La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette

This is just lovely, I have a sample of this pretty EDT I sprayed it first thing in the morning and it's perfect for spring/summer and i actually imagine it on a winter night as well, just before going to bed!! It's opening is very pretty, on my skin it's all about sour cherries at first spritz but after i rub my wrists together (I do this to offer the perfume more breathing space and to have a touch of perfume to both wrists without concentrating it...i'm used to heavy perfumes lol) So the sour cherries, yes....tart with a hint of sweetness to it and i actually get a bit of patchouli with the apples and orange blossom, I dunno how they made it this time, every note is distinct but they blend so nicely together. After about 10 mins after it settles down, i get some green notes but it's very subtle as well as the roses and jasmine which is weird they always pop on my skin but this time they're really tame while the freshness of the apple and the orange blossom are more dominant and the sour cherries somehow tones these two down. I think it's also because of the amber, its warmness is countering the effect of the freshness and we're left with a well balanced sweet-fresh-tart scent. Now the musk, i think it's the anchor of perfumes, whenever it's there on the list down at the base notes I know that it'll be subtle throughout the experience but THERE ya know giving the perfume richness and well anchoring it. I love musk. I think it's weird that the appearance of the notes on me are reversed and i can't seem to keep the rose and jasmine on me for long, they stay for another 10 mins after settling down then just they disappear. It's not sad, I've a lot of perfume that have jasmine and rose where these notes are "present" so it's a nice change for me to have them for a while then buhbye, I actually like this. The dry down features patchouli, very well presented with the sour cherries which is the dominant note in this fragrance I like the dry down very much, it's fresh and has a hint of citrus to it somehow. I'm actually impressed, i tested the EDP before and i think it's less impressive if you compare it and the EDT. I'm talking about the 1st EDP here the 2009 one which is has a very strong licorice note that made me hate the perfume. However, this EDT made me reconsider the whole La petite robe noire collection and i might give the EDP of THIS edt a try or la petite robe noire 2. I'm excited to try them now which is weird ;P I might get it actually, it's not something I'd get but this year I'm trying to buy perfumes out of my comfort zone and experiment with fruity and sweet scents (which i used to dread and avoid) BACK TO THE REVIEW, i tend to lose focus sometimes lol, the sillage is not bad, it's not so close to the skin but it's not all over the room, not bad. The longevity is also not bad it stays for 3-4 hours, but who cares if i had this perfume i'd reapply it whenever i can, it's very pretty, lovely and pleasant :P Chic in a fun way. It's a perfect perfume to start your day when you're feeling good and wanna stay feeling this way throughout the day. Do i like it? yes. Do I love it? I think I certainly did. A very weird thing of me to love such a perfume, a nice change for me.

It's been a while since I fell in love with this gorgeous cute bottles,but I could'nt get along with LPRN edp,though it was not in my dislike list but there was something there that pushed me away,a medical smell,perhaps licorice+cherry To be honest,I bought edt without even a single test,hoping to own a lighter version of edp to give it time and maybe get along with it more easily,it turns to be right that I am really lucky in my blindbuys,there is no need to try to like this one,this is just mine from the initial spray LPRN edt is the younger sister,Ican see similar genes,but this one is lighter,brighter,fresher,happier,much more wearable for me It is a simple floralfruity,starts mouthwarering sour and sweat with a dominant cherry and apple,and soon rose and jasmine kick in,this young a bit green scent makes me smile,it's as refreshing as drinking a cool glass of smoothie(mix of fruit juices)in a hot summer day...and what is this green nutty undertone here?!I can detect it vividly but there is not such a note listed here,is this pistachio?or a green almond?I simply love it❤ I prefer to wear it during spring,and am thankful of guerlain for such a easygoing younglady spring scent,unexpectedly my man loves it and encourages me to use it daily,the only problem here is about moderate longevity and sillage,which is not bad for an edt ❤❤❤❤ گرلن لاپتیت روبه نویر ادوتویلت، شباهت هایی به خواهرهای دیگه ش داره،،مثل خواهر بزرگترش ادوپرفیوم، آلبالویی هست و مثل خواهر دیگه ش لاپتیت فرش،یه نت سبز آجیل،مثل پسته یا بادوم سبز داره لاپتیت ادوتویلت، بجز اشتراک نت آلبالو،شباهت دیگه ای با ورژن ادوپرفیوم نداره،آلبالو در اینجا هم نت غالب هست اما در حد ادوپرفیوم یکه تازی نمیکنه،برخلاف ادوپرفیوم، فضای این ورژن کاملا خنک هست..اگه مشکل تون با لاپتیت ادوپرفیوم دراین بود ک ترکیب آلبالو و شیرین بیان،رایحه شربت های دارویی رو براتون تداعی میکرد،از این بابت با ادوتویلت مشکلی نخواهد داشت گرلن لاپتیت ادوتویلت، رایحه غالبی از آلبالو و سیب سبز داره،این نت های میوه ای و ملس و آبدار،فضایی کاملا خنک و فرش رو بوجود آوردن،رایحه کمرنگی گلی در پس زمینه عطر، تامین کننده لطافت زنانه اون هستن این ترکیب میوه ای، گلی خنک و ملس،در بستری را سبز از پچولی و ترکیبات سبزی مانند پسته سبز،همراه با کمی مشک تمیز و پودری حاضر میشن،،ادوتویلت باتوجه به خنک و کم شیرین بودنش بسیار مناسب تابستون هست در، رایحه ملایمش حالت جوون ودخترونه ای داره اما چون رایحه شیرین و لوس صورتی رایج عطرهای دخترونه رو نداره،میتونه برای خانمهای جوون هم مناسب باشه ماندگاری و پخش اون متوسط هستن ک باتوجه ب ملایمت و خنکی عطر،کاملا قابل قبول هست

April 2015: It was on my wish list and finally I purchased it. My previous review was based on a paper strip try but finally the notes are little bit different so I review it again. Definitely cherry is the very first note detectable. There is a little bit of rose note as well. Finally I do not notice apple so much but it should be somewhere on the background. Jasmine is noticeable as well and not in your face way. A big surprise for me is this patchouli note that finally is rather characteristic and at the same time completely different from the one in any other fragrance tested so far. Usually I do not like it so much and avoid perfumes with a strong patchouli note as it destroys the scent for me. But here I just love it and with patchouli it becomes more punchy making disappear an illusion about the young and completely girly type of fragrance. Patchouli makes this eau de toilette more mature. It is finally not so sweet just slightly sweet, it is more fresh then creamy. It just cannot become annoying. Gerlain is a very old perfume house so no doubt that this perfume is of a high quality with a very long lasting power and strong silage. A definitive keeper. October 2015: it's so pretty, refreshing and so cute as scent! I find myself achieving it more and more often. I like it so much! I would like to own in addition a green bottle of the Robe with pistachio note. It has a similar vibe but notes are different. Guerlin signature is recognizable in both.

If edp strongly reminds me Lolita Lempicka, edt strongly reminds me Princesse Marina De Bourbon. Shame, shame, shame... p.s. Decided to describe the fragrance... It opens with sour cherry and much less with rose, sweet and sour at the same time. And then in the sillage it starts to smell like sour cherry would mix with Princesse Marina De Bourbon. Of course, amber is noticeable. Black currant and apple are also very noticeable. Luckily on me there is no much musk. I feel musk, but there is no soap on me. The sillage is strong. When I tested edp, I didn't get so airy sillage. I wanted edp, but the fact that it reminds me one of my favorite fragrances - Lolita Lempicka freaks me out( Maybe I wouldn't buy this one too, if I had tested it better because of the similarity with Princesse Marina De Bourbon. But I'm glad that I bought edt. It has more not deep, but fine airy sillage, despite I prefer deep fragrances. Actually, I just wanted to find new cherry or sour cherry deep and even gourmand fragrance. But I will better buy Lolita Lempicka again. This edt I will use, too. Only... Read the review:)

I like all of the La petite Robe Noirs that I have; EDP, EDT, Couture, Intense and Black Perfecto. And I suppose I should like Couture (raspberry) or Black Perfecto (rose) the most, due to my usual preferences, but actually, the EDT scent is the one that I like the most. Well, of course the EDT has the rose and the berry (cherry) that my usual perfume favourites tend to have, but there is also a certain freshness, that the other LPRNs do not have (although Couture comes close). I would say LPRN EDT is a spring fragrance or up north where I live also a summer fragrance (the temperatures here rarely rise above 25 Celsius - not even in the summer). There is quite a bit of romance in the fragrance, it's pink, sophisticated, sweet but still fresh. There is also something hard-to-pinpoint classic about it. As for longevity... better buy a bigger bottle or two bottles, one to keep at home and another to keep with you to reapply during the day. Sillage is ok, as long as you apply quite liberally before going out. For me this is pure spring romance.

Very 'good girl' scent. Innocent with a hint of sexy. I don't get any of the top notes at all. It goes straight to the middle notes for me, and it is a truly sour cherry at first (I'd say the apple plays a part in that too). You can almost taste the tartness. It drys down into a sweeter and softer scent, though. I don't get the syrupy cherry at all, not a cough drop cherry. It's like cherry juice. The longevity isn't amazing on neither my clothes or skin. I'd say I get a good 3-4 hours of it before it starts dissipating into nothing. But while it's there... IT'S THERE! The sillage is great. I find that during the summer in very hot weather it can be a bit overbearing and sickening, but for me it lasts better during the summer. The cold weather does the smell better justice, in my opinion. It smells crisp and light. I wouldn't say it's a safe blind buy. It's quite a... complex cherry. I would say some might find this scent a bit offensive. I quite like it but my little sister, who usually shares my tastes, absolutely hates it.

I love this fragrance, as well as the EDP. While the EDP is cherries and smokey tea, this EDT is cherries, almonds and a feminine powdery note. It's bubbly and girly but also comforting and warm. I don't get the extreme "green" notes some people complain about, which is good as I don't really like green accords. The silage (on me) isn't all that strong but it lasts very well for such a soft scent. On clothes, it lasts all day. I know this is almost universally described as a perfume for those under 30 (some people say strictly teens!) but I disagree. Besides the fact that it makes no sense to categorize smells by age (since everyone is different and age really isn't important), it doesn't smell like typical "teen perfumes." I'd say, even based on traditional ideas of perfumes for ages, this suits anyone. It isn't overly cotton-candy sweet and the powdery note makes it less "little-girl" and more womanly. This has become one of my favorite perfumes and I think it's great for every day and any season! Merci, Guerlain!

This has been my signature scent since 2012. I stole it from my Mom who is a Guerlain addict LOL! At some point this was the only perfume that I owned but I did not get tired of it. Even years later, I keep coming back to this sweet cherry scent. I think this perfume is affordable for the quality and the longevity that you get. Of course the EDT doesn’t last as long as the EDP but it is okay if you enjoy wearing lighter scent during the warmer days. The EDT is fresher than the EDP because it has a green note which I personally enjoy in my perfumes. I prefer wearing the EDT during day time & summer while keeping the EDP for night time ( including summer) and during the colder days because of its warmness. Honestly, I don’t think there will ever be a better cherry perfume than this one. If you’re thinking about getting TF lost cherry forget about it and get LPR EDP which is cheaper and last longer. LPR has great sillage, the smell is very complex, sexy, sweet, dark and fresh! An absolute winner for me !

I like the La Petite Robe Noire EDT much better than the EDP. The EDP is similar to the Lolita Lempicka perfumes and too almondy sweet for me, the EDT is more original. It starts with a fresh and natural cherry scent. I do smell a bit of rose, but fortunately it's not dominant and blends well with the cherry. There is also something slightly spicy that reminds me of cinnamon or a fizzy soft drink like coke, even though I have no idea where this is coming from. I wonder if there really isn't the tiniest hint of licorice from the original EDP, I think I can detect some. The apple note becomes noticeable in the heart. To me it's not a green apple but rather apple juice or spritzer. Under the refreshing fruity and floral notes there is a warm golden base of musk, amber and patchouli. The drydown is ambery sweet with a hint of cherry coke. Contrary to others I don't find this green, it's a warm fruity scent for me. For an EDT it's also quite intense. Very good.

This perfume is gorgeous! It is sweet and sophisticated, you can easily recognize the cherries. I sprayed this on my wrist today to sample it, and I will have to buy it for myself as a birthday gift :) The opening is very fresh, slightly green. As it begins to dry down, I concur with other reviewers that it turns somewhat spicy. Almost has a pink pepper-ish feel to it. Once it completely dries down, it is a very musky sweet. It sticks to your skin like glue, and lasts very well for an EDT. After six hours, the smell is still strong on my skin. I love that the smell is consistent. I have many perfumes that are sweet/fruity initially and then loose their magic. This perfume is fresher at first and spicier in the middle, but I feel like it maintains its character. Also, it is way longer lasting than my other sweet perfumes, probably thanks to the musk. Love love love it.

LPRN edt is just so, so pretty! Appropriate for all seasons, all ages and all occasions, day or night. A truly cherry-centric gourmand that's sweet but not cloyingly so. On my skin the longevity is a good 6-8 hours and the sillage IS noticeable, based upon compliments I've received when I've worn it to work. If long, flowery/literary reviews are your preference, I do apologize, but I see no need to go on and on and on... Seems sufficient to say that LPRN edt is a lovely fragrance for lovers of cherry scents, it garners compliments and it lasts a good long while after applying. Sale prices at fragrancenet make this beauty quite affordable, too. (I just purchased my back-up.) PS: I have and love the edp as well and find it almost identical but the cherry is deeper/darker & a bit less sweet with a somewhat lengthier longevity. (Bought a back-up of the edp as well!)

When I first received this, I thought it was weak, and a little bitter and was sorely disappointed. It's now been sitting for about 6 months and it smells like a completely different scent. Now that the bottle has matured a bit, it's a complex warm whimsical (to borrow another reviewer's word) number. I find it better for warmer days than the EDP, but the pleasant play dough almond is still there, along with a light patchouli (apparently it's a thing!), and a smooth white amber. I still get a light, airy cherry, a slight apple to keep it fresh, and a bit of jasmine. In some areas that I sprayed (the warmer ones), I can also detect a smooth white musk. Its opening starts with a fresh tea and bright natural apple, but on drydown the tea turns a little smoky. TLDR - The EDP's little playful sister that shines in the warm weather. Worth it to own both for sure.

I’ve been wearing this for a few days and I have arrived at the opinion that I love it. That said, I can see why some don’t like it. I find it sparkling, so not powdery in the opening. I love the cherry, which I find predominant but supported by the other notes. It does have a slightly “shampoo-ey” smell in the drydown but to me it just reads as clean. My nose may be off but I would swear I smell more almonds than cherry in the drydown. **edited My boyfriend (both in our 40s) is undergoing chemo. I try not to wear perfume around him because of related sensitivities, but I had already put this on when I went and saw him. It was about a 30 min trip, so about an hour and a half after application. Not only did it not make him nauseous, he complimented me and said I smelled so good. Definitely a winner in my book! We

I just love it. Tried it on at Mitsukoshi a month ago and the scent stuck in my mind so I couldn't resist buying it when I found in a taxfree shop at the airport. The initial spray does have a slight shampooie feel to it, I got a feeling of just washed hair but the scent is soft, classy and smells expensive. Cherries, apples and almonds stand out the most. After 20 mins it turns slightly spicy on my skin, I'm not yet sure if I enjoy this part, but I guess it gives this perfume an edge and makes it interesting. Funnily enough I don't get the spice at all when I spray it on my clothes. The Edt is very different from the Edp. I didn't even realize it was the same scent in different strengths when I tried them both on. I found the Edt enchanting while I really didn't care for the Edp at all.

This scent absolutely intrigues me. When it first came out, I didn't like it. Now I'm very old, somehow my nose has changed. What I LOVE is that this perfume makes me feel young, light and happy - like I'm cavorting in the South of France in springtime, I'm 20 years old and 40kg lighter. It smells like freshly cut hay to me and I love that. I thought it might be lavender, but I see no lavender in the notes. As it progresses to the middle notes, it has a kind of muddled sharpness that's less pleasant. Then right at the end, it's lovely again, there's that fresh hay scent and some kind of soft vanilla note even though there's no vanilla! Not a compliment-getter, but I love how it makes me feel and I enjoy its complexity on my skin.

I got this perfume for Christmas. Every time I wear it, I feel so classy and elegant. For starters, the bottle itself is so beautiful. The perfume itself is beautiful as well. When I first smell this perfume, I definitely smell cherry and nuts. In my opinion, that sounds strange for a perfume, but in all honesty, it smells delightful. I've never smelled anything like this. (I've never smelled the EDP of this perfume, so I can't compare it to that.) The only con I have with this perfume is that I can't smell it after approximately two hours. However, this could be something to do with my own nose because I seem to have a lot of problem smelling any perfume a few hours after I spray it. Would I recommend? OF COURSE!

Profumo completo, questo l'aggettivo giusto per l'eau de toilette. Universale il suo utilizzo, per quattro stagioni sia diurno che notturno. Fragranza fruttata, acida e fresca. Apre forte con note di ciliegia e mela verde, quest'ultima in fase iniziale sovrasta tutti per poi lasciare di nuovo il passo alla ciliegia che questa volta è scortata dal bouquet fiorito (jasmina-rosa-fiori d'arancio). Le note di base sono avvertibili in maniera modesta, per evitare sovrapposizioni con il cuore fruttato. Ciò che dà una marcia in più è la nota verde che rende umido il cesto di ciliege. Prodotto vivamente consigliato per under 35. Profumo 9,5/10 Sillage 7/10 Longevità 7,5/10

There are so many versions of this one it's difficult to remember which style of dress is featured on each version's bottle but this is the one I happened to purchase and I'm very glad to have it. I appreciate it more each time I wear it. Is it sophisticated? No. Is it a "classy" Guerlain? No. But it IS definitely a long lasting, youthful and uplifting fragrance that creates a happy mood and makes me smile each time I wear it. Cherries and patchouli combine to create a Cherry Coke/Cherry Dr. Pepper concoction that's a truly tasty gourmand treat. Never fails to get compliments. When I wear it to work people tell me I smell delicious. That's a win in my book.

I’ve smelled it in Duty Free 4 years ago. And fell in love! Then I purchased it on my way back home in the airport. BUT, they gave me an EDP version. At first I was disappointed because EDP is very strong syrupy sweet cherry, heavy scent. But I fell in love with it. So I’ve Now tried Black perfecto EDP, EDT, and original EDP. So I now purchased my original love, EDT, and I’m not disappointed. First of all it’s now A LOT cheaper then 4-5 years ago. I got 75 ml for 35£. And longevity is about 4 hours which Is not bad for an EDT. But it’s my favourite perfume dna That I can now wear in all seasons. ( I could not take the strength of the EDP for summer)

Joan Marie Bauman mentioned below that Hermes and Guerlain only use natural essences. This would explain why both 24 rue Faubourg and this perfume broke me out. I really adore it, I love the rosey, vanillary, maraschino cherry compotte so much. It projects. It stays, the sillage is amazing (7hours and counting!). It's cute, cozy, warm and comforting... it smells of Guerlinade. It has this slightly masculine edge on me as well which I appreciate and respect in well made perfumes. But I won't be able to use it since I'm getting an allergic reaction to it. It's the beast of this beauty :-( very sad.
