this has similarities to Dans Paris by Celine, which I adore and was my original wedding day pick, however Eau De Tulle is lighter/arier and more refined. I don’t see any similarity to Dama Bianca, which isn’t a scent I personally enjoy. I wish Eau de Tulle came in a 200ml bottle! While it says it’s available in the bee bottle under the Bouquet de la Marie name, I haven’t been able to get it on the Guerlain website in the UK. Either way this will be a forever big! 10/10! Since this is a re-release of Bouquet de la Mariée, maybe a re-release of Baiser de Russie will come in the L’art & La Matiere collection in future 🤞

Stunning stunning stunning. I owned a bottle of LPBJDMV a few years back and was hesitant to repurchase because of how ridiculously expensive the bottles go for now. This smells 95% similar and the only difference is this is slightly lighter and a little more gourmand whereas LPBJDMV was a touch more floral. That being said, the performance of this is STRONG. I can smell it strongly hours after applying. The scent will linger even after you’ve taken a shower so be careful not to overspray. One of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever smelt. It smells like if you combined Angelique Noire and Mon Precieux Nectar, with a touch of Cuir Beluga. This is an elevated Love Don't Be Shy if you're into that scent profile. Im so happy Guerlain brought this back.

This was such a surprise to me, because I was expecting something much lighter. It's not that it's heavy, but it's a middleweight rather than ephemeral perfume. The prominent notes that I get are patchouli and chocolate. To be honest, I was searching for the Angelica, since I love it in Angelique Noire, but - perhaps it was the heady-scented environment of Harrods that disguised it - I really couldn't detect it. However, while it wasn't what I expected, I do really like it. It somehow felt like 'me', and was incredibly comforting. I need to test it more to get more of a sense of it, but my early thoughts are that (i) my family would probably not like it; but (ii) that I think this could be something I wear just for myself, and that always feels right.

Having tried this and also compared it to Bouquet de la Mariée at the Guerlain boutique, I can safely say that they are 90% similar, with Eau de Tulle being more gourmand, heavier on the tonka. It's a gorgeous, ethereal scent that sensually blends vanilla, orange blossom and almonds. Think sugared almonds at a wedding, spritzed with orange blossom water. I would love a bottle, just because it would be a pretty addition to my perfume wardrobe. However, performance isn't amazing for what you're paying for. One generous spray on each wrist lasted for about 5 hours, it became a skin scent after an hour of spraying. But then again, it's Guerlain. You appreciate its artistry.

This is was an immediate full bottle purchase. I did not need to wait for the dry down on this to know that this would have a home in my collection of fragrances. This is a masterpiece IMO. This starts out bright, fresh green citrus on me and then melts into a creamy, sugary, incense-y almond orange blossom. It almost takes on the “doll head” note, but in the best way possible, delicately sweet and incredibly feminine. This fragrance made me tear up at the fragrance counter as it transported me back to time with my grandma as a child. I feel so incredibly lucky to own this fragrance. Also can’t wait to layer this with my Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21🤤
