Champs-Elysees is a fresh, powdery, floral fragrance created for Women in 2021 as part of the Guerlain Les Legendaires collection.
Review
This scent is light, fresh, and feminine. Its lightness boasts a playful side, while maintaining a gentle elegance. Mimosa is the star of the show, adding a gentle powdery essence that never goes to powdery while paired with Mimosa Leaves and Almond Wood. It has a distinct feminine quality that brings an energy to the senses. It is the perfect warm weather scent to wear with a flowing summer dress, whether you’re staying home or out and about all day. Being both playful and elegant in essence, it works well for either casual or formal occasions, and will last while remaining close to the skin. It is comparable to the original 1904 and 1996 recreations of Champs-Elysees.
Inspiration
Champs-Elysees is inspired by Spring and Summer and the lightness of flowering Mimosa in the air…as well as the Guerlain flagship store at 68 - Avenue des Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Notes
Mimosa Leaves bring a gentle green touch to a floral blend of Bulgarian Rose and Mimosa Flowers. Buddleia, aka Butterfly Bush, and Hibiscus Seeds deepen the overall floral heart of this scent, with the fruity essence of Blackcurrant Berries coming in to keep things from becoming too powdery. Almond Wood and Sandalwood bring a gentle woodiness that adds the perfect amount of depth, and a touch of Vanilla adds to the gentle sweetness that keeps the flowers blooming on the skin.
